We already have a website, can we participate?

If your business already has a website, the Network of Agents program can work very well for you, and because you've already compiled the information, it should be that much easier. All you need to do is decide which design choice you'd like to use, then decide how your existing information should be reorganized to fit into that template. After the content is organized, just sign up for the program and send it to us, and we'll do the rest. If you'd like to use your existing graphics, or if substantial customization is required to make your current content fit the template, additional charges may apply. For additional information on customization, please see our how it works section and pricing section, as well as other FAQ's found on this page.

What will my new web address (URL, Domain) be?

Visitors will be able to access your site directly, they won't have to login to the Network of Agents website first. You will have a unique web address such as: www.networkofagents.com/yourbusinessname/. You may also use a redirection service from an existing web address for an additional charge. Please see our pricing section for more information.

How do I get started?

Please see our how it works section for full details on getting your new website set up.

How do I give Network of Agents the content for my website?

You can use this form as a guideline for gathering the content for your website. Once you've gathered everything, you'll need to send it to us in electronic format. Text may be sent in a variety of electronic formats, and the following are examples of those accepted: .txt, .doc, .wpd. Text may also be included directly into an email and mailed to: info@networkofagents.com. Hard copies of content are accepted, but a fee of $60/hour applies for hand typing the information into the website. If you are unsure about the format that you are sending, please contact us for additional information and assistance.

How long will it take to get my new website?

Once we get the content, it should only take a few days to complete your site. The timeline is dependent on several factors including how complete the content is, if there are any questions we have for you, and the number of other businesses ahead of you in the schedule. From start to finish, the process shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks, possibly much less.

What if I want to get a totally custom site?

If the Network of Agents program isn't adequate to meet your website needs, you can always allow Y4H Designs to build a custom site for you. Our normal design rate is $60.00 per hour.

Will my site have banner ads and pop ups?

Many low-cost web design and hosting programs use banner advertisements on the participating sites to offset the costs associated with the program. Network of Agents DOES NOT use any form of advertising on the participating sites or anywhere else. Your site is your own, and no additional content is required to participate.

Can I change the section headings?

We've attempted to include all of the high-level section headings that would be used by most businesses for a great website. In general, you should not need to add any headings as most information will fit on those already in place. However, the need to change the headings will be handled on a case by case basis. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes, we accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. Checks and money orders are also accepted, made payable to: Y4H Designs.

How will I be billed?

The initial fee will be billed on sign up and must be paid in advance. The monthly fee will be billed on the 1st of the 15th of each month according to your billing cycle. Invoices are all "due on receipt" terms, and will be sent via email form or by fax for a small additional charge. Payments may be made either by phone, mail, or through a secure online form using a credit card.

Can I add my own images to the pages?

Yes. We've designed each template in such a way that the images provided will maintain the overall professional look and timeliness of your website. However, you may replace those images with your own if you wish. Please see our terms and conditions "file format" section for information on what kinds of images you may use. We will attempt to accommodate the use of your own images at no additional charge, but please be aware that excessive work related to those images will result in additional charges at $60 per hour.

Why don't the websites available have more features or allow me to do all of my set up and updates myself?

The goal of the Network of Agents program is to provide a very low cost alternative to traditional web design for businesses. We have designed the program to allow businesses to simply supply their content in textual form, rather than spend a lot of time dealing with online forms and pages attempting to enter in all of their information. We've also attempted to do this at a very low set up cost, which in general is lower than most businesses would pay to have a member of their staff use an online form. We are currently developing better automated tools for set up and updates which will allow users to do more of that work themselves, should they desire to.
