Affordable Websites
Every organisation needs a website, but not all organisations have deep pockets, especially those doing work that benefits people & planet. You shouldn't be left choosing between spending money that should go towards your work and settling for a site that undersells what you do.
With us, that trade-off is not one you need to make. Our mission is to lower the barrier of entry for great tech, and that's why we deliver this solution at-cost for eligible UK-based entities working in the public interest.
Who This Is For
This solution is available at our reduced rates to:
- registered charities
- Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs)
- Community Interest Companies (CICs)
- community benefit societies
- co-operative and mutual societies
- worker-owned businesses
If you're not sure whether you qualify, get in touch and we'll work it out together.
For-Profit Companies
We also take on work for for-profit companies, at higher rates across build, hosting and support, bringing our pricing closer in line with the wider market.
Those higher rates help subsidise the public interest work above: working with us as a for-profit company means part of what you pay goes towards charities, co-operatives and the rest of our mission-led client base. It's a similar principle to the discounted non-profit pricing long offered by major software providers, such as Microsoft 365 Nonprofit and Salesforce.org.
What We Build
Affordable pricing doesn't mean a lesser product. Every site we build is engineered to an exceptionally high standard.
Design & Development
- a complete design service, covering all functional and visual aspects of your site
- bring-your-own-brand, or see our branding add-on below
- Strapi, an open source CMS, integrated as standard so you can log in and edit your own content
- bespoke integrations where your needs go beyond a standard build
Quality & Accessibility
- built to WCAG AAA, the highest level of accessibility compliance
- fully responsive, tested across every screen size from phone to widescreen
- comprehensive automated and manual testing before every release
- a modern, actively maintained stack, built with progressive enhancement so your site still works before JavaScript loads
Hosting & Cost
- builds start from £500, scaling with the size of your project
- hosting starts from £10/month, scaling with traffic
- carbon-neutral hosting, covered as part of our environmental commitments
- your monthly hosting fee includes standard maintenance: security patches and iterative improvements to the platform your site runs on
- anything beyond that, like new features or design changes, is separate support work, still charged at-cost
Ownership
- open source by default, so you're never locked into us
- your content, your domain, your data
- documentation clear enough that another developer could pick up where we left off
Add-ons
- optional content copywriting, so your message lands as clearly as your design
- a full branding consultation: a bespoke logo and complete visual theme (colours, typeface, and so on) that together form a consistent language for your brand and are yours to keep and reuse across all your organisation's content, not just your site.
Our Process
a design consultation and wireframe or proof-of-concept, at a low fixed fee, credited against your final invoice if you go ahead
the build itself, priced at-cost once you've approved the direction, and with a tight feedback loop to keep us on-track
handover, with documentation and access to everything, so you're never dependent on us to keep going
