How IT literate do I need to be?
miCreator.com is an intuitive system that allows users to build, edit and manage their web site using a control panel based on popular PC based word processing packages. So, if you've ever written a letter using a PC, you will be able to use miCreator.com to build your web site.

That said we do allow more experienced users to edit via the word processing software or via HTML - so miCreator.com can appeal to the complete novice or the adventurous user.

How much does it cost?
miCreator.com costs only £29.99 a month for a professional web site that you control 24:7.

How flexible is miCreator.com?
miCreator.com allows users to add unique content - text, photographs, logos, spreadsheets and much more - to a highly professional template driven web site. This means that miCreator.com is as flexible as you make it.

miCreator.com allows users to add new pages at will, delete old pages, upload and manage photographs and images, add images to any page in any position, edit text colour, font size and font design and even change the complete look and feel of their site at any time.

Not only that but because miCreator.com is a web-based programme, users can edit their web site from any internet enabled PC in the world.

Don't all template driven web sites look the same?
In some respects yes. But trawl the web and compile a list of the best web sites around (best looking and most user friendly) and you will notice that these sites behave and look very similar.

We have taken this design ethos in building our templates - they must look good but they must also behave in a way that users will expect (accessible navigation and constant style within a design). As such users of miCreator.com have reported that they site's visitors have been positive in their feedback and have enlisted the services they advertise.

Change your template
To underline our flexibility we do allow users to design and send us their own template. This means that their web site will look completely different from any other web sites created on our system.

Can I set up e-commerce with miCreator.com?
Yes and with varying degrees of complexity and outcome (i.e. E-commerce affiliate schemes etc)

NOTE: We advise users to be competent in HTML coding or to contact us to discuss e-commerce requirements.

I own a domain name. Can I use it with a miCreator.com web site?
The short answer is yes. miCreator.com is hosted on a partner site which allows users to transfer, purchase and generally manage their domain names.

This ties together the procedure of URL pointing to your miCreator.com very well indeed - we point www.yourname.com to www.yourname.micreator.com so that users see the former URL rather than the latter.

How does the text editor work?
miCreator.com's online web page editor is called ERIC. It works much in the same way as other well known word processing packages. This means that the icons used in change text font and colour, adding images and tables, creating hyper links etc will look an act in familiar ways to people who have at least a limited experience of PC word processing software.

Can I add my own images?
Yes. miCreator.com allows you to add an unlimited amount of images which you can then add you ANY web pages you wish.

We also allow users to add a logo across all pages of their web site. This makes miCreator.com the ideal solution for small-to-medium sized companies.

Can I updtae my web site at any time?
Yes. As long as you can gain access to an internet enabled PC, you will be able to update and alter your miCreator.com web site.

How much customer support is given?
miCreator.com is extremely intuitive - which means customer support is rarely needed. That said, the miCreator.com team are on hand to discuss your requirements either via telephone or e-mail.

What will I need to use miCreator.com?
The miCreator.com user will need:

• Access to an internet-enabled PC
