Community Websites

You've got a message. Maybe you've got ten thousand messages. And somewhere there's a group of people who need to hear it. Down the street, around the world. Possibly both.

They're depending on your site for information, for help, for work. Or maybe just for the fun of it. And maybe they've got just as much to say as you do.

Let's get all these people together in one place: your website. We'll build the perfect place for your group to gather. News, forums, blogs, galleries, tools to help people work together. All managed by you, so changes happen right when you need them. Give us a ring. We'll get the gang all together.

It's the definition of "Web 2.0" - a community coming together online, where a website is a gathering place, a place to share, rather than just a one-way source of information. Your community might be just you and a couple of colleagues who need to collaborate on a project, or it could be 10,000 members of your organization who all have something to contribute.

Community websites that we build often include:

• Blogs
• Forums
• Collaborative authoring functionality
• Image galleries
• Podcasts and videocasts - for corporate messaging or posted by all community members
• Managed calendars
• "Members Only" sections that keep sensitive internal information separate from public content

Every client we have is different, and so every project we undertake is different. In order to get the most of out our clients' budgets, we leverage open-source programming when appropriate, and mix in our own expert custom development. And of course, each website has unique design needs, from the very simple to the very complex.

When putting together a community website, there's a wide spectrum of functionality at your disposal, from blogs and forums to calendars and webcasts. We've put together this brief pricing guide to give you a rough idea of what to expect when estimating your project budget.
