All communications for website setup and maintenance should be sent to webupdate@onpassage.com

 

Before starting the process, please email us on the above email address and tell us you would like to have a website so that we can provide extra help if required and to make sure we receive all your information correctly.

 

Step 1 - Text for your site

 

Prepare the text you would like on your site. Look at our Demo website and type up the initial information you would like placed on your website. For ease of formatting you could for example use a word document for each page of the website. Be sure to place headings where you want them, and set up your paragraphs etc. the way you would like to see them on the site.

 

Step 2 - Photo's for your site

 

Now select the photo's you want on each page and in the banner at the top of the page (the banner photo can be a logo, or whatever you want, it will be at the top left of each page).

 

If you have digital photo's already then just select the ones you want and send them to us via an email attachment. Please note that there may well be a limit on the size of the emails you can send. If you have problems then either send each photo in a different email and/or reduce the size of the photo if you are able to.

If you have problems just let us know and we will help.

 

If you do not have digital photo's then you can take your negatives to a photo shop and have them scanned and put onto a CD. If you have lost the negatives but have the photo you can do the same, have them scanned and put on CD.  You can then follow the email instructions above.

 

Be sure to label the photo's so that we know where you want them in the website.

 

 

Step 3 - Send us your text and photo's

 

Once you have got the text and photo's ready send them to us at the special email address webupdate@onpassage.com . Please ensure your Yacht name is in the title of all email communications. Wait until we send you an email confirmation that all is received OK and that we have enough information to proceed.  This means that we can confirm everything prior to you committing to a payment. Then you come back into this page and proceed from Step 4 below.

 

 

Step 4 - Decide which option you would like and make your payment

(you can upgrade or downgrade to another option whenever you like).

Step 5 - Send us your regular updates

 

Send us an email with your regular journals and position updates. If you are not
