SERVICES WE PROVIDE:
1. We will walk you thru buying a Domain Name & choosing a Hosting Package. This can be easily accomplished together using the phone. We
love iPower Host your Web site with IPOWER! for their ease of use, friendly customer service & lots of space
& extras. Hosting currently $4.95 mo = $59.40 includes domain name. We
have recently discovered a local hosting company in Ashland, Va called
HOSTICAN.COM which we also recommend. If you already have a Domain Name with
another host we will not ask you to transfer unless it is a hosting company
located outside of the USA. If you do want to transfer, we will help you through
this process. There is no fee to transfer your domain name to the above hosts. There may
be a fee from your current domain provider to transfer - sometimes $8.00 to
$10.00. Your domain is a Legal entity that is registered an owned by you. When
you transfer a domain you will have to wait until the transfer goes through the
legal notification by the governing site INTERNIC.com . This may take a week to ten
days. While we are waiting for your domain to transfer we can plan and start
building your new website which will be published when the transfer has been
completed. A new domain does not have to go thru this waiting process. No
matter what you decide to do, we will be there to help with any questions.
2. We will ask you to provide your normal business details. We will not ask you for your credit card number
unless you want to give it to us. We respect your privacy so the information you provide that will not get published will not be given or shared with anyone else
and none of the information you provide will be somewhere on our computer except
for your name and address and email. All other information is kept on 4 x 6
paper cards for safety. All Design is a Give & Take with your ideas implemented with ours for a pleasing eye-catching site. We expect you to provide a LOGO, if not we will try to Design one for you (extra charge for this).
If you already have a website that is located on another host, we can capture it
and put it up as is or rework it to your satisfaction. You must have permission
from the previous designer before doing this as they may own the design. We
still can capture the old site & get an idea of your business while creating a
completely new design.
3. You will need to provide any images which must be sharp or be able to be sharpened by us. We prefer Digital images but can scan your Negatives or Slides
or prints . Your Images recommend You & Your Business, make each one count. If you need images you do not have on hand to illustrate a particular idea, our Stock Image Library may have the image you need
or if you are in our area (Metro Richmond VA area) we will provide our professional photography services. Web Use Fees will apply on a yearly basis. Other images, such as Clip Art can be found for Free on the Microsoft Office Clip Gallery by topic. They can become instant information to your visitor as well as linking to one of your service pages.
Or if need be we can photograph your store and/or products for you for an hourly
fee.
4. We are doing Shopping Cart sites at this time on
a small scale, by using PayPal to provide Buy Now and View Cart for
your product sales pages. If you take other credit cards you should let us know. Please state plainly the forms of payment you do take. Please advise your Refund and Return Policy. We ARE familiar with PAYPAL.
If you intend to use PayPal, please sign up for a Premium Business Account - see
Sign Up Logo Link Below. Please get a business checking account & a credit
card for your business - using your personal checking & credit cards is not
advised.
5. All our Sites are Search Engine Ready and EACH PAGE
is coded separately for its own content. We will submit for you or provide sites so you can do the Submits yourself. Our Fee Includes a One-time Submit when the site is finished.
6. Forms: Feedback, Solicit Services, Guestbook, Register, etc - all require you to have an Email Host that will accept a Forwarded POP3 mail. If you are an AOL Customer you
may not be able to use this service and will have to sign up for another Email address with another provider like Yahoo
or Hotmail or Gmail for instance. If you sign up with iPower for your hosting you will
be able to view your email online on their site (for AOL users) or have it
forwarded to you if you use Outlook / Outlook Express or other provider.
