 Website Development - You asked for it – You got it!
Need help setting up your website and establishing a true business image, AREA can assist. Now you have no excuse for conducting business with an email sounding un-professional. Stop advertising Yahoo with your email. Instead, advertise YOUR business by using a professional email address.
AREA has worked with a few students already and will be announcing soon how we can provide any student with a professional email address at “yourdomainname.com” and a professional brochure website – all for just $129. With new plans by AREA you will be able to select your domain name and email address – both will be owned and controlled by YOU! The email address will be your PERMANENT email address and can be used with any internet service provider – so you will never have to change email addresses again. Imagine - your customers do not have to know who bought what - BellSouth - AT&T - Alltell - Windstream.
As a separate service, website hosting can be provided. AREA has a small monthly website hosting fee of $12.95 per month, but you can use what you are presently using or choose any hosting service. So, if you are currently mom3@aol.com – do yourself a favor and give your professional image a boost and become MarySmith@SmithAppraisal.com.
If you want more than a basic package, AREA will have Student Business Plans with as many as 100 email addresses at yourdomain.com as well as more robust websites to choose from. We are working with the students who already contacted AREA for help. If you want to upgrade now, send us a note at education@area-ga.com and we will help. More details will be posted soon.
 Do You Use Your Credit Card? Well, so do your customers!
If you are not taking credit cards – you may be taking unnecessary risk with payments and even worse – you may be losing business. Real estate appraisers and home inspectors can expect sales to increase by taking payments by credit cards. Your competition is taking credit cards and you need to take them too.
If you think that establishing an account is a lot of trouble or that the costs are high, let AREA introduce you to the service we use. This is the simplest, easiest, and least costly service we were able to find and they are located right here in Alpharetta. We have been so pleased with the service the last five years that we have partnered with them to offer our students this low cost merchant account.
With a Charge.com merchant account you will be able to receive payments through your website or process electronically all payments you receive over the phone or in person. The service includes all credit cards, debit cards, and on-line checks. This company caters to small business and offers AREA students:
 Free Setup Free Application Free Technical Support
Free Shopping Cart Software Free Internet Check Software Free Search Engine Submission

Appraisal Software by Alamode - Discounted by AREA
There’s appraisal software out there that’s so stripped down its salespeople tout it as “simple”. But simple doesn’t help you get all the pieces of your report pulled together quickly. And then there’s appraisal software out there that’s so out dated and archaic they call it “stable”. That means you’re working with tools that haven’t been updated since the 90’s.
