Hi Hun
glad ya like it. The important thing Steve wanted was an easy system for the rescues to upload the cats, for them to have full control of the backend so not relying on web designer to update at all (as this costs more!) , easy to do themselves.
He is thinking of different costings for what a rescue might require (not sure of costings at mo for all options as this is a new idea of Steves)
ie for example
1 - just the basic full system where it will be a standard cat theme and the rescue simply pops their rescue name on the top and adds a logo if they have one. They then would get help setting up if they need it (set up on their server and initial help/ instructions) and they are on their own from there. This would be the cheapest prob at £99 one off fee (special rescue price). (The full front end and admin backend/ ecommerce websites normally cost between £500 - £2000 )
2 -They could have the basic site as above plus hosting at £99 plus a year hosting at £25
3- Or The basic site with own designed theme plus hosting or not. £99 plus theme / logo design
4 - basic plus own design and extra a module design if they want something extra ie (maybe a drill down map to search cats in specific areas if they cover various areas)
5 -any of the above with annual support added
so different tiers of cost depending what they want but still only a one off cost for the site and hosting annually of they want that.
Steve is very good at development with php and can make a new module for most things
He did the extra modules for the Purrs shop ie like the estimated shipping module that show the cost for shipping every time you add or take something away from the cart
Wait till ya see the new Cat Chat rescue section for the rescue pages where they post their cats
he has done all of that and is developing more for cat chat
hopefully phase one will be going live on cat chat very soon
What i said to Steve was that rescues need a simple system as time is very precious and one that is easy to view / navigate for the visitor and the cats are shown well also at a good base one off cost.
Do you think the base cost incl set up help is a good price at £99?
Lol Ron's site as they are a Purrs registered rescue was donated and hosted by us at no charge as Paws Inn site is also hosted by us. I am very willing for the independent rescues on Purrs to have the same if they would like it.
