Estimated Budget For Website Creation And Mgmt

Posted by Anonymous on 125 Points
I am a part of a team of advertising students creating a mock MarCom plan to initiate behavioral change among our target audience. It can be considered a social norms campaign.

I'd like to know what an estimated annual cost might be for creating and managing a website meeting the criteria below:

Creation:
-Student oriented website similar to layout and process at Ratemyprofessor.com
-Purpose is to have social event centered community
-Proprietary virtual event hosting, mail system, and possibly 2 more features
-Innovative and professional logos, graphics, layout
-Social Network within site with full profiles, user interactivity i.e. comments, messages, and images.
-Directory of colleges represented by participating students
-Limited content creation and administration in the form of public events

Management:
-Filtering and administration to protect site and users from malicious content
-Weekly updates of site including main page proprietary content
-Management and updating of new features
-1 year management testing period followed by analysis of progress and possible adjustments

Thanks for your thoughts and recommendations-- I'll be checking and updating and responding to this post often.

    Why don't you post this question on elance.com (or another bidding service) to get some rough, concrete estimates?

    Depending on the resources you already have in-house, the quality of the end-product, and the level of service you want to provide costs can be low thousands (if you can use existing modules from CMS products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems) to the high-tens-of-thousands.
