Site Features

To complement the array of fully functional pages that come as part of as-webdesign's SME site, we are able to produce custom web pages to perform any business requirements. From product ranges to contact forms we will be happy to implement any type of business specific functionality to enhance and develop your site further.

 

In addition to the bespoke functional pages your SME site may include any number of standard pages containing your own custom content. Using the Content Management System (CMS) you will have control over the text, images, colours and styles that appear on your standard pages. Standard pages can be added and removed by you at any time.

 

Company news articles are an excellent way of letting others know about current developments. Including a news section on your SME site will allow you to create, edit and delete news articles through the Content Management System (CMS). A certain number (determined by you) of latest news articles will be shown on your site with links to monthly and categorised news archives. News categories are optional and allow you to apply your news article to a certain area of your business.

 

Frequently asked questions appear on most, if not all, business sites. Posting common questions on your site will assist site users when searching for answers to their queries. An FAQ section of your SME site will reduce the amount of time spent answering user/customer queries and is fully editable from the Content Management System (CMS).

 

What better way to show off your products and services than using full colour photographs contained in a functional, professional photo gallery. Photographs add creditability to your site while supporting the text content contained on other pages. Add and edit your photos, galleries and much more from your Content Management System (CMS).

 

A page to include relevant links to external sites will be a powerful tool at your disposal. Relevant links will interest the visitors, without taking them away from your site. Including a Links page will also allow you to build a list of reciprocal links from other sites, an excellent way to build your search engine rankings.

 

Posting positive feedback received from customers will go a long way to assure potential clients that your products or services are for them. Testimonials can be listed on their own page, while individual testimonials can be displayed on other pages of the site, underneath the navigation menu.

 

By building a record of interested parties, a mailing list will allow you to direct your email marketing at a targeted audience. The SME site allows visitors to add their email address to your companies' mailing list, which will then be available to you for future email newsletter and updates.

 

As a substitute for a regular 'Contact Us' page your SME site can contain a fully verified contact form for site visitors to complete. Potential customers can complete their name, email address and query/question which will be send directly to your chosen email address.

 

To aid you in the development of your SME site, visitors may leave feedback through the feedback form. User feedback helps you to keep on top of ever changing requirements which, in turn, will ensure that your site always contains what its users want to see. Feedback received can be reviewed from pages in the Content Management System (CMS).

 

In many situations it will be appropriate for users to download suitable documents from your SME site. Using our ‘Document Store’ you have the ability to upload a variety of documents to your website. From PDFs to presentations, all of you documents will be available for site visitors to download and save to their computer. Using our Document Store is the perfect way to share important files with you website visitors.

 

The calendar function is ideally suited to displaying events, fixtures and diary entries to anyone visiting your site. Entries can be made for one day, or for a number of days by entering a start and end date. Each entry can have a title and description, contact details for the person organising the event, an email address and website.

 

The most important factor for any website is site traffic, getting people to your site. Increasingly visitors are reaching their target sites through internet search engines (i.e. Google, Yahoo etc.) Your SME site allows Meta Keywords and Descriptions to be entered for every page on the site. Meta Keywords are comma separated words or phrases entered by site owners to help search engines determine the content of each web page. Meta Descriptions give a textual description of the page to be displayed in search results. The SME site also makes use of heading tags and image descriptions to help boost your search engine rankings.

 

To keep the site refreshing and dynamic, custom page banners and images can be used for each page of the site. Custom banners and images can be uploaded from the Content Management System (CMS) for use on any page of the SME site.
