If you’re a small charity looking to build or update your website, you’re probably wondering, “How much is this going to cost us?” The truth is, it depends on your needs, but let’s break down the options to help you budget.
The Key Factors That Affect Costs:
- DIY vs Professional Help:
- DIY platforms like Wix or Squarespace cost £10–£30/month but require time and effort.
- Most Professional designers charge £1,500–£5,000, depending on the complexity of your site.
- Impact Strategy Hub can offer professional services at significantly less for non-profits. Check out our latest pricing here.
- Features:
- A basic site with a homepage and contact form will cost less than one with donation systems or event booking tools.
- Ongoing Expenses:
- Domain: £10–£20/year.
- Hosting: £50–£200/year.
- Maintenance: £50–£100/month if you hire someone.
How to Save Money Without Cutting Corners:
- Focus on Essentials: Start with a few key pages (Home, About, Contact) and add more later. Blogs are only necessary when you’re ready to reach a wider audience or show expertise.
- Look for Grants: Many tech grants can help cover digital costs for charities.
- Choose the Right Platform: Platforms like WordPress are cost-effective and flexible.
