How much does it cost?
There are two basic costs: set-up and hosting.
Set-Up: $150.00
Hosting for three months: $150.00
Discounts:
- If a Chapter signs and pays for a one-year agreement, the Chapter will receive a $ 50.00 discount.
- For multiple year agreements, the $ 50.00 discount would apply per year of the agreement. (No more than five-year agreements will be created because of changing technology.)
What services does the Chapter receive for the one-time set-up cost?
For the one-time set-up cost, the Chapter will receive (1) all content moved to the template Web site, (2) the programming of the content management software SiteViz that can be used by multiple chapter members from any location where there is Internet access, (3) a professional designed Web site similar to the parent organization, (4) staff assistance to train one individual about how to use the SiteViz management software.

What in-kind donation is the international SWCS applying to the conversion or creation of each of the Chapter’s Web site that sign-up with hosting through headquarters?
SWCS’ international headquarters will be paying for the set-up fee of $ 80.00 per chapter for using the content management software called SiteViz. SWCS headquarters staff is also offering to convert or build the initial site using SiteViz and will provide training at the start-up of the agreement.
