- What software do I need to get

You don't need anything other than the browser you are
using to view this page. If you know how to point and
click, you are well-equipped to begin.
- Do I need to know HTML to build
my store?
No, you don't. The bundled shopping carts are also store
building tools. You don't need to know any HTML or
programming.
- How long will it take for my store
go online?
Once you place your order online with a credit card, you
can start building your store within 24 to 78 hours. The
determining factor is the activation of your domain name.
If your domain name is new, you can generally start
within 24 to 48 hours. If you are transferring your domain
name, expect to start within an average of 48 to 72 hours.
Once you get started, you can be done in less than an hour
if you have fewer than 20 products. The time varies from
a few hours to several days. Most of our customers report
spending one weekend day to prepare for going online.

to sign-up?
No, there isn't. You are on a monthly billing schedule
or you can chose to be billed yearly and receive a
rate discount.
- Will my store be registered with
search engines?
Yes. Once your account with us is activated, you will
receive a link to the search engine submission page
where you can register your domain name with the major
search engines.
- What do I need to sign-up for your
service?
You need an Internet connection and a valid email
address (so that we can send you the account information).
If you are paying by credit card, you should have either
Visa, MasterCard, or Amex ready. You can also choose to
pay by check. Then you need to decide on your domain
name if you are registering a new domain name.
- Will transactions be secure?
All transactions on your online store will be encrypted
via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Any shopper using
a browser supporting the SSL protocol can shop with
confidence. Almost all browsers nowadays support SSL.
