WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PROVIDE?

For us to start on a new website for your business, we will need a few things from you.

1. Purchase a Domain Name:
   We will need you to purchase a domain to use for your website and then send us the login credentials to access your domain account, for example with GoDaddy. You will need to visit www.godaddy.com and create a new account and then do a domain search to find the domain you want to use and purchase it. You don’t need any privacy or protection add-ons for your domain that GoDaddy will try to sell you. After you create an account and purchase your domain, please send me your username and password to access your account. If a 2-step authentication process is set up on your account you may need to coordinate a time in which to send us that information. We will let you know if we need to work with you on that process. If you already have a domain that you’d like to use, we’ll just need the login credentials to access your account.
   
   
2. Company Information:
   Please email us your phone, email address (For compliance reasons, IAMS Wealth Management sites must use the email provided by IAMS Wealth Management unless compliance has set up a Global Relay account with your service), physical address, and any other contact information you would like represented on the site used to contact your business. We will also need you to send us a short bio about yourself and your business along with a photo of yourself and your staff if you’d like to include that on your website. I’ve attached our bio-guide that can help with writing a biography. You can also review our website examples below to see how our other agents have written their bios on their sites.
   
   
3. Logo or Business Name:
   If you have a logo for your business, we ask that you send it to us. If we created a logo for you, we will have that on file. We prefer to have a logo already created before we start the website process. Logos are not included with your website design, there is a separate fee. If you need additional information please reach out to your sales director for pricing information and the amount of marketing dollars that can be applied to your creative services.
   
   
4. Website Agreement Form:
   Attached to this email is a website agreement form. This form gives us the financial information needed in order to bill you for your website design and/or monthly hosting fee. This form must be completed before we start the website design process and will be charged accordingly once the site is live. This must be filled out even if your $899 website built-out is waived, or you plan on using marking dollars for your hosting fees.
   
   
5. Creative Design Questionnaire:
   If you have not completed the creative design questionnaire for previous projects. Please fill it out and return it back to us. This gives us guidance on what your brand represents.

Feel free to email back or call me at 800-255-5055 if you have any questions or would like to discuss things further. If you’re ready to start this process please fill out the website agreement and email that back to me along with the other items we need and then we can get started on things for you.
