Optional Add-Ons
The standard package will get your story out there. To help your web site work even harder, upgrade it with any of these time-saving, money-saving or sales-boosting options:
Streamline Wholesale Ordering
Look at the picture, enter your quantity in the box of the correct color. The order summary presents the details for review. Two steps later, the order is placed. Is your online ordering that easy?
Retail store buyers don't want to add each color, size and style of your products, one at a tedious time, to a standard shopping cart. Especially because verifying a wholesale order in a normal shopping cart is a pain-filled process.
Our custom wholesale ordering process eliminates the torture. Your buyers simply enter a quantity for each desired style, color and size. The order summary lays it all out in a logical manner for verification. Two steps later, the order is placed online, faster than anyone could fill out a paper form, and far, far faster than anyone could add the items to a shopping cart.
3D Floor Plans Let Customers Zoom In and Look Around
3D Floor Plans render your apartment layouts as virtual environments, so shoppers can visualize the rooms.
Apartment shoppers need to experience your apartments before they feel comfortable renting. A blueprint-style floor plan diagram is not enough, because few people can visualize an interior from a series of 2D boxes.
Our 3D Floor Plans show shoppers exactly what each layout looks like, with your choice of virtual furniture and options. We'll match your carpet and wall colors, door styles and window treatments. With the Navigator option, propsects will be able to click on a room and enter it virtually, for a view that matches what they would see if they came by for a tour.
It's like having your model apartment online and ready to visit instantly, from anywhere. Plus, you get high resolution 3D renderings for your print advertising and handouts.
Move Large Files Securely
Email is not secure, and attachments are often limited to 2 megabytes. FTP can move large files, but it's not secure. Mailing CDs gets old very quickly. So how do you move files to and from your customers easily and securely?
File ForwarderSM lets you send and receive files up to 2 gigabytes in size over a secure web connection. It works completely unattended once you start uploading. The recipient automatically gets an email telling them the file is ready for download.
Great for accountants, engineers, architects and printers. Life's too short for moving files any other way!
Process Web Orders Securely
Sometimes a full shopping cart setup is too expensive or too limiting for your product line. Simple order forms don't offer security for payment information. So how do you make it easy for shoppers to order from your site?
Our Online Ordering via PayPal option presents each of your products alongside a "Buy Now" button. Clicking the button adds that product to a customized PayPal shopping cart. Visitors add as many items as they want, change quantities, and check out securely.
Great for small product collections where each product has simple ordering options. Even better, setting up the required PayPal account is free and we'll help you with the details.
Make it easy for your customers to pay you, right from your own web site!
Accept Payments Online
Your customers are paying their phone and power bills online, so why can't they pay your bills online? They can if your web site has our Online Payments Page option.
You can accept PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover right through your web site. It's fast and secure. Your customer enters the payment information. You get an email from PayPal about the payment. All you do is record it. Ta da!
Both you and your customers save time and money. If you also send your invoices by email, you have a super easy, postage-free payment system. Here's ours
Get Quote Requests Anytime
Your product or service has many choices, and they all affect the price. Quoting by phone takes a while, and you can only do it when you're open. What if prospective customers sent completed quote requests on their own time, at their own convenience?
You could respond much faster, doing more business in less time.
Add a Quote Request Form to your web site and get quote requests from anywhere, any time. Prospects choose among your options, click a button, and you get an easy-to-read email with all the details.
Saves time for you, adds convenience for them -- especially for prospects in other time zones. Our Quote Request Form fits right into the flow of a fast-paced business.
Let Shoppers Find Their Price Point
Every prospect wants to spend a different amount. Your product line covers them all, but how do you match prospect with price point -- especially online?
Give them an Estimate Calculator that finds the approximate price for their chosen set of products, quantities, features and styles. Link it to a Quote Request Form or Online Ordering and you have a powerful ecommerce tool.
Keeps the tire-kickers our of your way. Helps serious shoppers decide at their own pace if they want your product at your prices.
Stop Faxing Blank Forms
Applicants for employment, apartment rental and credit accounts can't easily visit your office but they need an application form. Out goes the fax and out the window goes your staff's time. When the application comes back, no one can read the handwriting!
Instead, point them to your Secure Online Application. Applicants fill out small sections at a time, which encourages completing long forms. Smart, polite error messages show the applicant where to fix errors or add information.
Never fax out blank forms again. And when you get the resulting application, you can read all the entries!
Show Off Your Work
Your portfolio works great with prospects, but you don't have time to show it around as much as you'd like. With our Portfolio Tour option you can let the pictures tell the story, and let your prospects set the pace. They click buttons to flip the "pages" back and forth. Captions explain each project. Makes your portfolio available to prospects all day, every day.
Access Your Email Anywhere
While on the road, a client calls about an email he sent you this morning. You're out of the office and can't read it. Aargh!
But wait! You can log into your Google Apps Mailbox using just a browser from any internet connection. Reply to the client and get on with your trip. Now that's great customer service!
We'll set up Google Apps with your actual email addresses (not @gmail.com) for maximum email efficiency, reliability and spam-free-ed-ness. That's right, Google Apps mailboxes are almost spam-free.
Google Apps lets you and your staff work in Outlook, Outlook Express or any similar email program at the office PLUS access new emails and reply to them from anywhere with an Internet connection and a browser. Plus you get online calendars, a nifty chat feature for staying in touch with distant colleagues, and the handiest document storage/editing/sharing since -- well, ever.
On-the-road email access gives you flexibility in daily operations, without down time just because you are away from your desk.
Put the Past in the Past
Conference schedules and events lists need lots of attention. You don't want to show items that are already over, but manually removing them right on time is entirely impractical.
Add the Smart Events List option and forget the hassle. Each event entered gets an expiration date and time. When that moment arrives, it no longer shows up on your site. Simple as that.
Great for speaking engagement schedules, industry conferences, association calendars and community events lists.
Update Association Member Lists Automatically
Members can update their own contact information in a secure database accessed through your web site.
Your membership database is growing, and the change requests are piling up. Everyone's moving offices, changing email addresses and adding phone numbers.
Our Member List option lets each member maintain his own contact info. You simply add new members and delete lapsed ones.
Relieves you of the update burden, letting you focus on the rest of the association business. Great for small trade organizations, homeowners' associations, and industry groups.
Keep Clients Informed
"Where's my shipment?" "How long before you finish?" "Do you have all the permits?" You answer questions like these all day long, and it takes up too much time.
With our Project Status option, you can point your clients to their own private web page showing everything they need to know. Backstage, you or your staff members enter the updates to each project as they occur.
Saves phone time and provides a handy reference for everyone on your staff, too. Great for architects, freight forwarders, engineers, planners and consultants.
Full Site Search works well for large sites with many pages and downloadable documents.
Help Them Find Your Stuff
Our Full Site Search makes it super easy for visitors to find what they came looking for. Full Site Search even searches the contents of .pdf's and other documents posted on your web site.
Search results come back very quickly in a format everyone is used to. The familiar search box encourages visitors to dig deeper into your product information.
