•  CC Domain Names

Catholic Communications can also manage all of your domain name requirements. We can register a new domain name or renew your existing domain name. Domain names have never been cheaper, and it makes sense to register domains that either capture the nawme of your particular agency or ministry, or the name of one of the activities that you undertake.

For example, Catholic Communications has registered cathcomm.org and cathcomm.org.au for our website, as well as aquietplace.info for one of the services that we provide, namely the national retreat centre database & website.

Prices are as follows (many commercial companies charge up to 4 times these prices and in some cases, 28 times as much):

• CC Design & Management

Catholic Communications has considerable experience and expertise in designing and maintaining websites. In addition to all your paper-based design needs, we can also create and design for you an attractive and functional website that will complement your existing image and design – or we can work together to create a new look and feel for all of your communications – both printed and electronic. We can also build a comprehensive Content Management System to automatically manage the information presented on your website. Our hourly rates are very competitive, and are well below the industry standard. We can meet with you to discuss your needs and requirements and provide a comprehensive and highly competitive quotation specifically tailored to your exact specifications. We can also maintain and manage your website on an on-going basis.

• As a Church-funded Catholic agency, Catholic Communications understands the nature of your mission – and the reality of operating within a tight budget.

•  Price Comparisons

Don't just take our word for it – look at this sample of prices for Website hosting provided by some of the other hosting providers in Australia (as at 3 January 2007).
