Features & Functionality

Marketing Tools

Promoting your eCommerce website built with Network Solutions website builder is very easy since you have everything set in place for you: social sharing buttons, search engine optimized website code, and XML sitemaps, not to mention being eligible for MonsterMarketplace submission.

Intuitive website builder

The design tool with which you can build a website is really easy to use. It lacks some of the features that are present in modern website building tools but it can still get the job done.

Huge stock image library

Network Solutions maintains a stock image library that contains a large number of stock images that can be used for website customization.

Personalized email

When you buy a subscription, you also get a personalized email address that matches your registered domain and gives your brand a more professional look.

Design & Templates

With a good number of professional layouts and customizable website templates available, Network Solutions’ site builder is a great choice for all those who want to have nice looking product pages with minimal investment. However, if you want to fully customize your online store’s design, Network Solutions has three one-time-fee packages available.

Ease of Use

Network Solutions is not that easy to use at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s well worth it. Especially if you haven’t used a website builder before, you will face a steep learning curve.

I will not be selling anything on the website I will create. My objective is to look good while I am applying for SBIR grants and talking to investors. I have laid out what I want to show as a word file and there is a link to a youtube video I have created and will soon modify. I understand that your 300 GB package does not include the actual website design. Can I give you my own design or am I required to use your template?

Answer
Network Solutions does offer a plan where they build the site for you. You need to contact them for a personal quote as the price varies based on what exactly you want.
