Developing a School District Web Presence Deciding on a Web Designer If money is not an issue, you should definitely hire a reputable web design firm to handle the site for you. Make sure to see a portfolio of their work and contact a few of their clients by e-mail. Hiring an outside firm takes a great deal of responsibilty off the district hands. The going rate is about $70-100 per hour for a pro designer, or about $10,000 to $15,000 for a site consisting of 100 pages. If you hire an in-house person, make sure he or she is highly motivated. Most teachers or subordinates that are hired for such projects will fizzle out in a couple of months when they see the amount of work it takes. Gauge potential success by success in the classroom. We find that highly-skilled teachers would be good at what ever job they choose. You can also consider hiring a web firm to kick off the project and then just hire an in-house person to maintain and update the site.
