How Do I Get Started Using SiteThingy?

First, you need to decide if you want a Retro-Fit or New Design.

A Retro-Fit - Is when you already have a website you are pretty happy with, but just want the ability to edit your own content and maybe add some dynamic elements and increased capability. In this case, you will click on the Buy Now! link located at the top of every page and choose Retro-Fit from the drop down menu titled "Design Package." Next you need to read over all the features available in our hosting packages (on the front page of the site) and determine which package best meets your specific needs. Choose this package from the drop down menu titled "Hosting Package" on the same Buy Now! page . Then proceed with filling in the rest of your contact information, along with any comments or questions you might have, and click on the Buy Now! button at the bottom of the page. A representative will then follow up with you directly to make the necessary arrangements to facilitate moving your existing site over into . The process usually takes about one week to complete, from start to finish!

A New Design - Is when you need a brand new, exciting website created for you, from scratch! This takes a little more time and collaboration than the Retro-Fit, but it will be a fun process seeing your site come together! First, you will follow the same Buy Now! procedure as you would with the Retro-Fit model above, however, instead of choosing Retro-Fit from the Design Package drop down menu, you would select New Design. Then choose your Hosting Package from the drop down menu, fill in your contact information and any comments or questions, then click the Buy Now! button at the bottom of the page. A representative will then contact you to discuss ideas for the design and layout of your new website! Together you will select colors, photos and graphics and talk about which features you want to appear on every page of your site. You will talk about the navigation menu and where you want it located on the page. What starter pages you want placed in your menu and whether you would like a slideshow in your Master Page design. Throughout the process we will be in contact with you to make sure everything is designed according to your preferences. We will begin work on the layout and design and you will have a gorgeous, finished website ready for your own special touches within two weeks of initiation.
