Add Me To The List!Webspace
"When a hosting provider allocates space on a web server for a website to store its files, they are hosting a website. Web hosting makes the files that comprise a website (code, images, etc.) available for viewing online. Every website you’ve ever visited is hosted on a server."
Wix, Squarespace, Wordpress also offer packages to build your web presence.
You're responsible for designing your site, and this can be overwhelming simply because of the hundreds of themes and templates you can choose from.
Your options? Do it yourself or hire a web designer - both will cost you hundreds of $$$ (remember, your time is valuable too!)
We want to focus on providing you with the easiest way possible to get your pages published, without the rigmarole, and the cost.

Call To Action Signup Forms
"A signup form is a web page, popup, or modal where users enter the information required to access that website’s services. The information collected is determined by the nature of the website and the services it offers."
- collecting cold leads from people who want to be kept up to date
- collecting emails from people wanting to signup for your newsletter
- collecting information for the purpose of registering for your upcoming event
- lots of other things, limited only by your goal
Like this page, it's primary purpose is to ask for your name and email address to join our mailing list to let you know when we launch The Toolkit.
And you get this same opportunity - simple, no fuss.

Mailing Lists
"A mailing list is a collection of names and addresses used by an individual or an organization to send material to multiple recipients. The term is often extended to include the people subscribed to such a list, so the group of subscribers is referred to as "the mailing list", or simply "the list.""
Depending on what your goal is, your sign-up forms direct a users' details into a mailing list, that you can use to contact your users whenever you need.
You might have heard the term: "The Money Is In The List"
This is true, but use your mailing list wisely. The best way to use your mailing list is to "educate/value, educate/value, educate/value/promo, educate/value/sell"
(Simply put, I have been inundated with sales pitches from various lists I've subscribed to - always the "sell" thing - guess what I did?)
We can help you set up your mailing list campaigns using The Toolkit so that you can avoid the dreaded "unsubscribe from this list" action.

E-commerce
"Ecommerce, also known as electronic commerce or internet commerce, refers to the buying and selling of goods or services using the internet, and the transfer of money and data to execute these transactions. Ecommerce is often used to refer to the sale of physical products online, but it can also describe any kind of commercial transaction that is facilitated through the internet."
Both are great options if you've already started your business, and are making sales. WooCommerce is free (can be) but it's paid plugins are often not. Or, free, but are pretty dodgy. (Personal experience speaking)
Then, you still need a payment processor plugin or setup to actually enable you to get paid.
We have an ecommerce platform that we're working on, and it will require the very minimal information from you.
We'll do all the rest, and ensure you get paid.

Accounting
"Accounting, also known as accountancy, is the measurement, processing, and communication of financial and non financial information about economic entities such as businesses and corporations. Accounting, which has been called the "language of business", measures the results of an organization's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of stakeholders, including investors, creditors, management, and regulators."
Xero, MYOB, Quickbooks etc - all are great, but if you're just starting out, why pay their monthly fees when we can provide a solution as part of The Toolkit?
Yes, and it supports Australia.

Emails
"Email hosting is a Web or Internet hosting service which rents out and operates email servers."
