Q. What preparation should I make before starting to build my site?
A. It will help to have an idea of the message you want to communicate with your website. How many pages do you think you will need ? What do you want to say on each page? You should gather all the digital imagery you think you will want to use into one folder on your computer for easy reference - for example, business logos, photos, graphics etc. If you want to use a form to collect information from your visitors, think about how this might work. It can also help to look at other websites to get ideas as to what works best.
You can make as many changes as you like to your website design, at any time - so experiment and enjoy yourself.
Q. I already have a hosting account with Netregistry - can I still use SiteBuilder?

A. Yes, 'SiteBuilder' eCommerce pack will create a fully functional online-store and allow you to process credit card payments either in real-time or offline.

Merchant eCommerce and an online merchant account with either NAB or St George banks. For offline transaction processing you need
Instant Store hosting account and a Point-of-Sales (EFTPOS) terminal (available to merchant account holders only) by the bank of your choice to manually process the transactions.
Q. How much do you charge for transactions ?
A. With Netregistry, all
transactions are Free! You will of course be subject to the standard transaction charges applied by your particular bank.
Q. I am unable to send emails from my form created with the SiteBuilder product. The emails are not delivered and an error message does not appear. How I do to fix the problem?
A. Ensure that your email address (where the emails are being sent) belongs to your domain name (where the form is located).
For example:
If your website is "www.domain.com.au" the email address should be something like "enquiry@domain.com.au". If you have an email package with Netregistry, your email account can be created via
The Console. Once Administering your domain name, simply click on the "Email" link then click "Create a new POP account".
