A STARTER WIKI

For $2,700, we can give you a starter wiki, hosted on a server that has the special software stack, support, and patches a wiki requires, shows your logo, a photo you provide, a color you give us or show us, and contains some ordered starting points (page titles and menu items that you give us).

We're excited about this breakthrough and want you to save money and time with a wiki. Try it. You'll love it. Just click here: we want a wiki.

How long we take and our total charges vary greatly—depending on what you want us to do to the wiki beyond what we offer for a starter wiki, above. (See list of offerings and services, below.) 

OFFERINGS, SERVICES BEYOND A STARTER WIKI

After they get access to their starter wiki, our clients often want additional services (below). Once we know the extent of the work required, we’re happy to give you a fixed bid for whatever you might need from this menu.

• Project Management Document. Includes requirements assessment, vendor selection (programmers, system administrators, designers, user interface architects), liaison between client and vendors, scheduling, billing, vendor payments. Priced in for a starter wiki.

• Project Definition Document. A step we highly recommend to ensure future success. Specifies the goals of the wiki, defines targets for it, the scope of the wiki, boundaries for it, and explains the economical, operational, and technical feasibility of proposed solutions. We use the project definition as a reference to keep the project on track.

• User Requirements Definition Document. Another step we highly recommend to ensure future success. Defines all tasks your users want to accomplish on the wiki, their needs, functional requirements and workflow. Ideally, we engage one of your customers to define definite requirements (optional).

• Obtaining an ideal, available URL for your wiki Web site.

• Hosting the wiki on a server. We recommend using one of our vendor partners, who provide secure, wiki-supported hosting. Priced in for a starter wiki.

• Skinning and theming the wiki with your logo, colors, branding. Priced in for a starter wiki.

• Putting your ordered starting points, top menu items on the wiki. With input from you, write short, clear labels for sections, areas, topics to match workflow. Arrange these page titles and menu items so that users can find what they need quickly (user interface design).

• Setting up roles and permissions for different user logins and passwords you give us.

• Improving your home page and sub page appearance. Assign a designer to take your logo you deliver to us in jpeg files, find high-impact, memorable, professional photos, colors, and banner design to make your organization or company look competent and reliable.

• Copy editing page titles, menu items, text. Our professional editors can correct punctuation, grammar, achieve consistency, brevity, and clarity of text and procedures.

• Migrating content you want onto your wiki.

• Producing a page template for contributors who will add pages of content to this wiki. Wiki evangelists would say, “Keep it free form.’ But even WikiPedia has prearranged sections like See Also, References, External Links.

• Optimizing your wiki site so that it appears on the first page of Google. We know how to achieve this.

• Training, including adding a Wiki Instructions menu item on the wiki.

• Assigning a mentor, editor to ‘garden’ content users add to your wiki and approve any request for a login.

• Testing all levels, all stages of entry, exit.

• Replicating the prototype wiki and customizing it for different cities, counties, architects, or engineers.

• Moving to a Different Platform. Web services requirements sometimes change with an evolving wiki, or clients may decide that they just want to try something else. We have experience with and relationships with several of the top wiki vendors.
