Review
The offer for the broadband services is actually very good! Especially if you take up the 1.5 Mbps, you get 50% off! So that’s awesome.
So the subsidy grants that you can cover 50% of broadband cost, 50% of web hosting cost, and 80% of development cost. In this case, the package has utilised the first 2 (broadband and hosting).
Let’s look at the conditions. In order to qualify, the criterias are:
- You do not already own a website
- Your purchase includes the development of a website or web pages for your business
- You have not claimed under this initiative before
The package does not comply with the 2nd condition yet. However, there is a statement at the bottom of the offer: …website design available at special rate.
The subsidy has a cap of S$1000.00 for each of the first 5,000 SME. Taking up the 1.5 Mbps package means that you will still have just a little over S$500.00 to subsidies from your web development cost. If that makes up 80% of your development cost, you will need to spend at least S$125.00. Add that to the discounted cost of broadband and hosting, and you would be actually forking out about S$700.00.
If you take up the other package…well, perhaps you would not get much of a website, if any.
A decent deal if you require very basic online presence. It’s not clear though whether AceLink Solutions offer the web development package at a price of S$625.00. If they do, you should be able to get a few static pages, maybe a little fancy Flash animation and that’s it.
You should be curious though on what they would be offering after 18 August…
