FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

How do I know Zealous will work for me?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We’ve facilitated hundreds of programs, and to put your mind at rest, you get the first 20 entries completely free to test us out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What if I choose the wrong pricing plan?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No problem – you can change your plan anytime with monthly billing options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Do I need any technical skills to set up a competition?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not at all. If you can use email and websites, you can create a professional competition. Everything is point-and-click with clear guidance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Can I see what my competition looks like before publishing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes! Draft mode includes full preview functionality. Experience your competition as applicants will and share preview links with colleagues before going live.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What if I make mistakes after launching?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most settings can be changed after going live – descriptions, deadlines, categories. The few unchangeable elements are clearly marked during setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Is support included when I launch, and how quickly can I get help?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, unlimited support is included at no cost. Live chat is available during UK business hours, plus we offer free pre-launch reviews.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
