#9 June 1: Pricing research, market comparison – 30 minutes

I am still in the process of looking through pricing for websites and research on projects similar to what the ICC wants to do. You will notice that I spent just 30 minutes on that this evening. I like to take my time on these things as I am able to for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, I am a busy individual. Not only am I handling this particular initiative, but I still have my full-time job and a class that I am in the middle of, so it is a matter of not overextending myself. The second is that a decision of this nature requires a thorough examination of what is available and whether it can do what we want it to, as I have explained in a previous post. So I want to make sure that no stone is unturned in our search for the best hosting provider.

All that being said, this is something that we want to act fairly quickly on. I am mindful that the window of opportunity can close at any moment. One of the takeaways from this pandemic is that nothing lasts forever, so we must remain alert and respond accordingly. I expect to be finished with this by week’s end. It’s not likely much will change by then but at this point, who really knows?

I have said on several occasions that I do not consider myself to be an expert at website building, but I have to admit that through maintaining this site and looking at options for the ICC, I am learning a little bit more about the process every day. I’ve also mentioned that it is good to have this sort of knowledge because you never know when it will come in handy for you.
