How much does a charity website cost?

There isn't one standard price for a charity website. The cost depends on who builds it, how much work is involved and what your website needs to do.

DIY can be the lowest-cost option. Platforms such as Wix, Squarespace and WordPress allow you to build a website yourself, but you'll need to invest your own time in planning, content, design and building it.

A freelancer may charge anywhere from hundreds to several thousand pounds, depending on their experience and the complexity of the project. A small studio will typically cost more, but may offer a broader range of expertise. An agency can provide a larger team and more complex functionality, but costs can rise significantly.

The final price isn't just about the build. Consider the cost of your website platform and hosting, as well as content writing, photography, branding, design, accessibility, integrations and functionality such as forms, events, donations or directories.

Don't forget ongoing costs either. Domains, platform subscriptions, maintenance, support and future improvements all need to be considered.

Where does Think Violet's Design Week fit?

Think Violet's £1,750 Design Week is designed specifically for small charities that need a professional, manageable website without the cost or complexity of a traditional agency project. Your Wix ongoing cost is £14 per month / £168 per year.

You provide the content and existing branding; I handle the structure, design, build and launch of your website in one focused week.

Design Week sits between DIY and a traditional studio or agency project: you get professional design and website expertise, but within a tightly defined scope and timeframe.
