Separate upfront and ongoing costs
Quotes may combine or separate discovery, design, content migration, development and training. Ongoing costs can include hosting, software, support, domain renewals, integrations and future design work.
- Initial build and migration
- Recurring platform and service fees
- Optional commerce or integration costs
Account for volunteer time
A low cash price may require the committee to coordinate content, troubleshoot plugins and train each new administrator. Estimate who will perform that work and whether the responsibility is realistic during the season.
- Content preparation and entry
- Routine updates and troubleshooting
- Access and committee handover
