CUSTOM DESIGN INFORMATION

happens once I sign up?

receive your Workbook via download or email. Included in the Workbook
are step-by-step instructions guiding you through the information we need
to customize your site. Upon receipt of your completed workbook(s), we

Of course, your input is strongly recommended.

long will it take to design my Web site?
Ten (10) business days from the time we receive your completed Workbooks.
How
much time do I have to review the final version of my Web site before
it is published?
Once your site is completed, your Web Specialist will contact you to set
up a time to review your site. After the review, you have two (2) business
days to approve the site or submit changes. If you do not respond within
two (2) business days the site will be published.
MAKING CHANGES TOP
Can
I add additional pages to my custom-designed Web site?
Your site will be pre-built with a set number of pages and features, based
on the package you choose. Your Web site will support up to 56 pages.
You can add more pages yourself or if you choose, you can have us add
pages for you. More pages can be created for an additional fee. To order
additional pages contact us at Support@vista.com or 425-558-9119.
How
can I purchase additional Web pages or Web design time?
Additional Web page design time is sold in 30-minute increments. For details
contact us at Support@vista.com or 425-558-9119.
Can
I use my own domain name (www.joesshoestore.com) with your services?
Yes. We'll be glad to help you register a new domain name or transfer
an existing one to your new Web site. Complete information can be found
in the SiteStarter Workbook.
Will
you submit my site to Search Engines?
Yes! An initial Search Engine submission is done for you with any of our
Custom Design Packages . Your site will be automatically listed
with these Search Engines: Hotbot, Google, MSN, AllTheWeb, AltaVista,
Lycos and Northern Light. You may also submit your site to the following
Search Engines for a fee: Excite, Overture, FindWhat, Google AdWords and
Inktome. The directories you may automatically submit to include Yahoo,
LookSmart and Open Directory Project.
What
about submitting my Web site to Yahoo?
Because Yahoo handpicks which Web sites they will publish in their directory,
we cannot ensure placement on their site. Nevertheless, you can quickly
and easily register your site with them by going to the Yahoo site and
following the instructions.
OTHER TOP
What
about Web Hosting?
Your Web site comes with reliable, secure web hosting, 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. So even while you sleep, your Web site will be working
for you. There will be short periods of scheduled "down" time when the
servers will be undergoing updates and maintenance. We will make every
effort to schedule these during non-peak traffic times. You will be notified
in advance via email of these planned updates. Additionally, as with any
ISP (Internet Service Provider) we can experience random "down" time,
however, our record-to-date for "up" time is competitive with the best
available.
How
will my site look different from others in my industry?
Each site is different based on content, logos, graphics and business
"personality". All additional Web applications (e.g., chat, message boards,
polls, events calendar, etc.) can be customized for you so your entire
site is a professional extension of your business.
Who
will program my site?
After deciding what you want your site to say and do - our Web Specialists
will go to work to build a fully-functional site for your needs. When
they are finished programming the site they turn it over to you - you
need no technical knowledge to keep your Web site up and running. This
is one of the key benefits of our solution - making changes and editing
your site requires no HTML knowledge. If you do not want to maintain your
site, for an additional fee, we can maintain it for you. For details regarding
site maintenance contact us at Support@vista.com or 425-558-9119.
What
if my logo and graphics are in hardcopy?
You can send us your logo and graphics via email or in hardcopy - our
Web Specialists are able to scan in hard copy materials. You can also
take advantage of our royalty free image library. It's all up to you.
Which
Custom Design Services Web Package is best for me?
Refer to the Custom Design section for complete
package details or simply contact us at Support@vista.com or 425-558-9119
and a Web Specialist will be happy to help you assess your needs and the
packages available.
