Hi Rich,

Sorry I haven't answered until now, lots going on. It's a bit difficult 
question to answer accurately just based on your description. It seems 
like they would be simple sites - I'd venture a range between $700 and 
$1500 depending on how much we'd need to customize the WordPress theme 
and how we'd connect and display the data sources. And if you wanted 
multiple sites that use features from the first site, that would lower 
the cost for the additional sites.

I can give you some examples of sites we've done along with their cost.

https://connectingpoint.nepm.org/
We just finished doing a complete redesign for New England Public 
Media's Western Mass television news show. The site was originally an 
archival site, they wanted to switch it to be more interactive and live 
and they wanted something very clean and light to highlight the images 
and video feeds. We switched to a different theme (Divi is our go-to 
these days). We needed to script the blog pages and the slider to allow 
for using either an image or a video from either YouTube or their 
proprietary system.
The site includes a timer function, at midnight on Friday it shows a 
countdown to 6pm along with information information and images about the 
episode along with buttons for adding you to their mailing list and 
another to be put on a reminder list for upcoming shows. When the 
countdown ends at 6pm it refreshes the page and shows the live feed and 
hides the episode information, then at 6:30 it switches back to the 
normal site. $2,500.

Also for New England Public Media, we developed this bilingual website 
for their show. Similar issue with displaying the blog post videos or 
images. $1730.

Converted the existing WordPress site and set up a custom ticket 
selection system. $1400.

https://mitsuwa.com/
We develop this site for a Chicago advertising agency that has Mitsuwa, 
a national Japanese grocery store chain, as their client. The ad agency 
gives us the design and we implement it. We converted their site to 
Divi, as well.
We developed a complex system for them where they can import a batch of 
products in an Excel spreadsheet (and upload images) to display their 
products for each of the stores, for a video feed in their stores, for 
upcoming sales and for vendors and management to preview upcoming sales 
before they go live. In addition, they can set up banner images and 
events with images and text. All of these (product batches, individual 
banners, and individual events) are set to display in any particular 
store according to an assigned date range.
They keep adding functions so I'll just say the conversion to Divi and 
basic functions I described were approx. $10,000. We're also currently 
working on a shopping cart system that organizes pickups and deliveries 
for $5760.

Another site we developed for the Chicago advertising agency which 
supplied the design. A personnel site in English and Japanese displaying 
available jobs in the US and a separate site for Mexico. We created a 
backend system for managing both applicants and companies. $7500.

https://inner-act.com/
Converted an existing site to WordPress and re-developed it and created 
the animations, they supplied the logo. $1700.

Simpler sites we developed and created the logo for:
https://oilco-op.com/ - also developed the slideshow, and developed a 
custom member signup and management system with three different tiers 
and different pricing depending on the month you sign up. $1900.
https://wellspringneuro.com/ $650.
https://adimech.com/ $650.
https://optimalbrain.com/ $650.

best,
Sam

>> I am working on a few projects and need some ballpark costs to build 
>> into the numbers.
>>
>> The cases would all be for a graphic designer+web developer (type not 
>> important: individual, team or company)
>> The site would be Wordpress without needing hosting or technical 
>> support - I would be handling that.
>> SO the needs would include:
>>         This are medium sized sites, the bulk of content is from 
>> various data sources with a few static info pages.
>>         Basic branding (no high end commercial branding)
>>         Basic rules as to color and look, perhaps including suggested 
>> icons.
>>         A few sample pages showing these rules
>>         Recommending generally available themes/plugins (not 
>> including the cost of those)
>>         Reasonable response time, not rushed while not more that 2-3 
>> months either.
>>
>> I am looking for comments are to what an effort like this would cost, 
>> these is not relatively small budget, rather small projects.
>>
>> Hourly rates by themselves not helpful - total cost is question, 
>> although component breakout would be useful
>> This is not a request for a quote, although it is an opportunity to 
>> get on my list of to get details from for specific projects.
>> Note: this would also give me a chance to update the Hidden-tech 
>> directory as to graphic developers.
>> And please do no respond with anything visual although URLs are welcome.
>>
>> For current timing, sooner would be better - at least one of these is 
>> part of a grant proposal that needs to be included
>> by Feb 5th (coming Fri)
