Website design for a Bristol based conference

The Brief

Client: The Bristol Conference

Start Date: November 2021

Services: Web Design & Development, Site Maintenance

The Bristol Conference, held at the stunning Wills Hall, is a place where people are able to share their love of 20th Century schoolgirl fiction. The organisers wanted a website to showcase the conference and provide an easy way for delegates to book their place.

The design

For this site I tried to encapsulate a”classic library” theme to suit both the subject matter of the conferences and reflect the magnificent history of the venue, Wills Hall.

Client's thoughts

We enjoyed working with Alice and she fulfilled our brief very well, creating a really attractive website that did what we needed. She was very responsive to our queries, and quick to make the minor tweaks we asked for once we had some experience of how it was working and realised we wanted a couple of things added.

How much does a website cost?

Good question!

And as with many such questions, the answer is “It depends!”

Professionally built websites can start from around £500 for a very simple build but can easily head up towards £2000-£10,000+ for larger or more bespoke projects. 

You need to consider what your website needs to be able to do in order to make it work well for your business.

Do you need a “shop window” that showcases your products or services and helps your clients to build confidence in your skills and quality?

Do you need a specific functionality such as a booking or payment platform?

How soon do you need your site to be ready?

All of these factors will be taken into consideration when your web developer puts together a quote for you. Best advice? Make sure you know what you want and communicate that clearly with your developer.

And if you’re not sure what you need yet, ask! If you can give your developer an overview of your business and what you want to achieve, they should be able to guide you on the kind of site that will best suit you.
