There is no limit to the number of sites that can be managed from your account. Adding a new site to your existing setup is a simple process that generally takes 24hrs.
Setting up a website is a detailed process, we don't offer a free trial of the product. We do, however, offer access to a sandbox environment so you can see how Core dna works. Book a sandbox here
We don’t like charging overages because we understand there is a fluctuation between your traffic month-to-month. We do take a longer term view of your site traffic and will consult with you before we charge any overages. In many cases we establish a yearly traffic volume and bill any variants plus or minus to cover spikes during the year.
A "Request" is a call to Core dna engine over the Internet which resolves as a dynamic web page or structured data content. For example, AJAX requests, headless queries, and REST API calls.
This excludes calls to static assets that are normally served by the CDN (Content Delivery Network), such as images, fonts, JS files, CSS files, etc.
There are no upfront licensing or setup charges. Core dna is a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) platform, so what you pay is a single subscription covering every application, all the updates and new features we release, and the full cloud infrastructure.
There are three tiers, and placement comes down to the shape of your business rather than your size:
The pricing for your subscription is all-inclusive. Your fixed monthly payment covers all the software, the patches and updates to the software. It also covers future releases and upgrades to functionality. Finally, it covers all the cloud infrastructure including network traffic, servers, security and all monitoring.
A non-exhaustive list of things you get with your subscription for free are:
Core dna plans are billed annually. The Operator tier starts at $48,000 per year for one business running several properties. Network is sized to operators running many governed units such as franchisees, brands, dealers or chapters, and Enterprise is negotiated for dedicated infrastructure, advanced SLAs and compliance.
Everything sits inside the subscription: all platform applications, every update and new release, and the full cloud infrastructure. There are no transaction fees, no per-seat fees and no live usage meters.
Whether you are interested in using Core dna for your own website or you want to maximise value by using a trusted brand for your clients’ website, no matter what industry you are in or the scale of your business, Core dna is the foundation that can deliver an integrated website solution.
Our engine supports a number of search tools, including customizable Elasticsearch (for facets, site search). If you have a specific engine in mind, we can also evaluate integrating it.
Yes, we do. Our ability to support multiple brands and site instances (by geography, market, etc.) on one platform and access all data in a unified dashboard is one of the features that makes us attractive to multi-brand manufacturers and retailers.

Core dna is a hosted platform, a true multi-tenant, single instance SaaS solution.
A true SaaS platform from the onset, Core dna was built for the cloud.
As such, we feature unrivaled security, scalability, resilience and failover. We have clients that see huge spikes in traffic and no degradation in performance. Frontier Touring - Australasia’s preeminent concert promoter - is a good example. When big acts like Paul McCartney, Guns n Roses, or Ed Sheeran announce pre-sale weekend, their site can see several million unique visitors - each making many, many calls to the server as they seek tickets - and we are happy to show you performance logs that show no significant performance degradation.
No, you can add as many users as you want, without additional cost.
Full training is provided to each of our users. Our objective is to build a strategic relationship with all our users, as your success is our success.
At Core dna we understand the running of the technical aspects of a content management system can be difficult. It is for this reason that we have developers, programmers, and network administrators on hand, as part of the service, to work on any issues you may encounter with your site.
