Q. How quickly can I get my new web site?
If you have chosen the 'eShowcase eStore' option it
generally takes between 24 to 36 hours to have your site
on the net ready for you to add information about your
business using your personal Control Panel.
Other types of websites and stores will probably take
longer. It all depends on your requirements and the
complexity of the site.
Q. Can I really buy a website or webstore on-line?
Some people think that you must hire a local web designer.
Why? Here we are, talking about selling goods and services
via the Internet and yet there is this strange perception
that the web site or web store itself must be organized
locally. Nonsense. We are dealing with 'e' products in an
'e' age. It's not necessary for us to come and see you.
Nice if possible but certainly not necessary. We can
create your web store for you no matter where you live in
the world.
Q. How can you set up a site without coming to see me?
All our transactions can be done by fax, telephone and
eMail. Even pictures, logos and designs can be eMailed so
it's easy to construct your site. Once the site is up and
running and meets your requirements, then we hand over the
keys and away you go. We don't! We are always there in the
background should you need our help or advice.
Q. What does it really cost?
Be assured, there are no hidden costs. If you chose the
'eShowcase eStore' option the web site with 3Mb of space
is sufficient to hold your web pages plus something like
150 to 200 individual product/service pages with pictures
and descriptions.
Only if you want to register and/or use a Domain Name of your
own will an extra expense become involved. This is because a
third party supplier will be involved. The extra cost will depend
on their current charges at that time.
(NB Site Build It! customers get Domain Name registration
included as part of the package.)
If we undertake to create a more complex web site and/or store
you will be given a free quotation and this will include
everything you have asked for. There will be no extra or hidden
charges to face in the future.
Q. How do I make payment?
With the 'eShowcase eStore' option it's really easy. Like
everything else we do, it's all done on-line. When, and
only when, you are satisfied with your new store will we
ask for payment. You will be invoiced by eMail and you
have a full 30 days before it is necessary to make
payment.
You pay just once a year. That's it, no hidden extras. You
make payment with your credit card via PayPal.
Secure, easy and simple.
Other sites and stores may involve third party suppliers.
Hosting, domain registration etc. With these you will have
the option of dealing with them direct and then of course
you will need to follow their payment methods. Our part of
the service will be invoiced separately. We always use
PayPal.
Q. What is needed to be able to have an instant
business web site?
Instant? Then you need our 'eShowcase eStore' option.
Requirements are a computer, Internet access, and a means
of taking pictures for your site.
Q.What about html code and ftp knowledge?
Obviously if we are both creating and managing your
web site for you then this question doesn't apply.
With the 'eShowcase eStore' option you have your own
personal Control Panel and can do many operations all by
yourself. Even so, you still do not need any technical
knowledge. The software made available on our host site
generates your web page template and also does the
uploading of information automatically for you.
If you can enter information on the keyboard and know how
to use the mouse then you are all set to take control and
have your own web site.
Q. How often can I change my site to add
pictures or update it?
This question applies to those interested in the
'eShowcase eStore' option.
And the answer is, as often as you like, 24 hours every
day. You have total access to, and total control of your
webstore using your control panel with your user name and
password.
Q. Can I change my password?
An 'eShowcase eStore' option question. Yes, you can change
your password anytime.
Q. How do I add pictures to my web site?
An 'eShowcase eStore' option question. To add, delete or
modify any listings go to your control panel and click on
Add Listings. A screen appears that asks for all of your
information about the photo you are submitting. Complete
directions are found in the User Guide. If still in doubt
you can contact us.
Q. What about photos?
An 'eShowcase eStore' option question.
By far the easiest way is using a digital camera. Our
preferred digital camera is the Sony Mavica due to its
ease of use and with its eMail setting the pictures are
the exact size you need for your web site. Plus the Mavica
puts the pictures right onto a floppy disk ready for your
use.
Alternatively you can use ordinary photographs with a
scanner. Follow this with photo compression software to
make the pictures ready for use on your web site.
Q. How many photos can I put on a page, and how
many pages can I put on my site?
An 'eShowcase eStore' option question.
Each page is capable of 2 pictures of the item or service
offered along with a description. If you prepare your
photos to the recommended size your site should allow for
approximately 150 - 200 pages with one photo. With 2
photos on every page it would be approximately half and of
course somewhere in-between if you put 1 photo on some and
2 photos on others.
Q. Do I need to know how to create or design
web pages?
An 'eShowcase eStore' option question.
No, the simple-to-use templates are as simple as filling
out a form. You just fill in the provided fields with your
information and it is automatically uploaded to your web
site.
Q. How do I set up the secure order page?
An 'eShowcase eStore' option question.
Using the template provided you just enter your
information and choices. It's easy and complete directions
can be found in the User Guide. If still having problems
you can contact us.
Q. What if I need help or support?
As far as the 'eShowcase eStore' software is concerned it
is so easy to use the odds are you won't need any help at
all, but if you do we are available by phone or eMail
during normal business hours.
Site Build It! customers will find there is an excellent back-up
and support system provided by SiteSell.com
If we are to be successful we 'need' you to be successful.
This means 'your success' is our PRIMARY concern.
Q. What about guarantees?
Of course. Absolutely. Guarantees are a must. We do not
want unhappy customers.
If at any time you are not satisfied with the service we
give, (highly unlikely), you can withdraw from our
arrangement.
Please bear in mind we cannot give refunds of money paid
direct to third party suppliers by yourself.
However this is 'our' guarantee. If you are not satisfied
with the work we have done and we have been unable to
resolve the difficulty your fee will be refunded.
With the 'eShowcase eStore' option if you withdraw within
three months of making your first annual payment we will
refund your fee in full. There after, refund will be pro-rata.
