Why Choose Pappashop
If you are considering one of our designs, hosting is not inlcuded. You must purchase hosting prior to us publishing your site. Pappashop is an exceptional choice and one we highly recommend. Their hosting prices are very fair and start at $9.95 per month {on an annual contract basis}, $12.95 per month {month to month basis} for a basic package that is more than enough space or bandwidth for any website. We have over 3500 products and photos on our graphic site and are only using approximately 15% of the storage space allotted. You should never need more than their basic hosting plan unless you are a huge retailer. If you should ever need to upgrade to their unlimited bandwidth or Premium plan, you can always do so later. Pappshop hosting includes a free shopping cart, a feature not common with most website hosts. Also, their software is very user friendly using top industry choice WYSIWYG or simply stated - "What you see is what you get". Basically, if you can type, you will find their software very easy as no htmo knowledge is required.
Pappashop also gives you a discount should you sign up for a yearly plan.
Pappashop's customer service is exceptional. Their response time to your questions or concerns is about 24 hours - exceptional in this industry. Their software is also very user friendly and requires no html knowledge. Pappashop has an uptime of 99.9%, highest industry standard. Another reason to choose Pappashop relates to our customer service. Since we use their exceptional software, we are familiar with it should you not find the answer to your questions in their excellent tutorials.

Please keep checking back with us as we plan to offer beautifully inspired designs exclusive to our site on a regular basis.
About Our One Of A Kind Pre-Designed Sites
Many of these designs will be One Of A Kind Pre-Designed and will sell out fast starting at $395.00 unless they are on sale. Since they are pre-designed, they give you the opportunity to have a full working website up and running quickly if you have purchased your domain and hosting plan. Other Limited Editions will become available and showcased on a regular basis. There are no refunds on web site or graphic designs.
It is our goal to offer a website or template to you for a very reasonable cost and to be able to have you in your new business as soon as possible.
Our One Of A Kind websites will be sold as is without modifications other than your website text and personalization. Occasionally we have made exceptions and changed a photo inside a brooch for example. There will be no changes in the design format without paying additional charges per hour.
The One Of A Kind Limited Edition Web Sites will only be sold to one client and then retired. We may offer Limited Edition sites in the near future.
About Custom Websites
If you would like us to design a website to complement any of our Shabby Shop Tags©, and we have not created a Pre-Designed One Of A Kind of your selected tag, we will create a custom designed complementing site for you starting at $495.00. Because custom sites are not sold to anyone else, we can only design one site per tag when using our exclusive tags as inspiration. We also would love to design a special site using your suggestions coupled with our leading designer's expertise and experience and coming up with a design concept that best represents you and your business.
Please remember that custom designed sites are more time consuming and you will be placed on a schedule. Your site will be "penciled in" on our graphic designer's schedule and held in place provided you have secured it with the required down payment of $250.00. The balance of $245.00 will be due when the design concept meets your expectations. We do not refund your down payment. Our graphic designers begin work on your design shortly after placing you on their calendar as the process begins when they establish contact and communication with you and begin searching their archives for graphics and trying to come up with a design theme or concept. Their time and expertise is valuable. There are no refunds on website designs or graphic design services.
We look forward to working with you and achieving your design goals. Custom sites will be placed on our schedule according to the date of the confirmed down payment. Many designers have a 3 month waiting period for a custom design. Our lead time will vary depending on our designer's schedule.
Typically, our designer's schedule has a lead time of 2-6 weeks but can vary depending on the complexity of the current designs on her design board. You will be notified by our leading graphic design team member and given an estimate once you have made the down payment. However, that can change so please check with us before you place your order if time is of the essence.
All Websites
All of our sites, when hosted by Pappashop are complete with a full working E-commerce site including a Pappashop - Mals Ecart Shopping cart {Included Free}. All sites will include 1 animated banner and 2 additional banners, matching order button or shopping cart graphic, and category headers up to 30 Categories. Please start thinking about your categories so that our designers can create matching banners which also gives us a leading edge as we include those as part of your design whereas many sites charge extra.
We also offer many other options not found on other sites such as complenting One Of A Kind shop tags or address labels and postcards for your business - all available as options.
Domain Tips
If you are considering opening a website, the first step is to establish your domain name. If you go to Pappashop at www.pappashop.com and click on Domains you can try various ones to fit your goals and see if they are available. Domains may be purchased for as little as $9.95 per year. We also suggest that you try and make your domain name as short as possible and as relevant to what you sell as possible. Although it is very endearing to name your site after a special person in your life, the domains that get the most "hits" and the most visitors and hopefully the most shoppers are those whose domain includes search words that will bring clients to your site. For example, if you are selling art, make sure that is part of your domain name.
After you have registered your domain, then you need to shop for a website design. If you choose us, we will ask you to sign up for hosting with Pappashop at the right time and if it is a Pre-Made Original One Of A Kind design, we will have you up and running very quickly. Choosing a custom design will take longer as noted above. The important part to remember is that once you sign up for hosting, please do not delete the confirmation Email you receive from Pappashop. There is information in that Email that we must have to publish your site.
Special Note About Options
All optional items are given special pricing only if you purchase them at the same time as you purchase the website design. If you wish to add these options later, prices will vary slightly on an al a carte basis. Pricing of Business cards or Shabby Shop Tags© or Bookmark Gifts is for the design of the digital template only. Please view more details about these items within the category specific to that option. Printing of the business cards is not included in the price. We can have them printed for you or can suggest reasonable publishers or you may want to print them yourself*. We also just added complementing address labels as an option. These labels will be designed to complement your business theme and will be professionally printed. Please read more about those services and the time schedule by visiting those individual categories.
*Special Note for Do It Yourself Printing*
We are sorry. Due to the extraordinary number of software programs available and the varied printer settings, we do not offer technical support or advice on how to print the business cards yourself. If you order the tags or bookmarks, we do Email you a basic instruction sheet for printing those digital items associated with those options.
Every client we create a website for will be listed in our Portfolio and get the benefit of being showcased on a site that currently has over 5 million verifiable hits. It is great exposure for you as many people will view your site and may end up becoming a regular shopper.
