FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to buy DLC Association in the form of Packages I, II or III? No. The packages are just for your convenience. You can choose features a la carte, or you can order 1 of the 3 packages and get a discounted setup price.

If we buy the Level I or II package now, can we upgrade later? Yes, and there's no penalty. To upgrade, you'll only pay the difference in price between the two packages.

What do the hosting charges include? They include serving your web site to the world, offering a back office exclusively for your use, and many other benefits.

Can I use the back office to edit my web site on it's existing server? No. The back office is only able to edit web sites and their content that sit on DLC's servers.

Do I need special software on my PC's hard drive to edit my site? No, the back office software is stored on DLC's server. You access the back office with a regular browser and a password.

Is this compatible with PCs and Macintoshes? Yes. In fact, it'll work on any computer that's Internet-ready.

Is this an ASP product? Yes. Generally speaking, ASP software is served over the net. There's nothing to install on your PC. The advantages of ASP products are lower software prices and always having the latest version of the product. Plus, our product is almost a million lines of code (would run slow on your PC).

Can I change the appearance of my DLC site? Yes. The back office software has many GUI (user interface) preferences, such as background colors and font choices. You can freely edit these preferences anytime.

Is there any incremental charge for edits? No. You can freely use the back office software to edit your web site and it's contents. Unlimited use. We've always known that 'pay per use' here would be a bad idea. It would inhibit your desire to edit your site.

What other charges can I expect? Very few. After your web site is setup, you'll be able to make most of the changes to your site yourself. If a new logo needs to be changed or a new picture needs to be uploaded, we'll do this for free. However, if you'd like to add new features or a custom feature to your site, then some billing might be needed.

Is the back office software a WYSIWYG editor? No. It's like a word processor. You can easily type and edit paragraphs of information, which will appear on a certain page at your public web site. You can also edit fields of information and save the record into a database, which will appear in a listing on a web page at your public site.

Why can't it be WYSIWYG? We design DLC products to be user-friendly and bullet-proof. In other words, you won't need any training to start using the back office, and the back office software won't bomb your computer. On the other hand, WYSIWYG products look cool but bring a lot of baggage with them. We know a lot of people who've given up on FrontPage, because it's complicated and bombs frequently.

What software is this created with? DLC Association is a template, created with DLC Extranet, our general-purpose web content manager and database manager. It's a package that's three years old and has thousands of users. It's rock-solid.

Why are DLC Extranet products (what DLC Association is based on) more expensive? It's true. They cost $5,000+ and host for $100+ a month. DLC Association is less expensive, primarily because DLC donates the software and reduces the monthly costs for professional associations and non-profits.
