Who does PageSuite use to host publications?

Can I host the publication myself?

  • No, PageSuite host all publications. The reasons for this are so we can keep our costs down and service levels up. We do not allow the risk of external factors to degrade our service.

How much will it all cost?

  • Costs depend on specific requirements. Competitive prices can be quoted per page or per publication depending on the number and frequency of editions, whilst we offer group deals for large publishers. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

How will readers access my digital editions?

  • As the publisher, it’s entirely up to you. You may choose to put a direct link on your website, or to feature a link in the ‘members only’ part of your website.
  • You can also send the link out via email. A great advantage of this is that the email does not contain anything that spam control software may mistake as spam.
  • You can burn all PageSuite Professional files onto a CD to send out. An internet connection is not needed to view on a CD.

Will readers be expected to pay for access?

  • As the publisher, this is entirely up to you. You may wish to allow your readers free access to all parts of the online publication, or you may require them to pre-pay before accessing anything. There is a range of options which we would be happy to discuss with you.

What about reading a publication offline?

  • This is up to the publisher. You can choose to allow extracts to be created in PDF format and stored locally for offline reading.
  • Another option is to create a CD for physical distribution as mentioned earlier.
