Resell tweak to clients? but how?
The system looks great, affordable, easy to use. Now i may be missing it, but i don't see a page to link my potential clients to, in order to show them the prices and features of "my" plans (using tweak). When i go to the subdomain url i defined in the admin area, all i see is a spot where my logo is at the top, a "welcome to your cms" message, and a log in area.
So is that telling me that i must first create a user account for my potential client, just in order for them to view this info i would like them to see? or what about a button to purchase plans? is there a page that displays this info (without the necessity for me to create them a user/client account through my admin area, and have them log in).
I suppose, a purchasing page of some sort? or at least a link to a purchase button? or a sign up area for them to create their own "type of account" (free), simply to view my package plans?
Again, i may be completely missing this, or i may just be mistaken on how this is supposed to work.
Some guidance/assistance would be much appreciated.

You are not missing anything. We do not have a page that shows the client your set prices until you create an account for them. Once they are logged into their account, they can go to Administration->Upgrade and see the different prices and what is included with each plan. There is a 60 day development grace period when they will not have to pay even if they are on a paid plan.
It is definitely a good idea to have them displayed for your clients somewhere before they create a site, however. If you would like this as a feature, you can add it to our "Make a Suggestion" forum: http://support.tweakcms.com/discussions/suggestions .

Sorry, I just realized that this was in the "Make a Suggestion" forum, You do not need to repost it.

To add to Colleen's response, I just want to let you know that we definitely agree with your suggestion and are already working on implementing it. In addition to allowing your customers to choose from one of your plans, we're also anticipating allowing them to choose a pre-made design, if you wish to allow them to do that and use the system entirely self-serve. Naturally, if you prefer, you can stick with creating fully-custom designs however.
We'll keep you posted on our progress on this feature. Don't hesitate to respond with any additional thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks!

Thank you for the response, i'm highly interested in this, but i do believe i'm going to wait until some of these features are built in before i move forward with any investing of time. I'm huge into streamlining processes, and as much work as this would be saving me, at the moment it would also be adding a sense of hassle in the fact that i would need to create accounts for them be able to access this info. I will be keeping a close eye on tweak cms and this post, when i'm informed these features are built in, and running fine, I'll be back with a marketing plan to launch my full support of this system, and in the end hopefully make alot of people very happy.
Again, thank you for such quick responses, it's highly appreciated.

I thought I would let you know that we do have a feature in the cms now where your clients can go and select a plan, a theme and create their own site. You can enable it from your reseller account by clicking on your username link in the upper left corner, selecting "Edit reseller preferences" and then clicking the radio button under the 'Site creation' setting 'Allow customers to create their own sites by selecting from my themes and plans'. You can then direct your customers to http://yourcompanyname.cmspath.com/setup and it will show them the plans available and allow them to create their own site with any themes you have uploaded into your reseller account.

I have limited knowledge of HTML coding, therefore I find your CMS a bit intimidating to create the websites for my clients. Would you consider having a template gallery with designs ready to use your CMS? for resellers like me?
I am looking for a turnkey solution (including hosting) with private brand CMS,
I would love to be able to sell your CMS.
Thanks,
JC
