Bottom Line
Website Setup & Operations
$0
to DRIG
Web Pages Design & Maintenance
$0

Responsibilities at a Glance
Part A — Website Setup & Operations
Provided by JView Lab at no cost to DRIG
| Service | Details | Commercial Value | DRIG Cost |

|---|---|---|---|

Part C — Domain & Email Accounts
Purchased and owned by DRIG — paid directly to providers, no intermediary
| Service | Details | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Domain Registration | disabilityresearchinterestgroup.org — annual renewal, DRIG retains full ownershipCloudflare Registrar offers at-cost pricing (~$9–11/yr for .org) | ~$15–20 / yr |
| Zoho Mail — 2 User Accounts | Professional email at your domain (e.g. admin@..., steering@...); aliases and forwarding includedZoho Mail Lite plan ($12/user/yr). Aliases allow multiple addresses per account. | ~$24–30 / yr |
| Total Annual (DRIG pays) | ~$50 / year | |
Ownership note: DRIG retains full control of the domain registrar account and both Zoho Mail accounts. These assets remain with DRIG regardless of any future changes to contributors. Aliases (e.g. admin@disabilityresearchinterestgroup.org, steering@...) can route to the same 2 accounts at no added cost.
Next Steps
- DRIG purchases the domain and Zoho Mail accounts (2 users) directly — approx. $50/yr.
- DRIG shares domain registrar login and Zoho Mail credentials with JView Lab for initial DNS and email configuration.
- JView Lab completes infrastructure setup: Cloudflare Pages deployment, DNS, contact form routing.
- Seon Shim completes web page design and implementation, and confirms all content is ready for public launch.
- After launch, Seon Shim maintains ongoing responsibility for content updates. JView Lab remains available for infrastructure support.
This proposal is prepared by JViewLab and reflects costs as of 2026-05-25. Third-party pricing (domain registrar, Zoho Mail) may vary slightly by provider and renewal year. JViewLab has no financial interest in the third-party services listed — all costs in Part C are paid directly by DRIG to those providers.
All source code and web assets are owned by DRIG. JViewLab and Seon Shim retain no ongoing contractual dependency or lock-in.
