Become a PixelMill SiteBuilder

Who is the PixelMill SiteBuilder Program for?

PixelMill SiteBuilders are typically Web designers and developers who are looking for ways to keep their skills and their sites on the leading edge of technology. As a SiteBuilder, you will have access to a wide selection of tools, discounts, and information, as well as special benefits focused on providing you with visibility and support. By making use of PixelMill web templates, SiteBuilders can help their customers develop a professional web site at a fraction of the cost it would take to design the site from scratch.

Benefits of the SiteBuilder Program

• Members get a 10% discount on products from participating PixelMill Developers
  When you log in to PixelMill as a Site Builder, you'll see the retail and SiteBuilder-discounted prices on products. You'll also see that some products are discounted 10% from PixelMill Developers who are participating in the SiteBuilder Developer program. You'll get your discount simply by being a SiteBuilder - no need for coupon codes!
  Coupons and other special offers will not apply to SiteBuilder-discounted products, but may be used with other products.
• Access to PixelMill Custom Catalog System
  As a SiteBuilder, you'll be able to create your own custom catalog of PixelMill products* to display on your own site! PixelMill has great online tools to help you build and display your catalog.
  *Only products available from participating Developers.

How does the SiteBuilder Program work?

1. Application
   Fill out the online application. PixelMill contacts you when the application has been reviewed and you've been accepted as a SiteBuilder! This can take from 2 - 10 business days.
2. Log-in to enter your SiteBuilder area.
   Log-in at PixelMill, then click on the SiteBuilder tab to enter your SiteBuilder area. (You can set this to be your default login page if you wish.)
3. Your SiteBuilder Home Page...
   Your SiteBuilder area home page shows your recent orders for quick access. You'll also find some useful tools and links: a link to the SiteBuilder Newsletter, ...
4. Create a Custom Catalog! Or create a couple Catalogs!
   Within the SiteBuilder area is a special page where you can build custom catalogs. This administrative area will help you to add or delete products from your custom catalog, and contains instructions on how to integrate the catalog into your own web site. In the PixelMill custom catalog, you'll see an "Add to catalog" button next to products that are from participating Developers to easily add products to your custom catalogs (see diagram at right). You can choose what information to display in your catalog - if you only want screenshots to show, or if you want the prices and links to "see in action", and more! You may build a custom catalog using products only from participating Developers.
5. Shop for your products...
   At any time, you may shop at PixelMill to purchase products. When you check out and pay for your order, the discounted price will automatically apply - there's no need to enter a special coupon code!
