Packages
We want to keep it simple, but still make sure there is a package that works for you. If nothing seems quite right, tell us what you need and we'll see what we can do.
Packages Overview
Your ongoing monthly costs will also depend on the options that best fit your needs. Take a look at the chart below for an overview cost comparison of our packages.
Subscription Packages
Also take a look at our Setup & Maintenance Cost Comparison page to see how our packages compare with each other and with an independent, built-from-scratch site, over a 5-year period.
If you don't want to pay a penny, the Free Lite version is what you are looking for. See our
Free Lite page for more details about exactly what's included.
This is the general package we recommend for most businesses, realtors, etc. It is used as the starting point for other specialty packages and upgrades. It includes a standard Gutensite, with hosting, email accounts, and customer support, plus extra functionality including: Account, Article, Blogging, Calendar, Client, Community, Customer, FAQ, Map, Multimedia, News, Podcasting, Portfolio, Profile, Project, Resource Library, RSS, Searching, SEO, Slideshow, and Team oriented features. It includes other industry specific, niche features depending on your site emphasis, e.g. Realtors have access to functionality for showcasing properties, service directories, community profiles, mortgage calculators, etc. Additional upgrades are available, e.g. Store $45/mo, Gutenshare Intranet $25/mo, Live Local MLS for Realtors $45/mo, etc. This package allows the use of free templates and custom designs.
This is a package designed specifically with non-profits in mind. We wanted to offer as much as possible for the best price as our way of supporting the great work that non-profits do in our society. It is identical to the Professional package, i.e. it includes a standard Gutensite, with hosting, email accounts, and customer support, plus extra functionality including: Account, Article, Blogging, Calendar, Client, Community, Customer, FAQ, Map, Multimedia, News, Podcasting, Portfolio, Profile, Project, Resource Library, RSS, Searching, SEO, Slideshow, and Team oriented features. But in addition it includes most of our extra upgrades for free: donations module, Gutenshare Intranet, etc. Additional paid upgrades are available for things like the Store.
This is nearly identical to the Professional package, except you're on your own. It does not include our standard full service support, i.e. no Gutensite CMS training, no unlimited CMS related support, no hand holding, no consulting, etc. It does include support for reporting CMS bugs and basic issues with hosting and email. Basically it's for geeks that want everything but think support is for sissies and prefer to figure things out on their own or find help on the forums. This is a nice option for companies that have their own onsite technical staff that can offer support internally.
This is a streamlined version for free lite clients that need the advantages of private hosting (domain and email), but don't want to pay for everything that comes with a full service Professional site. It is similar to the Webmaster package, except it does not include custom designs, and is limited to 5 email accounts. This is intended to help bloggers or families get into a Gutensite without breaking the bank, but it is not recommended for professional businesses or organizations.
