Subject: Re: Touch screen budgets
Charlotte, I feel for you. The way our institutions get projects off the ground means you have to scope and cost to raise budget to get anything to happen. So I’ll put my 4p worth in re budget.
I'd say you should have, as a starter budget, 10k. That is if its the same interface will be used on each kiosk screen. And if the content is both created, ready (ish) to go and will be uploaded at your end. If the agency have to do the content wrangling up to go live (and then you take it off their hands) then 15k.
I agree you can probably use something already out there like Wordpress but you'll need someone to design it up and make it work on site and debug once the users at your end have, er, user tested it putting content in. The advantage of Wordpress and co is that they aren't too hard to edit at your end.
I am guessing you have to tender this one? If not (you might have a 10k cut-off before you have to tender, I don't know) then talk to an agency and say you have 10k and what you want. See what they say? Most sensible agencies will be able to tailor to a budget, deploy crafty shortcuts and so on.
