When you set up a website one of the first things you have to do is purchase a domain name, which, much like a car registration, you are required to renew every year. Hosting is the same. You need to find a hosting company and then pay them monthly, yearly or somewhere in between, depending on each hosting companies terms.

At WaiStore we have made the journey much easier. We take care of the hosting and your domain name, which will look something like https://www.waistore.nz/yourbusinessnamehere/ Of course, if you have your own domain name already we can still use this by forwarding it to your store using domain mapping.

Once you have decided on which theme you would like (wordpress themes page) then send us a store application and we will get your website up and running in no time at all. The initial start up costs for your site will be $350.00 This is a one off cost and will include any necessary training to get you comfortable with running your site on your own.

Ongoing costs once setup is complete, will be a monthly fee of $7.50. If you pay yearly you will get 2 months free so you will only be paying $75.00. We do allow for a few minor changes or tweaks to your theme, however, in order to keep our prices fair any major changes or ongoing design work will be chargeable at $35.oo hr. If the initial costs are a concern then we are happy to allow you to pay this in installments of $50 mth as long as you are willing to commit to us for a minimum of one year.

Part of our ongoing service to you is keeping your site code up to date. We run WaiStore using WordPress with MultiSite which is a very popular content management system that’s been around for years and has been tried and tested by millions of users worldwide. Seriously, I googled it and it actually says its around 74 million. That’s a lot of testing.

So what do you do now?? Fill in our store application form here and we will contact you once we have received your application.
