You can view pricing details here. Depending on your Package, there is a monthly fee and a setup fee. The best way to look at it is that the setup fee gets you going and the monthly fee keeps you going. Once your new website is up, it costs as little as $2.50 per day to operate (Bronze package), and again, as little as $9.85 per day (Diamond package) on Dedicated Hosting. The setup fee is a nominal charge, and it includes everything associated with getting online. You may also wish to use our specialist services, and if you do, then we will quote you the prices accordingly. Apply for a free quote and we'll email you a proposal including costs, time and scope. How is it possible that you can do it at such low cost?
We strive to offer all our clients the best online selling experience without compromising the quality of our services. We can do this for a number of reasons:
Can I provide my own payment gateway instead of PayPal?
PayPal is a secure and accepted payment solution that suits most businesses, and they don't charge monthly or setup fees so we offer PayPal by default. We also have partnerships with Advam gateway solutions. Yes, you may wish to implement your own payment gateway. In which case our programming boffins will develop a link to your nominated gateway. Most banking systems, such as CBA Commweb and ANZ E-Gate, work fine. However, a handful of systems exhibit compatibility issues, so we ask you to advise us of your nominated payment gateway ASAP to avoid confusion. Your package seems very complete, however, are there any other costs that I should be aware of?
As explained in the questions above, and throughout the website literature, there are no hidden fees or charges. You will be quoted the prices clearly in writing and before making any payment. You may also be interested in various additional services, which will also be priced separately. We try to avoid suprises (unpleasant ones, that is)! Of course, if you keep changing your mind or misrepresent any information that leads to additional work or re-work, in which case you would be responsible for any additional costs. I want to use my own web designer, can you accomodate this?
There are numerous Free Template designs to choose from. Should you require a particular web design, our designers can provide you with professionally finished Custom Template design. You can be confident that all our websites are easy to navigate, attractive, search engine optimised and above all, guaranteed to work with Dragon CMS. More often than not, our prices are cheaper than going through a 3rd party designer because our team is highly proficient. You can provide us with a pre-designed Template of your own. We are also happy to liaise with designers or artists at your choosing. I get emails from people who ask me to pay for improving my website's search rankings. Is it worthwhile?
Unfortunately, we get these emails too! Generally, these emails should be considered spam and ignored. The basis for what they are offering is usually misrepresented or simply designed to con you. In our experience, even with legitimate offers, these services seldom deliver! Dragon CMS includes integrated Search Engine Optimisation and website Analytics, so there is no need to engage in so-called "SEO Specialists" anyway. Furthermore, should you require additional marketing thrust, our team can assist you with achieving your traffic and search placement goals. What is the process behind setting up my new website?
We provide you with ongoing support. We can arrange for training at your business premises. Note: You will need a valid ABN number and documentation showing your business name and proof of address (bank statement or utility bill). I am an overseas investor looking to establish operations in Australia. What services can you provide me?
Dragon CMS, in conjunction with our sister company and strategic partners, can offer turn key solutions to overseas investors. This includes:
Please email turnkey@prodigywebservices.com. How long will it take before I can start selling online?
It varies depending on the complexity of your project and the speed which you are able to provide information. Uploading product information typically takes the longest, and we advise large businesses to plan this out. Please be prepared to minimise any hold ups. Websites usually become fully operational between 4-8 weeks. I have 4 staff members. Can I control what each person can or can't do?
Dragon CMS has a Role Management feature that allows you to create custom Roles and assign them to individual Admin accounts. Furthermore, you can create unlimited number of Admin accounts, perfect for businesses with many employees! How many products can I add to the database?
We do not impose artificial limits to the size of your product database. In other words, you can add as many products as you require! Typically the Bronze package supports 100+ products, Silver supports 2,000+ products, Gold supports 5,000+ products and the Diamond package supports 10,000+ products. However, because everything that you store takes up some space on the servers, eventually you will reach your limit on your chosen package plan. We will notify you when you reach your hosting limit so that you can upgrade it without interrupting website operations. Easy peasy! When I search for "Dragon CMS" I get conflicting results!
Dragon CMS and the web domain www.dragoncms.com.au is trademarked within Australia. Don't confuse Dragon CMS with "White Dragon CMS", "Moon Dragon", "PHP Blue Dragon", or "Blue Dragon CMS" - these websites have no affiliation with us. Have an unanswered question?
