Are you ready to build a web site for your garden center? Or do you already have a custom web site but are frustrated with the high cost of updating and maintaining it? Then the Online Garden Center is for you.

Striking a balance between a professional look-and-feel and ease-of-maintenance, the Online Garden Center provides you with the ability to build and maintain a web site—an online garden center—at a fraction of the cost of a custom site, with very little long-term maintenance or update costs. In fact, you can easily log in using a web browser and update and maintain your online garden center, which ensures that you can keep your content, promotions, and information up-to-date at minimal cost and effort.

The Online Garden Center, though, is not a one-size fits all template site package. Instead, the Online Garden Center provides you with a wide range of layouts and color patterns for your site and lets you quickly and easily upload the images you want for use anywhere in your site. Additionally, the web site you create is yours—there are no logos or promotions from us or any other sponsor—the brand communicated in your site is yours and yours alone.

With our PlantAmerica AnswerBook we have blended relevant, reliable, and timely content with an easy-to-use application to provide the must-have knowledge management application for green industry professionals.
