What sets the cost of a Drupal project

A project's cost follows from its scope: the content and data it holds, the systems it connects to, the roles and languages it serves, and how long it has to be maintained after launch. A public-sector site adds drivers of its own, such as accessibility that has to be evidenced, multilingual publishing, legacy systems that stay in place, and procurement.

Project sizes and where the prices are

We place a project in one of these sizes, from a basic website to a mission-critical ecosystem:

  • Micro: basic informational website
  • Small: professional corporate website
  • Medium: advanced digital experience
  • Large: complex content or transaction platform
  • Extra Large: secure portal or intranet
  • Enterprise: integrated workflow application
  • Multi-Entity: enterprise multisite or institutional platform
  • Strategic: mission-critical digital ecosystem

The price, timeframe and delivery process for each size are on the pricing page.

How we run this work

Before a build project is signed, we build a prototype at no charge: a design, a clickable prototype or a working demo on real code, so you decide against something real. The build is then quoted at a fixed price against a written scope, and that price moves only if the scope does. Development work carries our warranty: one year by default, up to three. Keeping the site current after that is a separate maintenance agreement.

See it working before you commit

Tell us what you are planning. The prototype comes before any contract, and the build is quoted once you have seen it.
