Planning Your Web Project

  • What do you want your web site to do? Brochure site, e-commerce, social-hub/groups, intranet, fund raising, education/quiz, etc.
  • What do you want your web site to look like? Do you need a mobile and desktop version?
  • Do you have your content ready? Site outline, text, photos, etc.

Costs you should plan for may include:

  • Website Software Installation, Configuration, and Customization (a.k.a., "Development")
  • Graphic Design/Theming
  • Monthly Server Hosting Fees
  • Annual Domain Name Registration
  • Annual SSL Security Certificate (if you'll be collecting private information from site vistors)
  • Periodic Maintenance (for applying security updates & bug fixes to your server's software)
  • Technical Support (for you, your staff, and your website visitors, if needed)
  • Training
  • Content Management & Moderation (if you don't plan to do it yourself)
  • Additional Third Party services (Bulk E-mail Newsletters? Video Encoding? Credit Card Processing?)
