| Getting Started
1. Select your
domain name. If you do not already have one,
we can register it for you in your name.
Domain names are 12.00 per year. If you are a
Mom Pack Member, you can receive a discount from mompack.com.
2. Order your web
hosting. Web hosting is how your site will be live
online to your visitors. We are web hosts and offer
plans from 22.00 per year up to 14.95 per month. We
even offer the option of owning your own web server
with full management by our staff. We have
been hosting sites online for years, own our own
servers with a 99.9% uptime rate and are very
experienced in this field. Your hosted site is
safe with us - just like our very own.
3. Order your DIY
Shoppe. This is a one-time license fee of 49.99.
OR Order your DIY Shoppe Deluxe for a one-time
license fee of 99.99. Why? We could just raise our monthly hosting fees
like others to cover the license fee over time and
make more, but we believe you should own your own
shopping cart and not just "rent" it from us like
others do. Think of the amount you spend for
our DIY Shoppe over years of "renting" and still
never owning your cart. Yikes! You've worked hard building your
business and your web site. Obviously you should
own it too.
The DIY Shoppe
requires PHP 4+, 1 mySQL, phpMyAdmin, which is
included in your hosting plan with us and a requires
a free
Mals-E account .
* The DIY Shoppe
works seamlessly with
Mals
and is required.
Mals
uses Paypal for its merchant processor. If you want
to accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, etc., please
let us know and we'll give you Mary Durina's contact
information so she can help you with setting up your
own merchant account through First Data, which is
what we personally have used for the past 5 years.
The cost for
the DIY Shoppe License is $49.99 or 99.99 for
our DIY Shoppe Deluxe License.
(Check our Features
page to see the difference or try it yourself from
the links on the left through the demos)
The ordering of your DIY Shoppe as well as
any other services that we offer can be done from
the left side links. *Link opens in a new window.
The license is a one time fee and requires a
at least a Basic Plan hosting account or higher due to the
cart using 1 mySQL database which is included with
that plan and up. Once you stock your DIY Shoppe,
you can contact us to evaluate your account to see
if we can downgrade you to a lower monthly cost and
still keep your database. If you need to
upgrade, you can do that as well. We are very
flexible in working with all of our clients. Your hosting account also
comes feature-packed with everything you need to
create your business online and more. Please check out our
site for all hosting details:
The Design Shoppe
Your DIY
Shoppe will be installed within 24-48 hours excluding
weekends and holidays.
*** Optional:
If you would like us to customize your template to
match the cart, customization starts at $75.00.
Please open a support ticket if you would like to
add this to your order. Template customization can
take approximately 3-5 business days to complete
depending on the complexity. We also
have access to a variety of web designers that may
be available even quicker than that.
* Please
note: All payments accepted via
our billing system.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Paypal. A
Paypal account is no longer required to make
payments via Paypal. All payments are securely
processed.
