Frequently asked questions

Payment & Billing

How could you be offering all this for $99?

The real question is “how can they be asking more than $99 for less?” WebsiteBox is able to offer a great value because we use state-of-the-art technology, because we have a low overhead, and because we offer a fair price instead of “what the market will bear”.

Are there any hidden fees?

We hope not. Our entire business premise is based on offering a good value and being transparent in how we do business. There are extra fees for some add-ons, extras, and consumable items but we are always very clear about anything that will cost you more.

Can I try WebsiteBox for free before I buy it?

Wouldn’t that be wonderful! But, sadly, no. We want to keep our overhead low. In order to be comfortable that it is what we say it is, we would rather you just take your time and study our offers, see our demonstrations, or perhaps plan on talking to some of our many users. We can hook you up with some if you like. Also we offer a 30-day, no questions asked money back guarantee.

Do you offer any money back guarantee?

Yes. If at any time during your first 30 days of using WebsiteBox, you’re not completely satisfied that you’ve received the best value in real estate websites, you will be refunded 100% of your payment – no questions asked.

What methods of payment do you accept?

We only accept VISA and MasterCard processed online. For orders of more than 50 units, and with suitable credit, we will accept purchase orders.

Can I pay by cheque?

No. At this time, we only accept VISA or MasterCard.

Can I purchase more than one website?

Please do! The whole point of offering this type of value was to let realtors be aggressive about their use of the web. Get a site to promote every new property you list. Add a neighborhood site. Seriously, at $99 you can afford to have multiple sites. Keep in mind that you don't need to open a new account in order to purchase additional websites. Just login to WebsiteBox control panel and click on app store icon and follow the instructions.

What is included with my WebsiteBox account?

Essentially everything you need to get up and running. See what's included here.

Do I need to purchase hosting with a different provider?

Nope. It’s included. Forever. Really.

How do I purchase apps and extras?

Your site will come with a “control panel”. That control panel will let you do everything – modify your existing site, or add things to it. Keep in mind, you don’t have to purchase apps or extras for your website – these are completely optional. Click here for more information about apps & extras.

Do I have to pay extra for product updates?

Problem fixes or minor functionality changes are made automatically and for no-charge. From time to time we will announce new versions of WebsiteBox which will have new apps, functions or additions to it – if you decide to upgrade to the next version you must pay for it. You can always keep your existing version and are not forced into upgrading to new versions.

Is MLS coverage included? Are there additional fees?

We have done data integrations with over 120 MLS associations across USA and Canada. All of our websites include our IDX solution without charge from WebsiteBox. You may, however, be required to pay a MLS data fee to your MLS association. Our MLS coverage page will show you exactly which MLS’s charge for their data.

Is there a contract?

Like any software product, when you purchase WebsiteBox, you are purchasing a perpetual license to use it. There are “terms of service” - those can be read here.
