Customizable Order Form
Possibly one of the most important parts of your website. Your order form is completely customizable. It will ensure that all required fields are filled in. It will email you the form contents and send the sender an automated thank you note.
Below you see an excerpt of the admin page that lets you determine whether certain order form fields are displayed and whether they're required.
Orders Are Saved And Printable
All your orders will be saved in the website's backend admin area, which only you (or your appraisers) have access to. You can see all orders at a glance, and print them out. In the Premium Package, you can also filter, edit, and archive them.
Below you see an excerpt of the open orders overview. Coloring instantly conveys information, such as green orders being paid, and the red icon meaning the client has attached a note to this order. You can determine within the permissions settings whether appraisers can see or edit fee information.
Unlimited Pages
You can have unlimited informational pages. Publish your contact information, areas served, and pricing. Show off your resume and clientelle. Write the content that will get your site high search engine rankings (or request web marketing assistance).
Every page comes with up to three content areas (two sidebars and a main content area) and three areas where links appear (main navigation, logged-in sidebar, and footer). You can also edit an optional footer message.
Below you see an exerpt of the page management features. You can add, edit, view and delete pages. You can change their order within the navigation links. You can disable them or make them appear in the footer. With the Premium site, you can require that clients login first before they can see a particular page.
Easily Make Changes Yourself in the Browser
With our easy to use website administration system, you can keep your website's text and pictures up-to-date yourself, at any time, for free. If you can use a word processor and a browser, you can maintain your website yourself using our in-the-browser WYSIWYG editor.
Below you see an excerpt of the page content editor. Every field has a tooltip (
) you can point at for further instructions.
Online Billing Features
Use the website to handle client billing with either PayPal payment processing or with your existing merchant account:
- Tell the website to send the client a customized email requesting payment.
- The client clicks the link in the email to go to your website where they pay.
With the Premium package, the website records their payment for use in reports, and you can see at a glance what orders are paid or unpaid.
Custom Email Address(es)
Increase your business' professionalism with your own customized @yourcompany.com email address. Stop looking amateurish by using Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, or Hotmail.
Check your email from anywhere there's an internet connection.
We charge a $75/hr rate to help with setting up new email addresses in your email software. It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes for the first one, and then you can probably handle additional ones yourself.
"Contact Us" Form
Make it very easy for people to contact you by including a "Contact Us" form in addition to your phone number, fax, address, etc. The sender will get an automated thank you note.
Search Engine Optimized
Our packages are built from the ground up to rank well in search engines. You'll get customizable title, headline, content, and meta description fields which can greatly help your search engine rankings when properly used. Plus we'll give you advice on how to write with search engines in mind.
Additionally, page URL's are "pretty", so instead of www.yourwebsite.com/page.php?fd_id=238 your page URLs will look like www.yourwebsite.com/about_us
But it's not enough to just optimize your site if you're in a competitive geographic market; you might want additional web marketing services.
Training and Support for the Life of the Site
You'll have access to easy to understand user's guides and an optional telephone training session to help you understand how your website works. That's usually all it takes.
But if you ever need any help in the future with any aspect of your website, support is available. You'll get two hours free per year with the Premium package, and one per year with the Starter package, $75 per hour afterwards. Any unused support time can be applied to an upgrade at the end of the year.
Database Backups
The site's database and files are backed up every evening by the hosting service. Your site can also be set up to automatically email you a backup of its database on a regular basis. Once a week, once a day, once an hour. It's up to you. The Premium Package also lets you make manual on-demand backups.
Premium Site Features
Unlimited Clients, Appraisers, Orders, and Pages
There's no limit to your use of the features of the Premium Package.
Clients Can Check Their Order Status Online
No more time wasted on little phone calls. When your clients login to your website, they can see all their orders. They can see status messages you've attached to their orders. They can place new orders without having to re-enter their contact information. And they can see their billing history and pay for unpaid orders.
Below you see an excerpt of the order detail page which the client sees.
Clients Can Download Reports That You Upload
Once your work is complete, simply upload your PDF, Word, or other report(s) through the website and the client will receive an email notification letting them know their files are ready for downloading within their client area.
You can choose whether or not clients have to pay for an order first before they can download their reports.
Web-based Client Management
Clients can create their own accounts, or you can create one for them. They can then login and access their client area.
Web-based Order Management
Keep on top of your business with at-a-glance features. Plug in from any computer with an internet connection. Multiple appraisers can use the same system and only see orders assigned to them. Orders can be searched, sorted, and archived. You can see at a glance how much you've earned within a given date range, who has paid you, and who still owes you money.
Share Data w/Excel, FileMaker, Access
Easily export either your client or order data to Excel, FileMaker, Access, and most every database or spreadsheet software in existence.

Take in the state of your online business at a glance with the Orders Report and the Payments Report. Filter results by date and by client.
