Cost guide & breakdown
One-time project work, plus the platform costs you'll pay directly — so there are no surprises down the line. Check the boxes that apply to your project to see a sample estimate.
Before you dive in
Here's what happens behind the scenes when someone visits your site — and which piece of the puzzle handles each step. The line items further down are just these pieces, priced out.

Part 1
Whether you're starting from zero or fixing what you have, choose what your organization needs. Most small nonprofits start with one or two of these.
Part 2
Two separate small bills: your domain name (the address) and your hosting plan (what keeps the site running). Neither is paid to your consultant.
A CMS (Content Management System) is the part of your site your own staff can edit — no developer, no code, no calling your consultant every time something changes. Think of it like a set of templates: you fill in the blanks, and the design stays consistent automatically.
Static pages
One page, one design — built once
These rarely change. When they do, it's usually a small design update from your consultant.
CMS collections
One template → unlimited entries
Your team adds, edits, or removes entries anytime — each becomes its own page automatically, using the same design.
Rule of thumb: if your site is mostly static pages — homepage, about, contact, donate — the Basic plan covers it. The moment you need even one collection (a blog, an events calendar, staff bios that change), you need the CMS (Premium) plan.
Part 3
Qgiv charges a monthly platform fee plus a small percentage of each donation. This is also billed directly to your organization.
Part 4
Beyond donations, most nonprofits run on forms — intake, applications, sign-ins, waivers, event registration. Jotform is billed directly to your organization, and prices below already include the nonprofit discount.
Your estimate
Based on what you've checked above. Ranges reflect project scope — your consultant will narrow this down after a short discovery call.

Notes
This is a sample estimate for planning purposes, not a final invoice. Pricing for platform fees (Webflow, Qgiv, Jotform, domain registration) is billed directly by those providers and subject to change. Final project pricing is confirmed in a written agreement before work begins.
