PROPOSAL
for the Journigan Lab
The Journigan Lab has a website, but in pursing industry funding, the site needs to be revamped to show their work in a more professional light.
Details
Move to WordPress
I build all websites on WordPress, which is open source and powers over 43% of the internet.
This means the site will be self-hosted (instead of hosted through Squarespace). Self-hosted means YOU own all of your own content, and no one can take it away from you! It also means more control over design and functionality for us moving forward.
Tech Details
- I recommend Flywheel for hosting – around $15/mo. I will set this up for you.
- SSL certificate (this keeps your site secure!), which is FREE with Flywheel.
- I recommend purchasing a domain at GoDaddy.com
- Work with me for monthly updates (see Housekeeping below) or make a plan yourself ($50/mo and the first 6 months after we launch are free!)

Housekeeping
Housekeeping: $50/mo (optional but highly recommended)
All WordPress sites need to be monitored and updated regularly. Some people don’t mind managing this themselves, and others just simply don’t remember or don’t want to. A site that is not updated can be hacked more easily than an updated one, so updates ARE important! But, on top of the time, sometimes when updates are made, it can break parts of the site.
This is where I offer a service called Housekeeping! Once a month I login and update all plugins and WordPress, clean up spam and the database, and fix anything that’s not working. During the month, I keep an eye on spam and hacking updates and make any adjustments that are needed to keep your site safe. It also means I’m the person you contact if your site goes down for any reason, and I’ll work with your tech stack to get it back up and running.
See the full list of what’s included here. With all new sites, 6 months are included free!
SCHEDULE
Start Time: Mid June
End Time: Early August
The dates above are approximate – we may be able to finish more quickly! Or additions may push the launch date out further
The faster you get back to me, the faster I can turn things around for you.
I also know you’re busy – and things take time. Don’t rush just to be done!
CONTRACT DETAILS
The above pricing is effective through a start date of August 2025.
If a contract is not signed by that time, and you would still like to work with me, another proposal will be drawn up at current rates.
Accepted payment forms include personal checks via mail or all major credit cards through Freshbooks or Paypal. Payment plans are available.
