What “advancing” looks like

Same business, same information. One looks like 2011. The other wins the job.

    Within 2 business days you get a link to your own dashboard with a mockup of your new home page.

  3. Approve it

    Like it? Click approve. Want changes? Say what, right there.

    Card payment through Stripe. Monthly plans bill monthly and cancel anytime.

Questions

What payment companies do you work with?

The one you already use. With Stripe we build checkout right into your site. With Square, PayPal, Clover or others we add your own pay buttons and payment links. The money always goes straight to your account.

Which package should I pick?

No website yet and just need to be found: Silver. Want calls, bookings, quotes or payments from your site: Gold. Want it all — booking, payments and quote forms together: Platinum. Security checks are a separate add-on, any time. Want something different? Build your own from the price list. Not sure? Pick "help me pick" on the form and we will tell you, honestly, the smallest one that does the job.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. You pay only the difference in setup, everything you already have stays, and the new monthly price starts with your next bill. Upgrade from your dashboard anytime.

What does the mockup cost?

Nothing. You see your new home page before you decide anything. If you do not like it, you owe us nothing.

Who owns the site?

You do. Your domain and your content stay in your name, and you get the logins.

Will my site say who built it?

A small "Website by Advancing Websites" link sits at the bottom of the page. If you would rather not have it, tell us and we take it off.

Can you put me on Google Maps?

Not as a service yet. Google makes the business owner verify their own profile. We link your new site to your profile so they point to each other.

How do I pay, and can I cancel?

All sales are final. When you pay for a job, we do the work you paid for, and payments are not refunded. You can cancel a monthly plan anytime. Cancelling stops the next charge, the month already paid is not refunded, and our work for you ends: we take no new edit requests and your monthly upkeep stops. If we host your website, we can transfer it to you; if you do not take the transfer, keep paying the hosting fee or the site goes offline.
