We primarily use off-site hosting for administering most of our sites. This allows us to guarantee 99.99% uptime, as we can defer equipment, bandwidth, and power costs to a dedicated third party company. We have a partnership with 1and1 web hosting, which allows us to effectively manage multiple websites with a single log-in.
We also use 1and1 template websites, which can be completed in a matter of minutes, yet still customized with your own pictures, clipart, tables, and links. If you are looking for a more advanced, interactive website with options for collaboration and multiple accounts, we also offer sites based on CMS's (content management systems) like Joomla and Drupal. These provide a richer experience for organizations needing multiple connections from employees or volunteers to change or update data, and provide connections to MySQL databases. If neither of these options are suitable for what you have in mind for your website, then we would recommend having a professional design your site. We can provide referrals to local web design firms, or bring on one of our own associates to complete your project. This last scenario is the most time intensive, and is bound to have the highest price tag, but is much more customizable than any template or system.
