  • How much does an Educational Networks web design package cost for middle schools?

    Posted by admin on November 28th, 2009 and filed under middle schools | 3 Comments »

    I’m looking into various web services for a middle school website. I saw Educational Networks
    http://www.educationalnetworks.net/?rn=2074518
    but they don’t give prices. Does anyone know how much it costs? Or if there are any other school website design companies, how much do those cost?

    It’s hard to say how much they charge. I would estimate in the $3,000 to $15,000 range. However it would not surprise me if they charged significantly more. There are a lot of companies used to working with government and it can be amazing how much they charge, and often for shoddy work.

    If you are looking for a more general price, I would recommend looking at local web design studios, seeing if they have the experience to take on a project such as a middle school. I’m assuming you are going to need more than a static website. You will need some sort of content management system to edit content, add new content and provide dynamic content pulling from databases and so forth. Not all design studio’s can do that, but there are plenty that can.

    Do a few searches for web design firm or web design studio with your city or region and see what comes up, check out their portfolio’s and pick a few to request a proposal with. The best way to get an accurate quote is to put together a brief email / outline of the website project as well as it’s goals, features, etc. and send that to a few studios for a quote.

    To get you started many better web design studios have a project question Word document to get you started by asking questions about your project, if they have one fill it out. You can check out this Word document http://www.acketon.com/wp-content/uploads/acketon_client_idea_project_sheet.doc
    from my design studio to get you started with thinking about features and components needed in the site.

    I would guess out of the blue you would be looking at a somewhere between $1,500 and $5,000 to get a site designed and running on a good open source content management system. I would highly recommend Drupal, ( http://www.drupal.org ) it is very powerful and one of the main CMS’s that I develop websites on. ( see: http://www.acketon.com/drupal-website-design/ )

      Not even a single place on internet will give you a free website.A personalised website with your domain name and without any ads will cost you money.A website builder like webs.com or indigloo.com can give you a cheap website.Indigloo costs you 70 us dollars.It gives you unlimited web pages.If you can login to your gmail,you can create your website in 30 minutes.Money is charged only when you are satisfied with your website.
