Will I be able to edit my website?
Yes - once we have finished it you will easily be able to edit it yourself. We've set this up specifically so that you won't need us once we've finished the initial setup.
There is a super easy drag and drop interface so you don't need to know any coding at all!
You will be able to easily add text and images yourself so that you don't need to worry about additional fees for website updates. We will provide you with some how-to videos along with your own login to a dashboard that tracks analytics as well.

What are the on-going payments for?
Once you have purchased your website from us you will also need to purchase the on-going hosting. This is an additional £9.97 per month (or £97 per annum). Because we have our own dashboard and easy editing templates these websites are required to be hosted on our dedicated servers. These websites cannot be moved in the future, if you decide you no longer want to work with us you will need to have a new website created using a different software.
Do I need a domain?
Yes - you will need to have registered your domain name. We will provide you with basic instructions to update your DNS to point it to your new JADE Connect website.
If you don't already have a domain name we recommend you purchase from GoDaddy as we have found it to be the most user friendly and easy to use. You DO NOT need to purchase any hosting as we will provide that for you.

Is this Wordpress?
No - these are not WordPress websites. We use an easier website builder that keeps things very simple for you. Once we've built your website we pass over everything to you and you are able to update and maintain it without needing to know any coding, like you would with WordPress. This is much easier for the beginner and people that don't need a lot of bells and whistles. If you are looking for a simple web presence to build credibility for your property business - JADE Connect is a simple and quick solution.
Can you make my logo?
No - we can add the name of your business to the header of the website and we can use stylized fonts, but if you want to have a logo you will need to provide this yourself.
Your logo is going to look its best if it's less than 150px tall and is in a file format known as a transparent PNG; this kind of PNG file uses a transparent background which ensures the background of the logo won't clash or contrast with the background of the site.
If you have a dark website we suggest you consider light text / images in your logo or putting a light border around the text. If you have a light website we suggest the opposite (dark font / images or dark border around the text).

Do I get my email address from you?
No - we only do website hosting. Not email hosting.
If you need a professional email address we highly recommend G Suite (from google). If the gmail you know and love with additional functionality just for your business - along with a professional email address. Learn more here --> https://goo.gl/XLLZCq

Can you make me a bespoke website?
No - we currently do not offer that service. We've spent a lot of time perfecting our templates and that is what we specialise in. Developing a website from scratch is a very involved and detailed process that takes many hours of work and collaboration from both your team and ours. We've been able to provide these templates at a significant discount from a normal website because they have been designed as templates in order to keep costs low while still providing great value and a professional image for your business. Bespoke websites would come at a much higher price tag and there are many other companies that you can go to for that. Our specialty is the property business specific templates you find on the site.
What will you need from me?
Once you have purchased your website you will receive an invoice which has a link to our information gathering form. This will ask you for your domain name, business name, business contact details, logo, and any other specific information you want to include on your website.
You will also need to point your domain to our servers. We will provide basic guidance on how to do this but you may need assistance from your domain provider (this is why we recommend GoDaddy as they are super simple to update).
We can complete your website within 5 days - but we need your help in responding quickly to our messages and providing us the information we need as soon as possible. The longer you take to get back to us the longer it takes to complete your website.

What will I get when I purchase my website from you?
You will get a beautiful website setup from one of our professional property specific templates. This will be updated with your business information (business name, phone number, email address and logo). Once you have set up the on-going direct debit for the hosting we will make your website live to your domain name and provide you with a login so that you can edit your website and see some basic statistics about viewers. Finally, we will also provide you with a couple of how-to videos that show you how to make edits to the website (they are very short since it is so easy to edit with the drag and drop interface).
What won't I get when I purchase my website from you?
You won't get a bespoke website or tailored and on-going support. In order to keep our costs so low we limit the updates that we make to the template to those listed above. And we do not provide on-going support. Once setup, our website are so easy to update and maintain you won't need us anyways - which will save you thousands of ££ compared to most website developers who rely on the fact that you won't be able to edit the website yourself and will need to keep paying them for every small update. When you work with us you have all the tools you need to maintain and manager your brand new property website.
How long does it take?
Generally it takes 5 business days (or less) from the day we get your order. Our team will start working on it as soon as you send us through the form with your company details on it. If you haven't received the form please let us know and we will send you a link.
In order to avoid delays please have your domain name ready and purchased along with your business name and contact phone number that you want included on the website. In order for us to complete your website on time we need the information provided by you - and and delays on your side will result in delays on our side.
