Orders

Use Orders to request more websites and follow active website work

What Orders Is For

Orders is where you request more website work for your business.

That can include:

  • ordering a new website
  • following the status of a website build
  • checking whether intake is complete
  • seeing whether work is queued, building, live, or finished

Use this page when you are starting new website work or checking where an existing request stands.

Common Order Flow

  1. Open Orders.
  2. Start a new website order when that option is available.
  3. Fill in the requested intake details.
  4. Submit the order.
  5. Return to the order status page to track progress.

What To Prepare Before Ordering

Orders move faster when your intake is clear.

Try to have:

  • the business name and main contact
  • the main service or offer
  • the target city or service area
  • any important photos, logos, or files
  • notes about what the website should achieve

What Each Status Usually Means

| Status | What it usually means | What you should do | |--------|------------------------| | Queued | Your request is saved and waiting to start | Make sure intake and uploads are complete | | Building | The website is actively being produced | Watch for questions, previews, or requested edits | | Live | The website is published or in the live launch stage | Review the live site and note follow-up changes | | Failed | The workflow hit a problem and needs review | Contact your agency team so the blocker can be cleared |

Best Habit While A Website Is In Progress

Do not wait until launch day to check back in.

Instead:

  1. review the order after submission
  2. upload anything missing early
  3. watch for status changes
  4. collect edit notes in one clean pass

Orders Versus Website Builder

Use:

  • Orders to request or track website work
  • Website Builder when a website already exists and you are ready to review or make direct changes

Good To Know

  • Orders is about requesting or tracking website work.
  • It is not the same thing as Billing.
  • Once a website exists, day-to-day edits usually happen from the website detail page and builder.
