What you can expect for your project budget

So that we can prepare a realistic proposal and quotation we need to have an idea of your budget and the level of service you expect and require. Discussing budgets can be a tricky subject as clients are sometimes unwilling to specify a sum for fear of being overcharged. However, in my experience, discussion of approximate budgets is essential for a successful project.

All products and services come with various levels of functionality, quality, durability and after-sales service, all of which will affect the price. Website development is no different and it is therefore important to know what level of budget you have, so that we can advise you accordingly.

Should there be budgeting problems, we can work with you, to find an alternative solution and deliver a project that still meets your requirements, perhaps by removing some of the less essential functionality, or looking at phasing the project in such a way as to provide revenue stream coming in from Phase One, allowing the funding of Phase Two. In this way we can deliver a project that meets both your requirements and is within your budget.

To give you an idea of cost we have provided Price Builders/Website cost calculator. This enables you can work out an estimated price for your project. You can also see the level of service that is available for your budget.
 


We offer a range of service levels to suit most budgets and organisation structures. We understand that some organisations prefer telephone or face-to-face meetings throughout the planning and development of their website, while others are happy to correspond mainly by email and perhaps just an initial telephone call. You can choose the level of service that suits the way you like to work and your budget.
