TURNKEY WEBSITE FAQS
Q: What is a "Turnkey Website?"
A: It is a plug and play online business that has all of the aspects of the business within it, including any products it sells. You just install it and start promoting!
Q: I don't have any programming skills. Can I do this?
A: Yes. Our websites come with easy installation directions in every zip. You might want to learn a little about FTP and HTML but most free programs like NVU html editor and CuteFTP do the job nicely and have a point-and-click interface. No one needs to know how to program to run a turnkey website.
Q: Do you take a cut out of my sales?
A: No. Never.
Q: Are there any hidden fees?
A: No. You pay for your membership so that you can download the websites and ebooks. During the life of the membership, you get resell rights to resell our products as well. Websites need to be resold hosted on a server with a domain so that you are selling WEBSITES and not ZIPPED SCRIPTS.
Q: Can I host elsewhere?
A: Yes. However you might want to consider our unmetered reseller hosting plan - you can fill it up with your internet empire and you will never need to upgrade to a bigger server - ever.
Q: Is there a Refund Policy?
A: No. We are selling digital products, which means once the payment is made, you have access to everything. Our code is not encrypted, thus easily copied. There are no refunds.
Q: Can I change the graphics and content of my turnkey website?
A: Yes. You can do whatever you want with your website, since you are 100% the owner and will have full access to the website code.
Q: What is your reseller Pricing Policy?
A: RESELLER PRICING:
1. AUCTIONS (i.e. Ebay, Yahoo, Stormpay, etc.)
- MAKE BEST OFFER is categorically NOT allowed.
- If you are NOT a DSG Co-Brand store owner, you MAY NOT start any auction for UNDER $29.95. You MAY NOT list a BUY IT NOW item (websites only) for under $49.95.
- If you ARE a DSG Co-Brand store owner, you MAY NOT start any auction for UNDER $19.95. You MAY NOT list a BUY IT NOW item (websites only) for under $49.95.
2. YOUR E-COMMERCE STORE (non DSG Co-Brand)
- You MAY NOT link to Design Shrine Demos.
- You MUST have a hosting feature in your store that asks for a domain name and a hosting plan option.
- You MAY NOT link to Design Shrine demos (only DSG Co-Brand owners may do that because the Co-Brand store asks for the customer's domain name)
- You MAY NOT price any of the websites for under $39.95, not including the hosting and domain fees.
3. DSG CO-BRAND OWNERS
- The same pricing applies to the DSG Co-Brand store owners only they may link their demos to Design Shrine demos
- They may still utilize Demos for the websites they sell on auctions, but still must install the website for the winner of the auction
Q: Do you do installations?
A: Yes. If you are a current reseller hosting or turnkey website member, you only pay $10 for installations. You should have received the installation order form and logins when you joined.
Q: HOW MANY TIMES CAN I RESELL THE SCRIPTS?
A: Current Members can resell the scripts unlimited amount of times. After membership has ended, members can only use the websites for personal use only indefinitely.
Q: IF USING FOR A CLIENT, CAN I SAY "DESIGNED BY" ME?
A: No. You cannot claim design rights to the graphics and programming or the site as a whole due to licenses we hold with people involved with producing the websites.
Q: ARE ANY OF THE SCRIPTS GPL?
A: Yes. A handful of the scripts we have developed come with a GPL license. You cannot redistribute these with our images and design, though the programming comes under the GPL license.
Q: I NOTICE A LOT OF FLASH IN YOUR SITES. DO I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO EDIT FLASH TO EDIT THE INFO IN THEM?
A: No. Except for the "Full Flash" websites, all of the others use an external .txt file to edit the text content in them (i.e. Company Name, Slogan). You need only edit that in any program, such as notepad, and it will change the Flash info for you.
Q: AFTER I PAY FOR MEMBERSHIP, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY MEMBERSHIP?
A: Instantly! If you have purchased at the store, http://www.designshrinephpfactory.com, you logins will be sent to you within seconds of checkout (if you didn't pay with an e-check).
Q: HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE SCRIPTS/WEBSITES?
A: Click on the thumbnail of the website/product you would like to use. On its respective page you will see three small links: Enlarge, Demo and Download. When you click on "Download" you will be prompted for your username and password. Once you enter them and click OK, the download process will begin.
Q: I JUST WANT ONE WEBSITE. DO I HAVE TO JOIN FOR MEMBERSHIP TO GET IT?
A: No! Just head on over to our PROMOTION! CLICK HERE and purchase it with annual hosting, domain name, installation and search engine submission - only $125!.
