Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of My Own Minis?
It's an effort to join together the miniature community. It allows vendors and hobbyists to create HOMEpages that reflect their personalities and share them amongst each other. Moreover, it will be forever customizable. More about this in the future.
What is the cost?
$49.95 is standard set-up fee for a 2 to 3 room HOMEpage. Upgrades to your home are also available if you wish to add extra features. More on these to come soon. Your HOMEpage will be like a table at a year-round miniature show allowing your to showcase your collection, product or services.
How does it Work?
After you choose your house template and filled out our content form, we will contact you with a link to the first look of your new HOMEpage with the information you've provided in it. From there, we will make adjustments to your liking. After this process, when your HOMEpage is ready to 'go live' the payment is due, including any additional priced features you've chosen and it will be ready to show to world.
How can I use it?
Your HOMEpage is the perfect place for you to set up shop. You can use it to keep your clients informed, show off your work in a gallery or advertise products and services. Or, just decorate it for fun!
What if I pay for a HOMEpage and I don't like it?
You will have an opportunity to see your page put together in a general, preliminary state before we ask for the $49.95 fee (plus any additional priced features you've chosen). If you decide that you do not want your HOMEpage before or after it has been created, then only a $10 service charge may apply.
Can I sell items on my HOMEpage?
Through our Show Room room, you can advertise your products with prices and information. We do encourage our community members to link and advertise their ebay, etsy and other such online shops here. However, at this time, we have no store system in place. Unfortunately, the time and cost to set up a store system and to upload each piece of merchandise is more than we can afford at the m
Can I have my own site (domain) name? (i.e. www.yourname.com)
For a higher price, you can have your own domain name. The extra cost will go towards the research of finding a site name that is not taken, plus the cost to register and secure your name and hosting it. Other priced options would be to have a custom layout that is not of the house theme.
I want to make additions to my house, but I don't see anything I like in the My Own Minis inventory page.
No problem. If you have suggestions or ideas of items (or features) you'd like us to add for yours or others' future enjoyment, please contact us! We are open to any comments or concerns you may have and look forward to any opportunity to grow!
