Ryan's Module Thoughts From The Developer Perspective - Promotion Code Management

 

Promotion Code Management

Promotional codes are a typical bullet point on an eCommerce platform's list of offerings... but I think we seriously nailed this one!  WebWiz@rd 3.4.0+ comes packaged with a total eCommerce solution, and this module is a key component for a store's online success.

My favourite thing about this module: You would be hard-pressed to find a more flexible promotion code system in use today. We took great strides in making this module organic enough to allow our customers to really take advantage of bundling and discounting items in their online stores, and it shows.
Some customers that use this module: In the works!
Industries that are well suited for this module: Any industry that has a need to sell products online and wants to provide customers with savings based on specific criteria within a customer's shopping cart.

Google Street View Photography in your Business

I am alway meeting new people with great new services.  I recently had a chance to meet with David Goodfellow.  David is the only locally authorized Google Photographer.  His business is to create great virtual tours of your business to be displayed on your Google Places page.  You can then take those virtual tours to post on your own website.  It's basically Google's Streetview but inside your business.

 

Virtual Tours are a unique way to show people your business.  They are proven to keep prospective customers on your website longer allowing them to interact with your products or services with just a click of a mouse.

 

Have a look at the great job David did of our office.

Laura's Module Thoughts - Page Content

 

Page Content

When I first used the Page Content Module I enjoyed how simple it was to change all of the content on your site.  I love how easy it is to go in and quickly swap out an image or even a link.

My favourite thing about this module: I really like that it makes everything so simple.  If you have ever used a word editor before than you will be able to use this module!

Some customers that use this module: Waterloo Security, University of Guelph Faculty Association

Sean's Module Thoughts - Newsletters

 

Newsletters

This module is an immaculate way to keep your subscribers relevant with whats going on in your business. Along with a custom design that matches your site your newsletter will actually be read and not thrown into a junk folder.

Using the same content editor it allows you to fully customize they layout of your newsletter.

My favourite thing about this module: The ability to have a template that matches your sites design. Call for details.
Some customers that use this module: Springridge Farm, Grimestopper
Industries that are well suited for this module: Any business wanting to reach a lot of people easily and efficiently. Or any company wanting to build a subscribers list.

Jillian's Module Thoughts - Newsletters

 

Newsletters

I wrote a Blog posting about the Newsletter module roughly 1 year ago but I thought that I would write another since there have been many changes and improvements to this module now that WebWiz@rd 3 is here.

I primarily do all of the client training of the WebWiz@rd system, so of course if our client has the Newsletter module, I get to show them how the module works.  I've lost track of how many times our clients have said things like:

"I love that idea."

"Oh, that's great."

"I'm so glad it can do that now."

I completely agree with them and I am always excited to 'show off' this particular module.

My favourite thing about this module:

EVERYTHING!

  • The ability to add a new subscriber and edit all of your existing subscribers information.
  • The option of uploading and downloading a CSV of your subscriber list.
  • The capability of sorting your subscriber list by first name, last name, email address and date added.
  • The option of adding subscriber groups which allows you to make sure that only certain subscribers receive certain Newsletters.
  • The PREVIEW!  You can now preview your Newsletter straight in WebWiz@rd.
  • The ability to create a template and then, literally with the click of a button, start a brand new Newsletter using that template.
Some customers that use this module: REM Web Solutions, Warm Embrace, Breathe Into Motion
Industries that are well suited for this module: This module works particularly well for companies and organizations who offer sales and courses or classes.  It is also a great way to communicate details about upcoming events and fundraisers.

How to improve your search engine rankings (SEO) using WebWiz@rd and other methods - Part 9

 

My last blog post talked about getting a professional writer to help you write or at least edit your content.  Not only will your thoughts sounds great but it will typically lead to better search engine results.

 

This post is talking about Backlinks.  A Backlink is a link from another website to yours.  Before search engines existed, it was used as a primary means of web navigation.  However, today it is an important factor in Search Engine Optimization for your website. 

 

The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity and importance of your website.  Google interprets a link from a website to your website as a vote for it.  There are a number of factors that will decide what value a backlink has but the more good quality (high ranking, relevant websites) that link to your website the better.

 

As an example, if an important website in our industry such as a leading website that reviewed web companies had a link in their site to us where the link said something like "top web designers", it would help us for those terms.

 

Back linking takes a lot of patience and understanding on how to do it properly as it can work against you if you get the wrong websites to link to you.  REM works with a partner to help our clients build a proper back linking campaign for their website to get the best possible results.  Please contact us to let us know if you are interested in such a program.

 

My next post will talk about how you can effectively use social media to drive traffic to your website and build a stronger search engine ranking as a result.

Laura's Module Thoughts - Banners

 

Banners

When I first used the Banner module it became apparent how easy WebWiz@rd 3.0 is to use. This module is very similar in design to the Photo Gallery module which is perfect for new users as there are not as many different things to learn. Having banners on a website looks fantastic and is a great eye-catcher.

My favourite thing about this module: I really like that the banner module adds extra character to your website.  It's a great and easy way to showcase work or add just a little more appeal. 
Some customers that use this module: Cambridge Memorial Hospital Foundation, Project X Construction
Industries that are well suited for this module: I think that anyone who wants to showcase a part of their portfolio would really benefit from this module.

Jamie's Module Thoughts - Photo Gallery

 

Photo Gallery

The photo gallery is one of our most popular modules due to our customers desire to "show" instead of "tell" about what they have to offer.

I have a great deal of satisfaction integrating this module due to it's ability to adapt to any design style and purpose.  From a practical perspective, it just makes sense to me and from a design sense it adds the much needed interactivity that so many sites lack.

My favourite thing about this module: It's easy to use!  Administrators quickly rifle through images and select the ones to be included, while users quickly rifle through the end results to get an instant understanding of the products, services or events depicted!
Some customers that use this module: Two Blonde Chicks, Premier Fencing
Industries that are well suited for this module: Construction companies, design companies and anyone with a desire to show before and after shots are great candidates for this module.

Ryan's Module Thoughts From The Developer Perspective - Banners

 

Banners

I played a key role in the creation of this module for WebWiz@rd and I'm quite happy with how far it has come along since.

From the onset, our vision for this module was to create a great looking tool for websites to easily display animated image content on their home page.  I think we succeeded!

My favourite thing about this module: Not only do banners look great with the default configuration, we've also implemented many custom versions of this module based on client needs.  The customizing possibilities are endless!
Some customers that use this module: Environs Wholesale Nursery, Project-X ConstructionREM Web Solutions
Industries that are well suited for this module: Any and all!  There's no better way to instantly grab a website visitor's attention than with an animated accent to the home page.
