Averting The Rising Cost Of Making Web Sites
Like a Chinese proverb, there is opportunity in every crisis. And with the recession hitting the Internet porn industry hard, everyone's looking for the next best thing. "The best thing" in question could easily be about finding lucrative new niches or the next hot model, but on a less glamorous front, it may be as important as reducing costs.
In recent years, webmasters have seen and felt the rise of one's overhead. According to a personal study made by Adult Digital Solutions Inc., operational liabilities have risen by 30% from last year's 12%. And it looks like it is steadily and willfully rising. Costs like hosting and updating content were not as cheap as before. Not just for the work done to produce content, but so is the maintenance of their websites. Things pile up so easily that the components webmasters take for granted now suddenly cost a pretty penny. This is most inherent with content management software (CMS).
Let us consider start-up costs. Please note that all these quotes are estimates but are close to what is used in the industry.
To purchase a typical content management software, the price tag would run from $50 to $150 per month or $5000 to $6000 for a single server license. It may have all the basics but it needs modifications to comply with your specs. Other CMS systems can run from $500 to $600 to purchase while others are free. However, they still need to be fully modified. Most are also not considered CMS systems for Adult sites. Joomla is a good example of this.
An increase of cost also depends on how many sites that will be created. As everyone knows, each software is assigned one license and is limited only to a number of servers. To install the CMS to the server costs $60 per hour at about 2-3 hours or more. A CMS License to use the software goes from $50-$150 per month or more. Other fancier ones run the gamut of $500-$600.
What's more, all these software employ largely complex technology that may also require third party applications to run. ElevatedX, for example, is a popular CMS which you can lease for $150.00 per month or purchase for over $4000 to $5000. The software needs to be manually installed along with many other applications on your server. The servicing part is another cost that you need to factor in. Sometimes, the technicians may not offer a fully working installation. That's another additional cost of $300 to $1000. On the first phase alone, you may need to cough up at least $1000 to $7000 on the first month for one long tedious process.
Now, even if one has such beautiful content, the site is useless without decent web hosting. A learned webmasters would prefer the seemingly efficient dedicated hosting. That would easily run up to $50 to $150 a month per site. Add that to overhead.
Another factor is customization. It is an important aspect of one's marketability in cyberspace. Also, how user-friendly and attractive your site is determines how much profit you can expect to gain. There is another host of expenditures here. A web designer can customize the look of the site for $500-$1500. The design is then given to the developer to insert your customized design for $300 - $2000 depending on the CMS. Expect to dole out as much as $3500 per project to turn your dreams to reality.
Billing is also another vital part of your business. It is the channel where the website owner, the surfer and his money meet. Without decent billing integration, earning a cent out of your beautiful website may be impossible. Some billers can do it for you at cost for $60 per hour or more. Others may require you to do it on your own. You may also have to pay $750 Visa fee if you are using a third party biller. Expect to issue a check worth $1200 for that part of the business.
To state the obvious, creating, placing and marketing a porn site (and stay online) can be a costly venture. Nowadays, one needs to reach into deep pockets to make one's website be as good and running as any other decent working website. But as profits are dwindling and pirate tube sites seriously snatching revenues and traffic, one feels that rising costs are weighing businesses down.
Now, what if there is a new software that simplifies it all? A software that completely streamlines productivity, making web production simpler and easier to manage. More importantly, what if there's a new CMS that can reduce web production expenditure to a mere 10%?
This relatively new CMS offers a fixed amount that helps control costs. Its price tag is only $249 for single domain and $449 for unlimited domains. Customers avail of free installation (or they can easily install it themselves for less than three minutes) and free
troubleshooting services.
Since the software works with Wordpress, you can choose millions of themes from the Wordpress library and then have it modified for $300 to $600, which incidentally includes installing the CMS system. You can opt for shared hosting for as low as $10 per month.
There are no more billing integration fees. You have free billing support to billers with no added setup cost. It even helps webmasters avoid video piracy. Here's a software that could save you money on the dotted line. Because everything is done all under $1000. And it is created by the team of experts in Adult Digital Solutions.
The software was launched just over one year ago as we have sold over 200 licenses so far!
AdultSiteCMS 2.0 is here and it takes you back to a world where costs are never counted. Take a closer look at the next best thing.
