I figured I'd try this again. I also think you guys need to make sure you are signed in to participate in this thread so be sure you've done that first.

First of all, Happy New Year, and I hope you all had a good holiday season!

Alright folks, so Chris and I spoke about the need to get our website up and running, and we decided it might be a good opportunity for us to try to get some activity going on here in order to try to get the website settled before we have our next meeting. He and I were looking at different packages from Squarespace. I priced out the domain name through them for $20/year, and either a personal plan for $12/month billed annually, or a business plan billed for $18/month billed annually.

Some questions we will need to answer before proceeding:
-Should we go with Squarespace?
-If so, should we go with the business or personal plan?
-Could we use Squarespace with outside hosting at a lower cost and/or with certain other benefits?
-What other options, if any, can/should we look at?

Once we get some convo here we can create a poll or two to determine some of the answers to these questions and hopefully we can get something decided this week. Once we finish that, it will simply be a matter of asking USAW to purchase it for us through our funds. Brad is checking to see if we can get recurring billing set up.

What are your thoughts?

Interesting. I use G Suite myself but not Squarespace. I'd be interested in learning more specifics on this.

Ok. it looks like the Business package has Google Email. I wonder if we get access to the rest of the features of Gsuit.

Good question. Do you think we have enough info at this point to create a poll on whether we use the Personal or Business package?

If we go with the business account, we do get access to Gsuite. I have a Squarespace site for my club and we use Gsuite along with it. I vote we go with the business account

Alright folks, it looks like our first decision is complete! We will go with a business account through Squarespace.

Let's make this vote official. Are we going to go with a personal or business Squarespace?

I think we seem to be coming to consensus on this, but I figured we make sure to get a sense where everyone is at
