?What does the $150 include?

$150 (plus GST) will get you online for an entire year! You will have a complete, customized, dynamic six page web site complete with links to the company online catalogue.

Assuming you choose one of the site templates as provided by WordArt, the cost of designing your site is included in the $150 charge. If you would like a custom designed site, please contact WordArt for a quote. Also, be sure to contact other web-designers for quotations.

Nothing hidden. See??? Really! You can be online with a professional looking, 6 page website within a week. NO additional charges whatsoever for an entire year. However, if you want more (a la carte) -- check out the optional add-on features below.

There are four site styles available, each professionally designed for the exclusive use of Canadian UBAH consultants. To keep the costs affordable to all consultants, standardized looks are necessary.

sample one	sample two
sample three	sample four

Each website is entirely independent. All links are "internal" unless otherwise specified by you. Aside from the link to the online catalogue, there are no links from your site (unless you request them) that lead a surfer directly to another consultant's site. If you choose a branded catalogue offered by the company (UBAH) there will be no links directly from your catalogue to other other consultant's sites either. Linking the company's generic catalogue, presents the risk of your customers surfing to the company site, then off to other consultants' sites.

Yes, you sure can. There is a one-time $10 charge for this. You can choose to order a email "alias" of yourname@JustGreatBooks.com which can be forwarded to any valid email address. That means, if you change your Internet Service Provider and have to change your primary email address (or, worse yet, they change your email address for you as with home.com/shaw.ca in 2001) you will have a constant "book friendly" email address that will remain the same.

Very often the excitement of getting "online" makes it difficult to find just the right words to convey your thoughts. Sometimes, after visiting your new site several times (and after your husband, your best friend, your dad, the kids and your mother-in-law have offered their "suggestions") you may decide you want to make a few changes.

No problem! I will go in and edit your site once within the first 2 weeks of going "live" to fine tune and work out the nitty-gritties. All text edits (whether a few words, or a few paragraphs) from that point forward may be charged $10. (payment required before changes are made)

Nope. Sorry, it's a password thing.

Of course, as a leader you want to encourage your team to be listed online. It just makes good business sense. You can establish a feeling of team identity online while promoting your team's businesses (duplication!) and providing an "value added" bonus to your new and existing consultants.

Now you can add an additional "My Team" page to your JustGreatBooks website for a reduced one-time-setup-fee of $30.00 (regular charge to add additional pages is $45.00). On your "My Team" page, you can establish your team identity and list your team members: name, town & province, and email/web address. Each month you would email me changes (add, remove, modify) and these changes will be made promptly for an additional $50/year. Of course, all your team's websites (whether JustGreatBooks or not) will be linked to your "My Team" page -- just send me the info!

Here's how you can earn this service for free! Every time one of the consultants on your team purchases a JustGreatBooks website, you receive a price reduction of $10.00 in annual charges. This can really add up! If five of your team members buy a JustGreatBooks site, then the annual "My Team" page updates charge of $50 is waived completely on next year's invoice! If 10 of your team members buy a JustGreatBooks site within your first year with JustGreatBooks, then you receive a further reduction of $50 from the standard $150/annual charge. Pay only $100 next year! And so on...

How do I claim this discount? Simply email me each time one your team members order a JustGreatBooks and I will reduce your annual invoice by the $10 for each (before GST). Simple!

Wonderful! If you already have a website hosted elsewhere, you can still benefit from this plan. Using the colour scheme and graphics from your current site, five web pages would be provided for you -- each updated on the same schedule as indicated below. All pages hosted at www.JustGreatBooks.com/yourname will be linked directly back to your site. Most surfers will never know they left your original site!!! (and they will always be linked directly back to your site) The cost of this service is $150.00/year.

No. All sites must be paid for in advance. Your order for a JustGreatBooks site is conveniently placed online and will be processed within three days of receipt. Your site will be posted to the WWW as soon as a certified cheque or money order is received. Personal cheques (made out to WordArt) are accepted -- however there will be an additional waiting period of 2-3 business days until your personal cheque clears at the bank before your site is posted to the WWW. A service charge of $25 will be levied on all returned cheques (i.e. NSF).

When your site is created, a series of meta tags will be embedded into the coding of your file. Each page on your site will be coded with standard "keywords" to enable search engines to more readily find and list your site. All site promotion is up to you. There is a plethora of great information on the Web and at the library that will give you a lot more information about site promotion. Click here for more...

All sites in this program will have the web address of www.justgreatbooks.com/yourname, where "yourname" is whatever word you choose to use. See how short and catchy that address is? It fits really well on your business cards, brochures and all other correspondence. Bear in mind though, that once "yourname" is gone… it's gone for at least a year. Sign up now for the best selection.

Excellent question. You should consider your website as a very efficient, colourful and dynamic way of advertising your business. Your own website is an amazing tool for keeping in touch (24 hours a day / 7 days a week) with every customer you come across in your day to day business, at literacy fairs and other "big events"  and those you will soon meet online!

