Why are Website Kits less expensive than other options? Ohio’s public libraries are in the unique position of being able to buy customized website services at cost. That’s because Ohio public libraries already indirectly pay for OPLIN through the Public Library Fund; OPLIN does not generally charge for its services. Website Kits is an exception: since not all libraries want or need a Website Kit, we only charge for the actual costs of creating and maintaining a Kit. Not charging would not be fair to libraries that don’t want a Website Kit. But, the Kits are still significantly less than those from vendors, because we are not trying to make a profit. There’s no markup.
