Subject: [Ql-Users] Websites
The bill for the current 12 months of my website came to ?47.84. I
use a commercial host that many small businesses and organisations
use and I get a good service.
That website that, by universal acclaim, is the best QL website ever
is run more cheaply than I run mine. The host is Tony Firshman and I
understand the owner of the site gets a good service from him.
Last year Quanta spent ?346 on its website, which is more than seven
times what I am paying.
Could someone please explain to me what Quanta is getting for this
money that I am not getting. And why, after spending so much members'
money, the Quanta website, apart from the news section, appears to
have been at a complete still stand for about 18 months,
Best wishes,
Geoff
1. Annual Cost = Fiscal responsibility
1.1 Are they by some reason avoiding a perceived conflict by Not Using
his service?
2. Web Site maintenance = SOMEONE has to pay attention to it. Probably
would be a GOOD place to visit if it had an 'Editor' type that saw to
its timeliness of news and feature updating. NOT just checking to see
that it still works.
2.1 There are free software programs that can aid in revising/editing a
web page IF someone wished to learn how to use it AND had an interest in
doing so. Ergo Degree of commitment??
2.2 Hay, this seems like a 'sit-down' job, how hard would it be to get
someone to do it that is still associated with QUANTA??
(off mini-soapbox now)
