Tips for using the Project Board
-
Simply click inside any box to add or delete text.
-
ALWAYS click the Submit Changes Button AFTER entering in any NEW information to SAVE your data. Click that button as often as you would like, the more the better, you don't want to lose the information you've worked so hard to input.
-
For the best performance, this should be done on a laptop and/or desktop with a good connection to Wi-Fi.
I am always looking for ways to improve. If you have any feedback on how my process
works and would like to share how I can improve, please email me and let me know.

Accepting Payments Online
If you would like to accept tuition or enrollment fee payments on your website, please provide the following information.
Please note we only offer PayPal at this time. Please understand that PayPal charges a fee, so you may want to add an additional convenience fee. If a parent does not have a PayPal account, they can still pay using a Debit or Credit card by checking out as a Guest on PayPal. They will not have to log in or create an account with PayPal. It will however ask for their email address, so that they may receive a receipt.

Website Content
*We are not responsible for providing professional copywriting or editing services*
This is sometimes the hardest part of the process. So to help out, I will give examples of what other providers put on their websites.
Please understand, content is provided by you. You know your childcare business more than anyone else. So that is why we ask you to provide the content.
Note: Please provide all of your content (website verbiage, pricing, etc…) either here on your Project Board or in a Word document (no screenshots, scans, or photos of typed information). No exceptions can be made.

How it Works
SAVE THIS PAGE LINK
Please SAVE this page, with your unique URL, to your desktop or laptop, so that you may come back as often as you need, to input your information.
PROJECT BOARD
I've set up this project management board to help us throughout the consulting and developing process.
SAVING YOUR INFO
This system saves data when you click the Submit Changes button. This means you don't have to complete all of the information in one go and can come back as often as you need to.
For the best performance, information added to your project board
should be done from a laptop and/or desktop.
Photos for your website.
It is your responsibility to supply photo/graphic files via email. You should always supply photographs in high-resolution for the best outcome. No pictures? No problem. Free online images safe for your website can be found on websites such as pixabay.com, rawpixel.com, unsplash.com, and pexels.com.
Please email me all of the images that you would like added to your site. For the highest quality, professional photos are recommended. DO NOT send any pictures/images in a Word document or Facebook messenger as this decreases the resolution and quality of images.
If you do not have any professional photos or no time to look for free stock images yourself, just let me know and I will choose two free stock photos, per page, for you. The images I choose are not negotiable, I will not change out images I've chosen for your website if you do not like them. Please understand searching for images can become very time-consuming.
*An additional fee of $50 will be sent in the form of an invoice if photos are not provided and research is necessary.*
Logos and Images should always be sent as attachments in an email (you can send multiple pictures in one email). Please send your logo in PNG format (transparent) only.
An Important Link for You!
Let me know if you have any questions.