A website will allow you to establish and maintain customer loyalty.

By ensuring everyone you come across knows where to find you on the WWW (remember that short, catchy web address you now have?) you will be able to provide them with:

• the latest kit promotion and other recruiting incentives
• timely information of titles is currently in stock... and a hot-link directly to the interactive, user-friendly UBAH Online web-catalogue
• what is on promotion at the moment and in the near future
• what the current hostess benefits are at the moment and in the near future
• where to find you, what your phone number, fax and email addresses are
• why Usborne books are so special
• instant access to you via email and/or your feedback form (optional)
• a constant reminder that you are cutting-edge and serious about your business
• etc. etc.

Please do not go under the false assumption that a website will replace the established (and effective) method of promoting Usborne books and the UBAH business -- the one-on-one people contact. A website is a tool to help you promote your business, providing visitors to your site with loads of the kinds of information they are wanting: for example:

• is this business something I might want to do?
• is that book I want currently available?
• should I host a party this month, or next?
• etc.

?Can I accept orders from my site?

The JustGreatBooks basic web-sites do not currently offer secure order processing. Current and new customers contact you directly by email or phone to place orders. Customers will be able to browse through the online catalogue of available books (either your own personal branded catalogue, or the generic catalogue) and can contact you directly to order. Click here to find out more about the online catalogue.

?How long can this amazing service be available?

The JustGreatBooks program (a division of WordArt) is a carefully thought out venture intended to not only provide Usborne consultants across the country with their own affordable and dynamic web-presence, but also be self-sustaining and profitable. Any business offering quality products and superior customer service at a reasonable price will succeed (just like Usborne Books at Home!)

WordArt's pledge to you is:

• absolute integrity
• timely and accurate updates to your pages (see comments)
• an understanding of you, your business and your lifestyle. (actually, an intimate understanding!!!)

As a participant in this program, you understand the fact that this is program is designed to best fulfill your need for a current, dynamic web site... the cost is very very affordable. Please respect that any additional work to your site (not mentioned below) will be subject to WordArt's current charge out rate.

?Do you have a rate chart I can see?

Using the above chart as reference, you can see that a new website with JustGreatBooks will cost you between $150 and $395 for the first year. Renewal costs for each subsequent year (payable on the anniversary of your start-date with JustGreatBooks) will be invoiced at $150 (add $50 if My Team page option is chose) again next year to continue the service. This charge remains true regardless of what the current price charged at that time. Click here to find out how you can receive significant discounts. Of course, the one time fees are exactly that, and will not be re-invoiced. :o)

GST will be added at the time of invoicing.

?When someone finds me via a search engine, will they also get all the other Consultant web sites?  So then I am competing with other consultants.

Yes, each site will have relatively equal chances of showing on search engines -- that is the nature of the WWW (more info). Although search engines are an important means for being "found" on the web, there are so many other ways to drive visitors to your site... listing yourself on work-at-home directories, local business directories, women's associations, children's products directories etc etc. The options available for promoting your site are endless.

Of course, you want to make sure your web address appears on absolutely EVERY printed bit of promotional material that leaves your home. The idea of this site is to provide timely information to a target audience, so they continue to come back again and again. The more unique visits you get to your site, the higher your ranking will go on many of the most popular search engines -- so current, dynamic and timely CONTENT is very important.

?The customers will be looking for a site to buy Usborne Books from.  I think you said that we wouldn't be able to do that on line, and I understand why.  So, we would then be taking orders from "who knows where"?

No... not necessarily. Some customers will be looking to buy Usborne Books online. Most won't. Statistics tell us that most consumers are still wary of using their credit card on the Internet. Think about this: When you use the 'net, are you mostly looking for information, or are you wanting to rush out and make a purchase? Do you always use a search engine to find what you want, or log on to sites you know exist and return to them on a regular basis?

As mentioned earlier, this site's intention is to provide timely information to people who (by whatever means) go directly to YOUR site. Think of a website as a form of advertising, not automatic order-gathering. A website will allow you to establish and maintain customer loyalty.

Please do not go under the false assumption that a website will replace the established (and effective) method of promoting Usborne books and the UBAH business -- the one-on-one people contact. A website is a tool to help you promote your business, providing visitors to your site with loads of the kinds of information they are wanting: for example:

• is this business something I might want to do?
• is that book I want currently available?
• should I host a party this month, or next?
• etc.

?$150 per year.  Can you convince me that I could recover the cost?  I realize there are no guarantees

No... I can't convince you of anything. You are a prudent business person, and will make your own decision on how best to promote your business. However, I think the program speaks for itself. Is this a question you ask to home office when you order brochures.... to the printer when you order business cards... to the newspaper when you place your classified ad....? Probably not, a question you must ask yourself is-- will you use your website to promote your business? If so, then you will see rewards.

A Website is a promotional tool, and should be thought of as one.

Do you still have a question that you do not see answered here? Send an email, and we will respond as quickly as possible.
