I&#8217;ve been playing around with them and get the basic idea.  I&#8217;m looking for a dedicated fully featured events calendar and nothing else on the website.  I can see your plans for user submitted events which is great.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m at a crossroads and faced with a decision whether to go for a pure events calendar with paid hosted &#8211; initial set up and design costs and ongoing fees.  This is what can be achieved:<\/p>\n<p>Bedework &#8211; example calendar.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/events.rpi.edu\/main\/showMainEnd.rdo<br \/>\nor trumba &#8211; example calendar<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.asid.org\/events<\/p>\n<p>or to give it a go with The Events Calendar Pro.  Again I would need to find a very good freelancer to get me up and running and that would have an initial cost, but with less ongoing costs.<\/p>\n<p>My question is &#8211; technically and features-wise how far off is TEC Pro from the dedicated events calendars.  If I can get there roughly how much would it cost to get the functionality and design with TEC Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your advice.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<br \/>\nSimon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-16134","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Newbie - The events calendar v&#039;s dedicated events calendars -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/newbie-the-events-calendar-vs-dedicated-events-calendars\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Newbie - The events calendar v&#039;s dedicated events calendars -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I installed wordpress for the very first time today and purchased pro.
