It depends on many factors, but you could do either perhaps.

Questions about the materiality for one thing. Did the website cost $200,000 for a company that is worth only 1million? In which case, you should probably capitalize.

Or if it costs 10,000, you could really make a case for either or.

Well it's an internet startup company, which hasn't started trading yet. But the value of website development is about £50K.
