Questions About Site Rentals

How does web site Short Term Rental Site work?

In simple terms, Connecting Folks will develop and implement a site for you and keep it live for an agreed length of time.

How much does it cost?

Short-term sites are rented for three continuous calendar months at a time and cost $25 per 3-month period. They can include up to 5 pages and a reasonable number (10-15) photos, documents, linksm and maps.

Exclusive sites are rented for six months at a time and cost $100 per 6 month period.  They can include up to 15 pages, 25 photos, 15 documents, and maps.

The one-time charges for site set up are $25 for Short-Term sites and $100 for Exclusive sites. This charge includes the cost of researching and registering a domain name - domain name transfers are $15 more.

What's a domain name?

That's the site name that people will enter into their browser's address bar to view you site. It's often thought of as the "www" address. Example: like, www.yourdomainname.com.

What domain name can I use?

Any domain name that is available for registration. Connecting Folks will do the research for you and give you several from which to choose.

How long can I rent the site?

As long as you want with a minimum of three months. At some point, of course, it would make more economic sense to have a permanent site. We can help you do the math.

How does my information get on the site?

We put it on for you - as well as pictures and/or graphics. You send it to us via email and we process it and add it to your site.

Can the information be changed once it is on the site?

Yes, within reason. Obviously, this is a low margin business. A few changes during the term of our agreement are fine. If you want to make lots of changes, we will be happy to quote for that separately on a time and materials basis.

Are there limitations on the size of the short term sites?

Yes, but we believe you will find them very reasonable. Each short-term site can have a home page plus 4 additional pages with up to 15 photos or graphics. Additional pages can be added for a one-time fee of $10 per page and each additional page increases the limit by 2 photos. See! Plenty.

Can I have a different color scheme and page header graphic?

Yes, on the "Exclusive" rental. Briefly, the site has to be rented for a minimum of six months and the set up fee changes because of the additional complexity. Contact us and we'll be happy to explain the details.

OK, sounds interesting. Where can I review the fine print?

There's no fine print. You simply contact us, tell us what you want and for how long - we'll take it from there.
