Three Ways for Your Newspaper to Succeed Online

Updated: March 11, 2010 - 12:53pm by Maine Web FX

It’s your website, why are you renting it?

There are many companies that can put your newspaper online, but how many allow you to keep your content? If you are paying a monthly fee for having your newspaper online, then is the content really yours, or does it belong to your web development company?
Maine Web FX charges a one-time development cost for newspapers. Once your website is complete, the site is yours. We do not rent you a website, we build you one.

Check out our cost analysis online or download an information sheet for more information.

Package pricing reflects small to medium-sized markets. Larger, regional and metro papers should contact Maine Web FX for detailed pricing.
