- What happens after I sign up?
Once completed the next step is to send us whatever content and material you plan to use (logo for instance) as well as the domain name you would like the website to be configured for.
We then start building your website according to your selection. Once ready, we will send you a link for you to review the website in which time you will be able send us your feedback with a list of
modifications required, if any. After you sign off
the updates we will deploy your website live onto the internet.
- How do I update or add new pages?
We provide you with a content management system called Umbraco that will allow you to keep your site current and updated. You will not need any html experience to do this.
- What if I have a problem with the site or the content management system?
We provide all of our customers with a ticketing portal which will allow you to submit any issues or problems you may be experiencing. This will ensure that any problems are tracked and addressed in a timely manner.
- What happens if I decide that I want to add more features to my site?
If you decide you want to add more features to your website then you can request these through our ticketing system and we will update your payment plan accordingly. You will then be able to use the new features through the content management system.
- What do I need to do setup make the recurring payments?
Nothing much, you will just need a paypal account. This is something you will be prompted to create after you sign up with DriveMySite.
- How do I obtain a domain name for my site?
You can use any domain searching site for this. One of our favourites is 123-reg if its a new site. However if you already have a domain name we can send you the appropriate settings which you can send to your domain company for DNS pointing to our servers.
- How do I approach selecting the right template for my business?
We recommend that you first consider the type of brand icons, colour themes and fonts that your business already uses. This will ensure that your template best reflects your company ethos and
offerings. You should then seek to ensure that you have ready your logos, images and related content in order for us to insert into them through the content management system.
- I have a template of my own that I want to use, is this possible?
Yes, absolutely. We run through the same process regardless of the template being used. Our process is to insert the templates into the content management system and from these create individual layouts that allow a variety of different page templates to be created by you the user. For example this may mean a template type suitable for a home page versus a template for a 'Contact us' or an 'About us' page.
- I have found a template I like but need its to be slightly tweaked for my business?
We offer a fixed bill and material fee for our graphic designer to work with you to adapt an existing template to suit any bespoke or specialised changes you need. We feel that this truly provides
our customers with the best of both worlds in terms of getting your impressive and imposing web design of the ground without all of the time and expense that this can often incur when starting from scratch.
- I like your features and offers but cannot find a template that truly reflects my business.
We understand that some of our clients want a fresh and clean start when it comes to web design. We have professional designers waiting in the wings to assist you in putting together a truly bespoke website. Our designers have years of experience doing this and understand the process of ensuring that the design itself still provides the flexibility for the content system to adapt its pages as needed.
- I need more than a website?
We are primarily a Microsoft .net shop and have background skills in ASP.NET, C#, Sql Server and web services. Umbraco itself can accomodate many business models and can be used to transform a good idea into a reality. If you have something that you would like to include within your business above and beyond site content we are all ears. We also provide E-Commerce and dynamic form solutions.
