[home/ServiceBuilder] I’ve decided to develop a new pricing structure for ServiceBuilder. Instead of a yearly cost which would cover database updates and unlimited support, I’ve changed it to be a one-time cost, with an optional support and update fee. This makes it much more affordable for most churches, and is more similar to other software on the market. Now the one time cost is $379 USD. I hope this makes ServiceBuilder even more accessable to churches who need it. ~Jason
New Pricing Structure
Updates come out regularly— usually about once every month or two. These updates will cost only $35.00 USD (bug fix updates are free). If you want unlimited access to all updates then the optional yearly fee is $100.00 USD per year.

[home/ServiceBuilder] Wow, I just got the coolest telephone call from a big company in the US, called Lifeway. They are in a five-year process of building a giant web interface for music directors, similar to ServiceBuilder. They’re curious about my program, and told me today that they’d like to fly me down to Nashville to demo it for them! The gentleman I spoke with even mentioned that they might put me in charge of the project, if I was able to find the time! Wow. I don’t know what to think about that. I’m probably not qualified to lead a project of this magnitude! It does sound like fun— what an exciting prospect to consider! For God’s glory,
Lifeway Called Me!

[home/ServiceBuilder] Today I’ve released a new version of ServiceBuilder which includes many new features and fixes, especially with regards to improving user-friendliness. One of the new features is an interactive video wizard which walks through the essentials of using ServiceBuilder in 12 easy steps. Visit www.servicebuilder.net/download.shtml to obtain the new version. If you store your data file at the root of your hard drive (eg: C ~Jason
New Version Released
sb_data.mdb) then be sure to back it up, as this installation will replace your data file. You should move your data file to a network drive, and relink it to the front-end.

[home/ServiceBuilder] I’m adding a new feature to ServiceBuilder for our church— it’s almost done. It will help us keep our contact information up-to-date. Here’s what it does: it sends out a message to a group from your database (you decide who) asking them to confirm their contact information. They can click a link, then choose ‘Accept’ or ‘Correct.’ As soon as they view the record, this action is stored in a separate table so we know who actually got the email and bothered checking. Then if they accept the contact information, or correct it, this information is stored in the people table, as well as in the separate table, mentioned above. This way we can easily ask all attendees, for example, to check their contact information before we print a new church directory. They can also choose to unsubscribe! The script has a built in password system to ensure someone doesn’t change your information without your permission. Pretty cool. ~Jason

[home/ServiceBuilder] The web version of ServiceBuilder has seen an update today. Now volunteer worship leaders can add worship songs to a service from the comfort of their living rooms. They login, search the database for songs they want, then click the add button. When finished adding, they can set the order, or remove songs. They can also see when songs were last used, the key they are in, and more. To save to the database, they just enter a special password, and click a button. This feature is long overdue, and was added partly because Craig from the Meeting House churches requested it. The next feature he has requested which I’m working on is the ability to transpose chord charts automatically. ~Jason
