Do you have any trademarks or service marks? If so, please list them here and indicate which are registered trademarks.
Our contract includes a statement that you own the copyright to, or have permission from the copyright owner to use any photos or graphics you send us.
What is the purpose of your response form?
__ Guestbook for visitors to record comments
__ Request for information
__ Survey of customer preferences
Note: We do not set up sites that use the response form as an order form, since these require secure servers, and secure order pick-up. For one or two products we recommend using ShopSite Lite with a secure server. We charge extra to set up the ordering system.
We are not in the web hosting business. We recommend to our clients web hosting services tailored to their specific needs. We usually do not recommend hosting on your local dial-up ISP, since they too often are not well-prepared to meet specialized business site hosting needs. Their main business is usually dial-up access, and hosting is only a sideline for them. Please let us recommend a Web host service for you. We require cgi-bin access and FTP access, and strongly recommend telnet access. Our no-extra-cost response form also requires a Unix system with Perl language available.
