We can all probably agree that most website clients don’t have a lot of money to spend and would prefer to have as much work done for free as possible. We also know that even the most basic website needs at least an hour or two each week of some kind of attention. The problem is that even at two hours per week for an average website paying only minimum wage it would still cost over $1,800 for the year.
We know this is completely unrealistic for most small or even mid-size churches. So how can we meet in the middle?
Praise the Lord for volunteers! But we also have to eat and we believe that the laborer is worthy of their wages.
I have come up with a financial solution that in most cases is both affordable and attainable as long as the client is willing to spend at least $500 for the year.
We will approach each client/website with the same three phases,
Phase 1 – Assessment and fix of critical errors. This is a one time fee of $110.
Phase 2 – Apply scope of work based on budget. This is the full renovation and cost can vary depending on how much the client has to spend (Minimum $285)
Phase 3 – Training. This is a one time fee of $175.
This gets me to $570 and has a workflow that can be processed at that price. However, there will be time constraints that will have to be well-defined. Any additional hours outside of the scope of work outlined would be an additional fee. As long as everyone’s time and effort is valued we believe we can deliver a service to your clients that is affordable and effective.
