Customer Profile: Utah Chukars

The Utah Chukar Foundation needed a website that they could easily update themselves.  They used our Content Management System (CMS) to build www.UtahChukars.com

How much does our content management system cost?

Most web designers charge you four fees:
  1. Domain name registration (i.e. yourcompany.com) which is typically $10 to $15/year.
  2. Design fee, which involves designing your webpage – typically $75 to $175 per page.
  3. Hosting fee, which is like paying rent on the internet for your website – it pays for the server.
  4. Future updates - any new content, for example a new picture will cost $50 to $100/hour.
OUR model is different.

We don’t charge for adding new content.  Why?  Because our content management system allows you to update the website yourself.  You SIMPLY pay for the content management system, domain name, and hosting.

Our content management system is $350.  Our domain name registration is $15/year.  Our hosting is $15/month via credit card or $120/year if you pay for the year in advance.   Basically, you can have a new website for an entire year for $485, and renew each year for $120.
