ROI (Return on Investment)

Let's evaluate your Return on Investment if you use the WineWeb as your entire Web presence (Order Processing and Website Hosting), across varying sales levels. The ROI is your margin less the fee percentage.

Comparison of Hosting Costs

We sometimes are asked "Why should I pay $60/month for website hosting when I found a hosting company for $10/month?"

Our response: That's not a valid comparison as website hosting is only one part of our service. Yes, you can get space on a web server for $10/month (or less). You might even get some email accounts and a generic content management system.

But what about:

• A wine merchant-specific content management system
• Extra functionality specific to wine merchants
• Software maintenance and continual enhancements
• Technical services to revise content
• Technical services to maintain servers and software
• Staff time to keep current on regulatory changes
• Staff time in dealing with service provider(s) to troubleshoot issues
• Maintainence of backups for data & software
• Fanatical customer service from people who understand wine & technology
