ProjectSpace is a cloud based web development environment designed especially for teachers and their students. The goal of this system is to take the hassle out of setting up a web and database server in a computer lab or on learner devices. This is so teachers can spend more time teaching the digital technology curriculum without having to wrestle with tricky server configurations. Teachers can easily set up accounts for their learners and have full access to their learners' work for the tasks of assisting, marking and moderation.

2024 Pricing
There are three main tiers. All of the functionality are on each. However, more resources are allocated for the extended plan. If neither of these tiers are suitable, please get in touch to negotiate something more appropriate for your school.
| Basic | Middle | Extended |
|---|---|---|
| $100 p/a | $150 p/a | $200 p/a |
| up to 100 accounts | Up to 150 accounts | up to 200 accounts |
| up to 6 databases | up to 6 databases | up to 12 databases |
| 10 MB per user * | 10 MB per user * | 10 MB per user * |
* Storage quotas are not enforced by the system. Some accounts will use more than their quota and others will only use a fraction. For example, a school with 100 accounts should not use more than 1 gigabyte (100 * 10mb). If this is not enough, your school will need to upgrade to a pricing tier that allocates more resources.
