We recommend you review all the plans, then select the one that suits your needs today, you may change your plan at any time. The Basic Plan should provide adequate resources for most small organizations but the Extra and Advanced plans are always an option. For smaller associations, we have a special Starter Plan for you. The cost is $100 per year (plus the initial one-time cost of the template you select), see the details below.

Your Web site may be a simple one- or two-pager identifying the basics: name, location, meeting dates, times and places, Officers and contacts. You may add different resources as your needs grow by changing plans or adding available options for your plan (add on features subject to change): 

updateable calendar email forwarding email mailboxes secure member area updateable online member directory

secure member forum BLOG updateable Web pages photo album pages (sample here)

Plan rates and options are subject to change at any time but your plan will not change during your current term. Each page in your plan will have a navigation link in your Menu. All setup fees and plans require pre-payment, choose either a 6-month payment or 1 year (one month free with 1 year payment). Note: the Starter Plan requires full payment in advance, no discount.

1 - additional Setup fees cover the configuration of optional features you select and the additional monthly charge. For example, to add a member Forum to the Advanced Plan, the Setup fee would be $75 plus $3 per month. The fee paid should total the setup cost and the monthly fee for the remainder of your current annual contract. NOTE: additional Setup fees do not apply to features that are included in your plan when initially setup. Setup fees will apply if added at a later date.

2 - the Setup fee covers any configuration of features included in the plan and the entering of your initial data. Your initial data must be supplied in electronic form (a Word document where text may be copied, email e.g. or digital images for logos or pictures), Faxes are not accepted. Each plan requires you to select a template for your Web site; this one-time up-front additional cost is typically $20 - $50. You will retain ownership of this template if you move your Web site to another provider or we will reimburse you and retain ownership if you choose.

3 - the special pricing for this plan is $100 per year, no setup fee, no monthly charges apply. There is no 1‑hour update allowance for this plan, any requested changes would be charged $25 per hour with the exception of annual Officer and Committee updates for which there is no charge.

4 - all plans require payment in advance (6 months or 1 year). If our services are ended by either party, any full months remaining will be refunded. Setup fees are not refundable once the site has been established on the Internet.

5 - Pages are files on your site that are linked from your navigation Menu. For example, a site with the Starter Plan might have Home Page, Meetings and Contact Us pages. Each content set (contacts, home, meetings e.g. ) must reside on its own page.

---

Each plan (except the Starter Plan) includes 1 hour of time each month for us to update your Web site based on information you send us. This would include such things as publishing your newsletter, changing an Officer or Committee member during the membership year, updating a meeting or special event schedule, etc.. The hours do not accumulate and additional hours are billed at $25 per hour or fraction thereof. A one-time exception is made each year for updates to your organization's membership year change of Officers and Committee Chairpersons. There is no charge for this annual update and it does not use your 1 hour allotment for that month.

Your request for updates to the Web site will normally be processed within 1 business day. Emergency requests will be expedited, typically processed within 1‑2 business hours.

Accordion Page - our Associations page is an accordion page, this effect can add some pizazz to a page. They're useful for grouping similar content as we did without having an extremely long page that's difficult to navigate. Fold navigation is much faster than loading separate pages. Each fold is like a separate page and has an additional monthly cost plus an initial setup cost for the page. If you added 3 folds to a page, the cost would be $25 setup plus $3 per month. If you added a 4th fold later, there would be no setup fee, just another $1 per month. The effect options are: the page opens with all folds closed or with one fold open (selected or random) each fold closes when opening another or each fold stays open fold open animation may be displayed instantly, a fade or with a glide (normal or slow)

Auto Responder – when turned on for a mailbox, a pre-defined message would be immediately returned to the sender acknowledging receipt of the email and an appropriate message (“Thanks for your interest in our golf tournament, the tournament coordinator will review your message soon.”). This feature only works with mailboxes, not forwarding (alias) addresses.

Mail Forward – mail that arrives on the mail server is not stored, it’s automatically forwarded to another email address. It's sometimes called an alias address.

Mailbox – an email storage space on a mail server where incoming mail is deposited until retrieved by a mail client (Outlook e.g.).  Mailbox mail may be auto-forwarded, accessed in any Browser on the Web, and may also be setup with an auto-responder.

Member Directory – the private Member Area of your Web could contain a page listing all members and their contact information.  Your Membership Chair can update this database-driven page by logging in to a special Admin page with a userid and password.  Any changes to the DB would be immediately visible.  The data in this database can be extracted into a file (spreadsheet e.g.) and sent to you on request.  Using this setup, an up-to-date membership database could be easily maintained on the Web for everyone.  When you want to send out a personal letter to members using mail merge we can send you the updated list as a file.

Private Area - this area of your Web is like a sub-Web, it contains different information than in your public Web, usually personal (member directory e.g.) or confidential (Treasurer's report e.g.). A userid and password (that changes each year) would be required to access this area. A Private Area is included in the Advanced Plan and optional in the Extra Plan.

SPAM Identify – with this email server feature turned on, all email is scanned for telltale signs of SPAM and the Subject line is modified to indicate [SPAM – score] to alert the recipient.  The higher the score, the more likely it is SPAM. This feature only works with mailboxes, not forwarding (alias) addresses.

SPAM Trap - this feature works on mailboxes only. Any email received in this mailbox will receive an automated challenge email requiring the email sender to reply. Many ISPs today use this type challenge/response mechanism to preclude all email entering your Inbox until a real person has responded to the challenge. Since almost all SPAM email has invalid email addresses, virtually no SPAM will be received. Valid email addresses may be pre-loaded so your current contacts will not be challenged. Those responding to the challenge will only have to do this once. To see it in action, send an email to this address (note, we do not read any of this email and clear it out daily.

Tab in Page - this page you're viewing has 2 Tabs from which you can select, much like a set of manila folders. A Tab in a page loads faster than a separate page. Each Tab is like a separate page and has an additional monthly cost plus an initial setup cost for the page. If you added 2 Tabs to one of your pages, you would pay the $25 setup fee plus $2 extra per month. If you later added another Tab to the same page, you would only pay the extra $1 per month, no additional setup fee.

Updateable Page – this is a Web page where the text displayed resides in a database and is retrieved when the Browser opens the page.  You may want one or two of these pages in the Public area for current events, meeting data, announcements, etc.  As with the Member Directory, a designated member of your organization would log into an Admin page with a userid and password to make changes that would be immediately viewable in any Browser.
