Introduction to GemPages Customization Service

Important Note: Customization Service is a privileged service reserved only for users of the Build, Optimize, Enterprise, and legacy plans. If you're currently using the GemPages Free plan, upgrading to one of the above plans lets you take advantage of Customization Service.
GemPages now provides you with custom services for your web page. This guide reviews the services available and how to request a service with a Gempages expert.

About our customization service 

As you know,  you can create a website using GemPages without any coding or design knowledge. Custom code may be used to further customize your site. Sometimes, adding code to your site is an advanced modification that falls outside the scope of our Support Team. In that case, we now provide a design service to help you save time and overcome the challenges of creating customizations while designing your stores.

 

Let's say after using GemPages to build your page, you have an idea to make it even better. However, you don't have the coding skills to put it into action. No worries, our team of web developers has the ability to help you leverage your website design based on your idea. 

 

Depending on what you need, the charge may vary. Fortunately, not all of our custom tasks are charged. Please refer to the table below to determine which tasks are free and which are not.
