You might be thinking, How hard can it be to make my own web site? We heard about a professional association who decided to make their own site. They put out an RFP. They hired a computer consultant. The consultant designed and developed a web site whose features were very similar to DLC Association (they hadn't heard about DLC yet). The result? Their consultant required 3 months and $15,000. When completed, they had a custom-designed web site that met all their feature requirements, but it was expensive, untested software and had no guarantees. So, here's the "make or buy" analysis:
The answer is clear. DLC Association is less expensive, better tested, and 100% guaranteed. Furthermore, it takes only 2 weeks to implement. Let your organization's officers, staff, and volunteers be more productive with their time. Let's proceed to the FAQ. You can also jump to the inquiry page or, if you have time, you can read the rest of this page. We've also compiled a cost comparison, which compares the cost of employing a webmaster, the cost of outsourcing your web work to a programmer, and the cost of DLC Association. The results are shocking. 
You can see here that a webmaster (working at 25% utilization) costs nearly $15,000 a year, outsourcing comes to about $10,000 a year, but DLC Association keeps costs very low. The savings are large, because paying a webmaster or outsourced programmer has a significant hourly rate attached. However, using DLC Association, your association's officers and staff can easily learn how to update your own web pages and live databases. Once you learn how, you'll be hooked. No one will charge you by the hour again.If you don't believe it, open this Excel file and see the proof (click the browser's Back button to return here). If it doesn't open, save this Zip file on your desktop, which encloses the Excel file. We've also studied the work involved in making ordinary changes to a web site. This is similar to a "time and motion" study. Specifically, we studied how long it takes to rewrite the contents of web pages, update databases, and move pictures on web pages. 
The results are clear. Working with a webmaster or programmer, it takes a lot longer to accomplish these things than if you were using DLC Association. Look at this scatter-chart. Each dot represents the length of time to complete a task. Blue diamonds are tasks relating to a webmaster or programmer, and green circles are tasks relating to DLC Association. By showing you these delays, we're not saying that webmasters and programmers are slow or lazy. They can be top-notch professionals, but they're only human. They can't always start on your projects immediately. They may have questions before starting the work. They may have other priorities. And when they do start on your work, the programming takes time. In any case, it's just human nature. However, with DLC Association, you wait for no one. You can login and begin accessing web pages and records immediately.If you have a couple minutes, open this Excel file and see the data for yourself (click the browser's Back button to return here). If it doesn't open, save this Zip file on your desktop, which encloses the Excel file. Even organizations with sophisticated web sites are looking at DLC Association as a solution. Why? Either they're paying programmers a lot of money, or they're relying on volunteers, who have busy schedules and often have to choose between their daytime jobs and web site changes. Let DLC Association reduce your costs and turn-around times. It's a simple choice. Proceed to the FAQ or jump to the inquiry page. |
