ColdFusion Serving

Boreal has a ColdFusion server available. This allows you to create dynamic web pages by adding special ColdFusion tags to your pages. Dynamic pages allow you to change the way your page is displayed based on information a visitor gives you via an online form or information stored in a database. Some examples of things you can do with ColdFusion are:

• Create an Online Shopping Cart. (NOTE: Boreal has ColdFusion shopping cart software available - see below.)
• Create an Online Guestbook.
• Change the pictures or information displayed on your page based on information a visitor gives you on a form.
• Load your reservations database to the server and create an online reservations system.
• Set up a system where you can change the text and pictures on your website simply by filling out a form.
   

Charges for ColdFusion are as follows:

• Cold Fusion serving, including an online database - $10/month
• Cold Fusion programming - adding ColdFusion functions to your page to make it dynamic - $50/hour of programming time required
  NOTE: Extra charges may apply for a very large database.

E-Newsletter System

To see an example, click here.

Boreal offers an e-newsletter service allowing you to send formatted newsletters, including colored text, pictures, and links, to a list of email addresses. A simple form, which looks like MS Word, is used to create your newsletter.

You can collect email addresses for the list via a form on your website, and can differentiate between people who are interested in different types of information (ex. winter activities vs. summer activities).

Please note: Boreal has a strict anti-spamming policy. All recipients of newsletters must have voluntarily signed up to receive the newsletters, and must be able to easily unsubscribe from newsletters. Newsletters generated by our system automatically include a link with instructions for unsubscribing.

• One-time setup fee with a one-year purchase, including basic instructions: $50.00
• Additional training or complex configuration setup: $50.00/hour
• One newsletter per month, sent to 5,000 or fewer recipients: $14.95/month
• Two to three newsletters per month, sent to 5,000 or fewer recipients: $19.95/month

• Two to three newsletters per month, sent to 10,000-20,000 recipients: $39.95/month
• Additional newsletters in a month: $5.00 per newsletter per 5,000 recipients

Shopping Cart

Boreal offers a ColdFusion-based shopping cart application. This application lets you maintain an online catalog, including pictures, prices, and text, simply by filling out an online form. It includes a shopping cart and checkout system. When a customer completes an order, you receive an email message with the order details and payment information.

For an example of a standard shopping cart application, visit www.sawtoothmtnsleds.com or www.devilstracknordic.com/shop. For an example of a customized cart, see www.sivertson.com.

Please note that this application does use the ColdFusion and secure servers, so everyone using the shopping cart software will be charged the monthly fees for the ColdFusion and secure servers as shown above.

You must also obtain explicit permission from Boreal in order to copy or modify any of the shopping cart software, files or databases.
 

Computer Repair

Boreal provides basic computer repair services. These services include everything from system troubleshooting to replacing and installing hardware and software to virus and spyware removal. When you bring your computer in for repair, you usually only need to bring in your tower - that is you don't need to bring in cords, the monitor, the keyboard or mouse. However, it is a good idea to bring in any CDs or diskettes that came with the computer.

Sorry, but we can't come to your place to work on your computer - you must bring it to the Boreal office for service. It isn't necessary to make an appointment.

• Computer repair is $65/hour for members and $85/hour for non-members.

Website Development

Boreal Access now offers website development services.  We can create a website for you based on your specifications, including dynamic programming in ColdFusion or PHP, and can also make changes or updates to your existing site.  Dynamic programming includes, but is not limited to, creating an administrative interface which allows you to make changes to specified areas of text on your site. 

Note that we require provide coding, but not design services.  If you do not have a website design or a website designer, we will contract with Katherine Hellner to create the design for your site.  Katherine charges separately for her design services, so her charges will be over and above the charges for coding your site.

• Boreal charges $65/hour for website development and coding
