A domain name registrar is an organization or commercial entity that manages the reservation of Internet domain names. They are accredited (very official) and manages the domain name in accordance with the guidelines of the designated domain name registries. These registries require fees and they have nothing to do with your hosting or design fees.

In essence you could own a domain name for years paying your yearly fee and don’t have hosting or a website or blog.

OPD goes through these very official entities to register your domain name. The fee that is required is $35.00 per year. You pay for your domain name every year. Although the fee is paid through OPD they don’t go to OPD they are paid to the domain name registrar.

A domain name is what your site will be called or a better way of putting is the address in which to find your site.

For example our site address is https://onepurpledeer.com.

Once a client has selected a domain name and selected their extension .com,.net,.org,.info,.us,.club,.name,.ninja,.guru,.social.,.me,.co,.io it costs $35.00 to register that name and extension. It can take around 48 hours before the new domain name is registered (visible when you type in address).

It is important to realize that the Domain Name Registration Fee is not part of your design and or hosting fees.

Yes, though any website/blog not hosted by OPD must be paid in full before the site will be release for uploading to your host.

OPD does our own graphic ceation or purchase high quality photos and graphics. This allows us to maintain the high quality of the website or blog look offering extremely high quality designs and layouts.  HOWEVER, if you have certain photos and/or graphics you want to be a part of your blog or website, there is a place in the content form you fill out where you can submit them to us, and we will do our best to integrate them into the site somewhere. There is no guarantee though that all the graphics or photos you provide will be used in the actual layout of the site.

In most cases nothing will be lost. However we strongly recommend that you make a back up of your site before work begins. We can assist in you contacting your host to provide this backup.

For websites or blogs not hosted by OnePurpleDeer.com or OPDsites.com you will need to contact your webhost for details.

For websites or blogs that are hosted by OnePurpleDeer.com or OPDsites.com we will create an account for you. Once your account has been created you have access to rich back-end features that will help you update, edit, and change your site as needed. At anytime that you need support you can reach us through our support system.

Well first things first, it is our intention that you never have a reason to transfer your site elsewhere. But on those rare such occassions all the content on the site that you’ve written, and you’ve provided is yours.

The graphics and content that we have created as well as the layout are ours and cannot be taken with you until full payment is made or all 28 subscription plan payments haves have been made.

There is a very valid reason for this.  We offer better than reasonable pricing  and it has been our experience that some less than scrupulous people have taken advantage of our pricing just to take all our hard work, and then leave soon after we’ve completed their project design. Thus this is a way of protecting OnePurpleDeer.com from those who take our services and run.

Once  any outstanding balances and/or subscriptions have been paid in its entirety, the client is free to take their design and any customized graphics that OnePurpleDeer.com has created and do as with them as they choose.

Minor changes like text, color and photo modifications can be made at no to minimal costs; However more detailed or elaborate modifications may have a cost associated with it. OPD will contact you via email with a proposal that will outline the new modifications and pricing. At that time you can decide if you wish to move forward with your modifications.
