Approximate costs
November 04, 2008, 05:26:54 am
Hi,

I am just looking into CiviCRM at the moment and was hoping to get a very general idea of how much it might cost to hire someone to set it all up. We have an existing Joomla website that we would want it to work with. Our staff would probably be responsible for populating the content so I'm not looking for migration of info, although there would probably be some customization needed to suit our organisation.

I know that's pretty vague but if anyone has gone down this route and could offer a ball park figure that would really help me make my pitch for CiviCRM.

Thanks for any responses!

Denver Dave

Cost of CiviCRM is an interesting question.  You might also wish to review and or post in the Professional Services Section.

I've wondered the same thing.  The software is free, but installation, ongoing maintenance and operations (users) takes considerable time.  I'm not sure how the requirements compare with other (for fee packages).

I suggest you build in something into your budget for ongoing maintenance.

Please let me know how you make out.

You would probably want to state the version of Joomla (1.5.7 or 1.5.8) and if you're using the latest CiviCRM installation. I tried to install CiviCRM about 2 months ago on several ocassions and was unable to get it installed. With the new release, I was successful.

I'm using version Joomla 1.5.7 and CiviCRM 2.1.2. It installed with no problems.  Make sure you using Apache 2 and above and PHP 5 and above. Also, who's your hosting company? Is it shared hosting? If so who is the hosting provider. You will have to make sure that someone is able to change the setting in the php.ini file.
