1. Complete the 5-minute sign-up and email us whatever material you already have.
2. Within 3 working days, a temporary link shows you the full website, built on a proven template with your brand.
3. After your approval, the first monthly fee is issued and we publish it on your domain.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and the changes you email in are included.
