Available Statistics for March through September of 2008
DollardHockey.com is the official web site of the Dollard Hockey Association in the west island of Montreal. The DHA web site is maintained by a dedicated team of volunteers. Ever since the site was converted from static HTML pages to dynamic Content Managed pages - the volunteers at Dollard Hockey have been regularly posting relevant and timely information for the benefit of the community. As a result, the use of their site has steadily increased.

As the hockey season began in September 2008, the DollardHockey.com web site experienced a staggering average of 362 visits per day! The average number of page views per day was even more amazing - clocking in at a whopping 2884!

Most web sites see an average of under 20 visitors per day. The visitors rarely click on more than one or two pages when they visit. The DHA team has managed, simply by taking the time to post some of the information that their community needs, to gain the interest of their readers. As a result, their readers click on an average of eight pages per visit - fully four to eight times the average for most web sites. DHA website readers also tend to spend a great deal of time on the site; the average being about 5.5 minutes per visit. That's a fairly long visit! The average for a typical web site is less than 30 seconds (with many earning less than 15 seconds worth of the attention of their readers.)

The DHA team works hard for their community - but they don't need to work their fingers down to the bone for the DHA website. They use an industry standard content managed solution provided by BNT Solutions, Inc. This gives them the ability to divide the work-load between a handful of volunteers. Each volunteer devotes a few minutes to updating the site from time to time.

Please take a moment to look carefully at the site. You will see that each little contribution plays a small role in the overall value of the site to the community. No one contribution has any great significance - but, taken as a whole, the site has become a valuable and useful resource for DHA members. Most importantly: The many small investments made to date will continue to earn dividends for years to come!

How long did all this take? DollardHockey.com was converted by BNT Solutions into a dynamic, Content Managed site less than three years ago. Within a short time after the conversion the volunteers managed to put a fair amount of useful information into place. As a result, the volume of traffic was always good and has been growing ever since.

How many lines and extensions can I connect to my PBX?
There is generally no restriction on the number of lines and extensions that you can connect. However, there are many factors that work together to determine the overall capacity of your system. You can build an expensive and powerful PBX and load it down by using a few heavy features so that it can't handle many calls - or you can build an inexpensive and weak PBX and connect it to lots of extensions that are only used for simple calls. Because of this flexibility it is not easy to make general comments about PBX capacity. In general you will want to determine your needs and build a PBX that fits both your requirements and your budget.
