Frequently Asked Questions

How does this service attract viewers and potential clients?

We use the low cost methods of internet search engines, and limited advertising in illustration annuals. This allows us to offer you a great rate for using our service. Future promotions will involve targeted mail campaigns, and cross listing on other web sites.

Will my name be given to others?

No. Our membership list and client list will not be sold or given away. Visitors who sign up for the E-Letter (a brief e-mail newsletter with links to information about science, medical, and nature images) will also not have to worry either. We may occasionally pass along interesting information from other commercial entities to you through the E-Letter, but not often and not to excess. We value our clients and visitors. Participants are in the site to publish their services. So we will happily recommend to interested clients and visitors the information you publish on the site. Your business information will be accessible to others, that's what you are paying for.

Can I use a credit card to purchase this service?

Yes! You may pay for a year's subscription or other services though http://www.paypal.com. PayPal is a global organization allowing you to transfer money in a number of countries. You can quickly establish an account on-line and transfer money to other members from your checking or credit card accounts. Visit the Service Cost page to find links that will speed the PayPal payment process. If you do not want to use that PayPal on-line service, you may send a check. See the Service Cost page for details.
