Specification document - from £249.50

I recommend that every person commissioning a bespoke website should spend between 10% and 20% of their total project budget on producing the specification.

The following table may give a very rough idea of these costs;

ProjectApproximate specification cost
Brochure website~£250
Very small ecommerce~£300
Hotel booking system~£1,500
Large ecommerce~£2,000
Very large ecommerce~£4,000
I want facebook~£10,000

A new specification document will typically involve a face-to-face meeting or conference call to discuss the vision statement and requirements list. Once the requirements list has been drawn up there will typically be a second meeting to walk you through it. Once a requirements list has been finalised a technical specification will be created for it.

Additional version of a specification - £49.50

A certain amount of admin is created each time a specification document changes. This is essential to ensure the smooth running of your project.

You should budget for at least two new versions on any normal project.

Completion verification - price on request

Completion checks are normally linked to the initial cost of the specification, so allow 20% of your initial specification cost for this.

Hourly rate - £49.50

Additional meetings and consultancy are always available and charged on an hourly basis.

Travel costs for meetings - at cost

I'm happy to travel for meetings. Expenses are chargeable and travel time is charged at half my standard hourly rate. I'm based in Yeovil, Somerset (England).

Payment schedules - 50/50

For all jobs the payment schedule is 50% in advance and 50% upon delivery.

VAT

Please note that VAT is not charged for any of these services

    I'm happy not having a fancy mobile phone... but I kinda really want a Kindle! Would I actually read more if I had one? I feel like I would.

    Just had another over the top sales call from the "police initiative" magazine. Unbelievably rude and pushy. I hope they're not legitimate!
