A: Site Palette is a system that enables the non technical person to build, monitor and maintain a powerful website!

A: Site Palette is a turnkey package of applications tied to a framework, creating a strong foundation for your website. All that’s needed is design and content. Think of it like a car without the body design; Site Palette is frame, engine, instruments, wheels, etc... fully functional and ready to go; all you need is add the body style, color and design elements.
A: There are basically 3 design options you can choose from with Site Palette.
1. Our Professional Designers create a custom website design taylor-made to fit your needs. More Info
2. You choose one of our pre-made templates. More Info

A: Technically a website template or website frame is the part of the website that keeps the same look as a visitor goes from one page to the next. We also refer to this as a master navigation template. Sometimes a website template is used to refer to a website design that is sold multiple times to multiple people, but is usually not a functioning website. Our pre-made design templates are fully functional websites.
A: Our Template Websites are the quickest way to get a website up, usually in 3-5 days. If you are having us create a custom designed website the design process can vary depending how much design work you require. The basic design process takes about 2 weeks to complete, and once you approve the design it will take 3-5 days for us to integrate your design and setup Site Palette. If you are a designer it’s also 3-5 days from the time we receive your design.
A: Yes, you can add as many pages as you want. You’re only limited to the amount of hard drive space your plan allows. An example would be, if you have an average of 2 images 100KB in size on each page you could have over 500 pages on our smallest bronze plan at $10 per month! Your disk usage also depends on other factors like how large your website template design is or how many emails you store.
A: If you are a non technical person you can design most of the website yourself using our easy-to-use website editor. If you know Microsoft word or other word processors you can use our editor.
