Originally, we built the Accord.gg website network to aim at streamers and gaming groups, but the features are fantastic for artists/creators/makers/small businesses.
Our website builder is a special type of WordPress site — through Accord.gg your site will be preloaded with a customizable pro theme, as well as plugins that support your selling/marketing efforts. The best part is that we keep the themes and plugins updated so that you don’t have to mess with the minutia. The full description of what is offered with a website built on the Accord network is available here:
DIY Website – Hosted by Accord
Build your website on a trusted unlimited network with the tools you need included!
The hosting for each site on the Accord.gg network is $3.99/month (or save with a $39.99 annual subscription). You can use your own domain name from any registrar (like foodblog.com), a subdomain (like foodblog.accord.gg), or order a domain through Accord ($25/year). Websites on the Accord network each come with your choice of a professional email address, like yourname@foodblog.com — if you need additional professional email addresses, we can set it up ($0.99/email address/month or save with a $9.99 annual subcription per email address). Plus, we will be available to assist with road blocks.
The beauty of a WordPress site is that it is easy to integrate services that you already use into the website. For example, you can set your website store to use your Square account to process payments, plus the inventory can be synced between Square (for in-person sales) and the website store. If you use a shipping label service like ShipStation or Pirate Ship for non-local orders, you can put that service right into your website store orders. You can allow local customers to choose to pick up at a store/event, and you can have a hand-delivery option. Your orders online can have an opt-in for an email campaign system like MailChimp as well, which you can use for ongoing marketing to generate repeat customers.
In addition to working with services that you already use, Accord.gg sites are ready to integrate with Google Analytics, Google store listings, Facebook/Instagram Shops, Pinterest Stores, Google AdSense, Amazon Affiliate, and more.
Unlike other website platforms, this website builder does NOT limit the number of administrative users, customer accounts, website pages, blog posts, or store products. Websites built on the Accord.gg network have unlimited users, unlimited pages, unlimited posts, and unlimit products. You will never have to worry about reaching a cap on the Accord network. Our sites also come with an SSL certificate, which some services will charge extra for. You need an SSL certificate for secure transactions, so we never host a site without it.
The possibilities are endless with WordPress, and if there is ever a feature you wish we had, we’d always be happy to look into adding it. Our goal is to help small businesses to be successful, and we rather like undermining the big companies that prey on entrepreneurs. We’re real people — a handful of tech-savvy ladies based in St. Louis, Missouri. We will genuinely offer assistance where we can. Let us know how you would like to move forward, and we can get things started for you!
