Looking for web designers

[annwfyn]

Hello! This is some work based research. Currently my place of work (which is a museum) is potentially looking to hugely develop our web presence and what we're doing with our website and I'm looking for companies who might want to partner with us.

Does anyone here either know or, has worked for, or has worked with a really good web design company who like experimenting, innovating, and do interesting things with interactive websites and web design? All recommendations welcome. Feel free to either comment here or mail me at sally.brewer@braintree.gov.uk.

I've called and someone is due to call me back so we can talk quotes etc. Thank you for the recommendation. :)

When you say 'partner with you', do you mean 'do the museum website for free'?

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

Nope. This is actually a project which may have a budget. Hence my asking for actual web design companies and not volunteers or people looking for experience for their portfolios etc.

I do occasionally get access to actual budgets in the heritage industry. Um. Just not very often.

I am appropriately impressed, and will forward.

Is the person in charge of releasing the budget aware of how much good web design projects cost?

Well, we are looking for quotes for a reason. Currently I have a spreadsheet with a variety of numbers pulled from the internet which vary hugely. Hence now wanting to talk to people about what we actually want, and how much time and energy it will take.

The majority of the budget will be something that we need to fundraise for. I don't have a 'person in charge of releasing the budget'. I've got the go ahead from the trustees to put in a number of grant applications, but to put those in I need a solid budget, and to build a solid budget I need decent quotes.

These are my friends Kate and Martin, who have just set up their own business. They're very good and like working with the public sector.

Incidentally, Martin is an Oxford person. He knows Caroline Walker, Steve Pearson and Krystyna, you may find you know him too.
