We build it
The cost for us to build your web site template is $99. After we receive your custom template selections and company images, we will create the web site for you. This includes image creation, HTML coding, and optimizing your site to get the best results with Search Engines. Once this is complete, (approximatetly 2-3 days; we create it while your domain name is processed) you can upload your company text directly to your site using iManager.

You build it

We will supply the template code in your home directory but it will be up to you to customize it. We do not provide technical support on how to do this if you choose this method. Familiarity with HTML is required.

Additional items such as optimizing your site for search engines would be up to you. We provide details on how Search Engines work within our Member's Area.
