Web Site Packages from SPIS |
Last updated 14 Mar 1997 |
So you're thinking about your own World Wide Web site, but you're not sure what you need and how much it's going to cost?
No two Web sites are the same, but the ideas and indicative pricing in the examples below will help you plan the best package for your purposes. Email Peter Hyde to talk about what you want, and we'll prepare a detailed plan of what we can do for you.

A single page of text is suitable for an individual or organisation who simply needs to have an on-line presence. This is often sufficient for small-scale or short-term promotion and enrolment activities, especially if the site is listed in the appropriate Web catalogues (optional). For example, this would be a suitable way to make an on-line conference announcement and call for papers and registration, particularly in a specialist field. We can host your page on our own site for a small annual fee. Price: from $200 |
![]() Jo Smith has just graduated with a BSc in Biochemistry -- a simple Web page gives Jo the chance to have an on-line CV that shows potential employers that this is an innovative, computer-aware graduate worth employing. The page has a direct link to Jo's email address for easy contact, as well as a link to a former employer who is acting as a referee. |
This consists of a primary page and three or four subsidiary pages (covering such things as personnel, projects, topics), including a small number of graphics such as company logos or scanned photographs. This is particularly suitable for professional societies and small, specialist businesses who would find a broader audience and greater market in the global electronic sphere. This greater reach can be developed by promoting the site on the Web itself -- we will submit listings to 10-15 of the most suitable catalogues and search engines. A rare book dealer, for example, could be listed using keywords such as books, rare, antiquarian, collectibles, and any specific subject topics, such as history, fine arts, or Antarctic exploration. One update to the information on the site is included in the price, and your pages can optionally be hosted on our own site. Price: from $950 |
![]() The Society for the Preservation of Wetlands uses its Web pages to promote its aims and objectives. The main page introduces the Society, with secondary pages covering wetland preservation activities around the country, a committee contact list (including ordinary mail and email links), and membership subscription information. They've got links through to US and European societies with similar aims, and get requests for information from overseas readers who are planning a visit. |
This is a major site, with 15-20 individual pages -- for example, a primary page and several major sections with subsidiary pages under them. Forms and mail links are provided for reader feedback, subscription or surveying. Files containing further information or other resources can be placed on-line for readers to download. This package provides an excellent source of information and communication for national organisations, magazines, local bodies and special interest groups. The site can be promoted on the Web as for the Presence Package, plus we can offer optional promotion of its special features in the mainstream media. One major and two minor updates are included. Price: from $4,500 |
![]() The Borderlands Regional Council uses its Web pages for a wide range of purposes:
Readers can download copies of the reports, send complaints and comments to various Council departments, and respond to surveys on planned Council activities. |
This is a site designed to sell products or services, usually by providing a catalogue or directory. A typical site will have information which is extracted from a regularly-updated database. It will also have some kind of ordering system, such as a "print and fax this form" feature or full electronic commerce. Larger sites will have strong indexing and search capabilities, meaning that the database itself must be kept on-line. This presents good opportunities for a broad range of businesses, such as real estate companies, travel and tourism services, publishers and anyone already involved in direct mail or long distance sales activities. Strong promotional work will be undertaken, including catalogue and search engine submissions, appropriate promotion on Usenet newsgroups and a search for other sites on the Web with which links can be usefully exchanged. We can also optionally promote the site in the mainstream media. Price: from $6,500 |
![]() As a developer of interactive educational packages, Software Innovators Ltd needs to be on-line to maintain credibility and contacts with the increasing number of clients demanding on-line services. Its Web site has a company profile and a detailed run-down of the services they offer and the packages they support, with links to overseas suppliers and major clients. Their database lists over 2,000 titles covering a range of topics and educational levels, and can be easily searched by users. Common technical problems and new releases have their own pages, and the technical staff have email links for easy communication. The strong presence, support and promotion means that they receive as many international orders as national. |
Your site might not necessarily fit one of the above options -- the best sites are planned from the ground up with your particular requirements (and those of your readers) kept firmly in mind.
We can help you in this planning so that you can achieve a Web presence which is appropriate to your needs and to your budget.
