Grants and Funding

Many people ask "How can I reduce the cost of developing my website?"
or "Can I get a Grant to fund my website?"

A website from Image Website Design isn't an expensive outlay, and many small businesses will achieve their desired website for less than £500. However grants are available from many different sources for projects ranging from £50 up to £1000 or more, so help could be available.

Not all businesses will be able to obtain a grant, and many businesses will prefer to fund their website without outside funding.

Website grants are available for small and medium sized businesses, which means that you may be eligible for free government financial assistance towards the development or redevelopment of a website.

A grant may be available to cover up to 50% of the cost of a new website or to improve an existing website e.g. by completely redesigning, or by adding e-commerce.

There are several routes available to you if you are seeking a grant for your website. Local authorities in the UK often have small business promotion schemes where funding assistance with websites may be available, and this is always a good place to start. Call your local council office or have a look at their website for more information on who to contact in their grant application process.

The following is a list of bodies where businesses like yours have looked for or found grants and funding in the past. Locations of some of these bodies is diverse, but you may find funding could come from some of the most unlikely sources.
With funding and grants you will only receive what you ask for. If you don't apply for a grant then the funding body will not come to you and offer to pay part of the cost of your new website - however, if you ask then you may find that somewhere there is a small pot of money set aside ready to help you.
Creating a website isn't expensive, but if a grant is available then this can help to deflect the cost - maybe allowing you to spend more on the website, or perhaps it will just be sufficient to allow you to get your website off the ground.

Good luck with your search, and remember that even if you can't find a grant to subsidise the cost Image Website Design will still be able to produce a website for you within your budget !
