What it costs
Charges are based on several factors...

Ÿ
The size of the web site (ie: the number of pages involved)
Ÿ
The complexity of additional features - photo galleries, message-boards, blogs etc.
Ÿ
The frequency of updates for the site

The charging rate is £16 per hour, with a standard five-page web site costing about £100 to establish from scratch.  For this, the school will be given...

Ÿ
A free face-to-face consultation for initial ideas on colour and basic design, subject to travel expenses only (at 40p per mile)

Ÿ
Submission of a draft design and page style
Ÿ
Construction of the pages, menus and links
Ÿ
Free hosting (with no on-site advertising), and uploading of the site
The only extra set-up cost involves the purchase of a suitable domain name for the website.  This is about £6 for a two-year registration.
Once the site is established, on-going costs for most schools involve...

Ÿ
Weekly front page updates based on newsletter items and/or specific requests
Ÿ
Uploading of weekly newsletters for parents
Ÿ
Adding new material/pages where appropriate **
The average cost for schools is for 2-4 hours per term, ie: about £32-64 per term.

** Where the workload involved might be significantly higher than normal, schools are informed in advance.
