After you read through the following options, please do not hesitate to contact us asap to discuss your specific requirements.
Advanced Features and Customization
In the coming months we will be working on a set of more advanced features that will be available on a subscription basis. The subscription rate(s) and priority of the todo list will depend partly on the results of an upcoming user survey. Subscribers will be empowered to submit their own feature requests and also cast votes which will be used to determine the ongoing todo priority.
We can also customize to meet your specific needs at very reasonable rates. The bottom line here is if you're funding it, your priority becomes our priority. And this approach actually saves you money because - as we know from experience - creating your own dynamic bracketing solution in-house is a very long and costly project. PLUS, if your customization request is non-exclusive (i.e. can be shared by other BM users), we will give you a free subscription equivalent to the development cost.
VirtualBrackets™
With our VirtualBrackets™ feature you can display brackets or provide our bracket-making technology
to your users (and/or employees) as though it is on your own website.
The software still runs on our servers,
but you can create a virtual domain such as brackets.yoursite.com,
or we can create a yoursite.bracketmaker.com subdomain.
Either way, your brackets will fit in with the rest of your website's look and feel.
For example, you could have your logo displayed at the top instead of ours,
your own navigation links if you like, etc.
It's all done via HTML, which you can provide yourself
or we can take care of that in exchange for a reasonable design fee.
If you would like to see a real-life example of how this works, click on the following link:
http://brackets.ihigh.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=10378&tclass=4%2DA
By all appearances this page is part of iHigh's network of websites, but it is actually generated by BracketMaker.com.
There is a one-time $200 setup fee, and then a recurring fee of $25 per month. Or pay $250 yearly in advance (two free months).
We will also accept proposals to display your own advertisements or none at all, but there would be a fee required for that as well to replace our lost revenues in such a case.
Licensing Options
Perhaps you would prefer that your brackets are hosted on your own server.
A simple solution for that could be a feature where you simply click a button
in the bracket edit page to have it automatically upload to your website via ftp.
However, that would eliminate interactive features such as Predict It! contests,
so you may prefer to run our technology on your own database and application servers,
although in this case you may need to purchase and maintain additional hardware and/or software.
Porting to different programming languages and/or DBMS systems is also a possibility.
Of course, we're talking about some rather large projects now,
but if you are willing to cover the development costs, we will seriously consider your proposal.
