Microsites for knife, sword and cutlery websites
We offer a website we call a microsite with 1 to 9 pages just for you on our server and it
includes having your domain name point to the pages inside the microsite. Receive a free domain
name and company-branded e-mail account with your Microsite. Keep reading
to learn more about how you can sign up today and be on the web.
Be on the internet with a web site for
only 75’ to $1.19 per day!
By going with a microsite package you don't need to make
your own website. You do not need to know about web design or have all the
software and hardware that go into creating a site. Your cost is low but
you will have a space on the internet for one year or more to show your product and let the
world know how to get in touch with you to place orders or ask for
information.
Advertising and marketing on
the web present opportunities.
If you elect not to go online, you'll miss them.

Send us your marketing
materials We can get started with as little information
as a few notes about your business and a business card with a logo. Our
designers will use this information as a point of departure for creating
an attractive, custom web site just for your business. Feel free to
provide additional marketing materials such as a Yellow Pages ad,
flyer, brochure, newspaper ad, logo or pictures and we'll incorporate
this content into your new web site.
You will have a space that is your area on our
server and your domain name will point to the index page in your
area and when someone types in your domain address they will go to your
homepage. Very professional.

relevance, the ability to guide users to additional relevant content

Test the Waters
By ordering a mircosite from us you can test the waters at a low cost
to see how your business needs an internet position.
This will help
you plan a strategic path for the future. |
No other advertising or
marketing medium can
put your company in front of more people.
We will register your domain name (if it is
available) for one year included with each microsite and have it point to your
home page in your microsite. You will be able to add your domain URL to all your
business cards, letterheads and brochures to send customers to your web
site.
Your website will have what is called domain forwarding or domain
masking. Your domain will direct your WWW address to an existing site. With masking,
users don't see the underlying address; only what they type in.
We will set this up for you and this is included in our price.
No ad banners or pop-ups on your site.
The domain name we register for you is
yours and is not registered in our name. You can take it with you to any
host or registrar you choose in the future if you leave our
microsite. We choose the domain registrar we
use to register your name which is included in your package while you are
signed up with us for a microsite.
We include only one of the following domain name extensions in
your microsite package:
(.com) - (.net) - (.org) - (.info)
Only one is included in each microsite package. If you want another domain name
extension not listed above such as (.biz - add $5 more)and (.us - add $10 more) we will credit the amount we pay for one of the
above domain name extensions to your cost and help you register the name.
It is easy
to keep your site up to date!
As part of our microsite plan, a website professional will make updates to your website on a
monthly basis and one change per month is included.
If you need more there is a charge based on what is done. There is a
minimum charge of $10 for updating after the free one each month.
You never need to worry about not being able to
get in touch with your designer for updates or changes to your web site.
Our staff is available Monday through Friday for questions, consultations and technical
support.
Let us help
focus your band values and
show the world your product or service!
Each microsite package above includes $40 of
banner
advertising with the KWG for your knife, sword or cutlery business. You
supply us with the banner or for a fee we will make a
custom banner for
you. Plus you will receive an additional 10% discount for all additional
banner advertising (banner impressions only) placed with the KWG for your microsite
package if space is available. The free included
$40 of banner
advertising must be used in the same year as your website is running
and if you do not use the included credit it expiries at the end of each
year of webhosting with us. If you don't use the credit it is like
throwing away $40!
We help remove the "in" from "invisible" in a short time!
Each package above includes 10 email forwarding to
one email account that you already have, such as your AOL, MSN or Comcast email
account. Your email will be professional such as
yourname@yoursite.com.
You will receive the company-branded email
sent to your domain name just as normal email and your customers will send
you email using your domain address in a normal fashion.
Your microsite package enables
you to create your very own, instantly recognizable
e-mail address e.g.,
"myname@mydomainname.com".
Custom Knife Makers
If youre a custom knife maker seeking exposure, CutlersCove.com can
help. We provide an affordable way to generate Internet exposure and
quality traffic. We do not take responsibility for sales. Works may be
purchased through negotiations with the maker through e-mail or other
contact information. Buy button links to the maker's Pay Pal account
may be added for an additional charge. In addition to the mircosite,
members are listed in the KWG directory if they qualify. |
99.9% Uptime Guarantee for our hosting
Deposits and Payment
50% payment is due at contract signing, with 50% due before your
microsite goes live. Visa, MasterCard, Discover/Novus, PayPal,
checks and money orders accepted in USA Dollars$. You must give us
all the text and photos so we can finish your website and make it live
to the world no less than 30 days after you make a deposit. We require
this so we can register your domain name before someone else does, get
you going on the internet and so you can get the orders coming in.
Yearly Renewals
Renewals must be paid in full 10 days before the anniversary date each year.
Example: Your microsite goes live on Nov. 18 then your renewal will need to be paid by Nov. 8
the next year. Your site will be removed on Nov. 19 if not paid because it
was due on Nov. 8 and late on Nov. 18. This is required to give us time to renew your domain name, make any
changes to keep your site live on our network and keep our prices low.
Prices are subject to change. All
microsites must be knife, sword, cutlery or outdoor related.
Refund Policy
A refund in full is available before we register a domain name and/or start the
design of your website. After we start either there is no refund. The hosting that is included
in the yearly microsite package is not refundable because it is part of the total package.
No cash refunds after your site starts or goes live.

know. We may be able to provide the service you need and our prices are
