Website Development ModulesWhile the majority of our programming consists of custom, client-specific solutions, we have developed several standardized modules that add cost-effective functionality and value to the sites we create. Examples include:
Content Manager The Content Manager enables you to login to a simple web-based management area to add, edit and delete news, articles, products, or any other content that changes frequently. This feature saves you time and money, gives you complete control over your own site's content and makes it easy to feature accurate and up-to-date information.  Our shopping cart systems have been refined and are now more affordable than ever. We offer fully updateable shopping carts with two different levels of credit card payment options. For smaller businesses or sites that sell small volumes, our basic level of e-commerce collects and delivers credit card numbers to you in a secure environment for in-house processing. More advanced businesses selling high volumes of product will be connected to an online merchant for real-time credit card processing. Our custom Email Engine allows you to categorize email addresses that you collect from your web site visitors in the Contact Us section of your site. Through a private web application customized to your needs, you will be able to compose and send targeted, emails about special offers, product announcements, job opportunities, news, and events to different groups within your database. In the process, you will be building a database of contacts and increasing traffic to your web site. Our Event Calendars are fully updateable and interactive, designed to pique interest and draw traffic to the site. Events are color-coded by category, enabling visitors to customize the calendar according to their specific interests. Site visitors can read about events, sign-up for activities, and receive email reminders. A Content Manager that allows you to make quick updates and additions to your calendar is an important aspect of this feature. Offering intuitive contact options to your site visitors is imperative if you want to turn web site visitors into clients. It is also the easiest way to build a database of qualified business leads. Our Contact/Feedback Forms are carefully planned according to your business style, and programmed to submit lead information directly to an email box and/or to a custom database for later retrieval. Every word on your site will be indexed for easy search and retrieval actions from site visitors. We will also build the search interface and the method with which the site presents the search results. If you wish to index certain sections of the site, for example a database of archived articles, the search index can be narrowed down accordingly. Give your site visitors an opportunity to speak with you and each other about a variety of industry-related topics. A simple form will post questions to the site where staff members and/or other visitors will have the opportunity to respond with advice and suggestions. The home page news teaser features brief, catchy headlines that link to the full stories appearing in the news section of your site. They will be database driven and will be designed to entice visitors to click inside the site for the full story. The text links that appear in this teaser will be completely controlled by you via your News Content Manager. |
