Costs of a web designer?

[Puddy_Tat]

I can always spend funding. We can always do a public awareness event with any underspend.

may depend on the terms of the grant - with some of these things, they are fairly prescriptive about what you can spend the grant on, and will expect to see physical results and maybe even to see proof you have spent that amount. (i've never really got involved from that end of a charity, but think it tends not just to be handing over a cheque and not take any more notice of it all.)

appreciate you don't want to get overloaded with sales pitches and so on, but wonder if talking to someone first, making it clear it's all only going to happen if you get this grant, might help you do a better grant application.

i guess it's a bit chicken and egg, not knowing what funding is available, not knowing what you're trying to specify, not knowing how much it's all going to cost.

grant funding tends to favour bigger charities or at least ones who've got someone who's good at applying for grants...

You need to get together a rough 'wireframe' of your site. But 10k is high, even for the private sector, assuming this is going to be 5 or 6 pages. Dont get taken to the cleaners here. The design of the site is not going to be much. Specialised copywriting is going to be a more expensive. The video editing side will also set you back. You'll be looking at about £350 a day for both those skillsets. You'll be offered probably two rounds of changes if you do it on a flat rate project basis.

You can use free images through Wikimedia but you can get better royalty free images from shutterstock, adobe stock etc for peanuts really. I wouldn't worry about the price of the website. Squarespace or Wix are 'CMS' (content management system), so even my nana can update it these days. Wordpress is far more complicated and I wouldn't recommend that for your needs.

I need a house building. Im not sure whether it is a one or two story house. Also the number of rooms may or not be flexible. The finish is also negotiable etc etc.
This is analagous to what you are asking for.
Maybe use some of your tiny budget to commision someone to tell what your requirements actually are or alternatively listen to the free advice that you are getting on this thread

Someone's asking for help on something that's outside their comfort zone so really no need to be arsey.

No it's not. My original post was fairly specific. No I don't know how many pages it needs exactly, but I do know it needs xy z and did say what it needed to contain (now deleted for anonymity) in my original post

using your analogy, if I said how much for a family sized house in south London, roughly speaking, I would hope someone would say you are looking at min £500,000, and if you look in this area £x or newbuild £x . That level of detail

Ive put together a really rough budget up thread and asked if it looks plausible there seems to be dis agreement if it does or not.

Its very rough but it's enough for the application. If I am successful in getting funding I will cut my cloth accordingly. I'll write a detailed brief and get more than one quote. But I don't need to worry about that level of detail yet and I'm not interested in what software they use.
