notice. Whether it is a major sale or an expansion of your services

as possible. With the Dynamic Index Page Text Management system, you

Shopping Carts
A shopping cart is the actual storefront of your
e-business. It allows you to actually sell your products online
while never having to actually maintain a physical location. The
shopping cart allows the visitor to make a purchase from your
website instantly via credit card.
Merchant Accounts
A merchant account enables your business to accept
payment over the Internet. A merchant account is a credit card
processing account opened through a bank or other financial
institution that is a member of a credit card network (Visa,
MasterCard, Discover, etc) which allows merchants to accept credit
cards from customers. After collection, the funds are transferred
electronically to the merchants account holders bank account. A part
of the merchant account process is the Payment Gateway. Processing
gateways are an intermediary to get card information from your
shopping cart to the merchant account. Often processing gateways are
packaged with merchant accounts.
SSL Certificates
SSL is an acronym for secure socket layer which is the
encryption process that provides privacy between computer
connections. SSL is commonly used by the market leaders in Internet
browsing software. Certificates are provided when a site is secured
by SSL technology. An SSL certificate will assure your customers
that their credit card and personal information will be protected
and that they can shop safely and securely on your website.
Contact Forms
A contact input form allows the website visitor to email
you without revealing your email address. This is a very good way to
ensure you do not receive unwanted spam type email.
Online Application Forms
An online application form allows the website visitor to
input information to be electronically transmitted to your
designated email. A perfect example of an online application form is
an employment application. As the website owner you decide what
information is required and the website visitor knows what
information you are looking for. An online application can also be
used in conjunction with a data base system providing a means to
store and retrieve applications.
Online Order Forms
An online order form is a great tool to use when you
require specific information from the customer with regards to
placing and order for a service or a product. The order prompts the
user to complete at a minimum the required information before the
order will be successfully submitted. This allows the website owner
to collect the information they need the first time and not have to
spend time contacting the customer for additional information.
Dynamic Article Posting
A dynamic article posting program allows the website
owner to post the latest news and information about their company on
the website. The site owner can log into an administrative area of
the website and post news updates and archive older postings for
retrieval and reading by the website visitor.
Dynamic Print Page Function
A visitor on your website reads an article they
particularly like. They would like to print the article but not have
all the other items on the webpage print out with the text. By using
a Dynamic Print Page Function, the visitor can click on an icon on
the page and print a text only version of the article, saving both
paper and ink.
Dynamic FAQ's
Visitors to your website will often times have questions
that are not readily answered on the main pages of the website. A
Dynamic FAQ system will allow you to develop a page of Frequently
Asked Questions about your business along with the ability to update
and change those FAQ's based on customer input.
Calendar of Events
A calendar of events allows website visitors to see
activities are up coming within your organization. The calendar is
administrated by the website owner who has a login area and the
means to post specific data about an event in a standard calendar
format which is accessible by the site visitor via a hyperlink.
Photo Gallery
Photo galleries provide a way for website owners to
display images of their products. The website owner has a login area
which allows them to use the tools to upload images and text
information about a specific image. This type of function is often
seen on websites in the arts, crafts and fashion industry.
Classifieds Management System
A Classifieds Management System can be very beneficial to
your website by allowing you to post employment opportunities, items
for sale, property for rent, etc.. The website owner can log into a
management area and change the classifieds as often as necessary to
reflect the current needs of their company.
Forums
Forums are a great way to build a sense of community for
your website. As forums are developed based on different topics of
discussion in your website's industry, you are providing a reason
for visitors to come back to your site. The visitors can comment and
discuss the various topics you discuss which may prompt them to
visit other areas of your website.
Email A Friend Script
One of the most effective means of marketing both on the
web and off the web it by word of mouth. When a visitor comes to
your website and they like what they see, they will be able to pass
the website information on to a friend. Often times a visitor to
your website may think about forwarding the url to a friend but
forgets to do it. By prompting the visitor to do this with a "Email
A Friend" script, you increase the chances of your website being
recommended to another potential customer.
Email Newsletter Software
The website owner can collect email addresses of visitors
who have signed up (opted in) to receive emails that provide
information about your business. The opt-in system is used to ensure
only those individuals signing up to receive emails from the website
will actually receive them An opt-out system works with the opt-in
program to provide a way for email subscribers to leave the mailing
list.
