Hello,
I have been asked by my old Headteacher to go back to my old school to design a new school website.
As well as designing the website's look, the whole website will be a custom-made CMS coded myself in PHP.
The current plan has around 60 pages planned (yes, a lot of information) and my work will involve asking the
appropriate staff to write the content, type it up if it is handwritten, and put it into the website. For current
documents like the Prospectus, School Policies, Newsletters, Letters to Parents, etc I will have to proof read and
omit sensitive information and then convert to PDF and upload.
For each curricular subject, the department will have it's own area, where the current staff listing and their
photographs will feature, along with information on the courses that the department runs, and the facility for
teachers in that department to upload files for pupils and parents to view/download.
I am also responsible for taking photographs and editing them if necessary to make them suitable for use on the web,
recording the names of everyone in the photograph in order to write to their parents seeking permission, in line
with the school's Child Protection policy.
The whole website is expected to be finished within around 6 weeks, and I may work from home or within the school
premises.
The hosting and domain name are being sorted and are not my concern.
My headteacher has asked me to come back with a reasonable price for this sort of work.
My question is, what would be deemed "reasonable" for the amount of work detailed above?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Danny
