>4,500 Plug-In Functions
programming is cheap!
As of early 2010, we have access to more than 4,500 plug-in modules that we can install and configure to meet your unique requirements. Below are a handful of plug-in modules that we think would be very useful to the electronic components community.
Content Restricter: This plugin module will allow us to create content that can hide behind access logins with multiple levels of access making your website a more powerful tool to communicate to varying levels of authority from JoSchmoe, to existing client, to authorized reseller, distributor sales, rep, employees and more.
Banner Ads: Say you are a distributor and want to advertise Flagship Products. Banner Ads can control what gets shown where and how often while tracking the number of impressions and click throughs. This powerful tool could be a source of income, allowing you to charge for premier advertising on your new and more powerful website, or simply earn more royalty from your key vendors with extensive reporting capabilities.
Page Peel Banner: The upper corner of your website has a Java enabled Page Peel Function that looks like the corner of a piece of paper folding back, if you grab it with your mouse you can peel it back to display a unique advertisement (that can be managed was a banner ad).
Job Listings: Have open positions you need filled, list them in a professional manner on your website and open it up to your in-house Human Resources Personnel to update and manage as it is that easy to use.
Newsletter Bridges: Keep customer profiles on your website and allow users to subscribe / unsubscribe to single or multiple newsletters generated by your company.
CRM Bridge: A software tool to open up contact forms or other input options to interact directly with Networked CRM tools such as SalesForce.com, Sugar and more.
Calendar / Events / Registration: Do you have regular events, meetings or seminars? Allow users to browse your events in either a calendar view or simple lit view. You can enable registration and even collect fees for sign up.
Help Desk / Live Support / Chat Box: Whether its a call back function, or texting interface, you can facilitate direct communication with visitors on your site with simple interaction tools.
Forums / FAQ's: This is extremely powerful but often overlooked, so I am going to use an example. Let's say you just bought an iPhone and installed a new application and you have a question. Before you begin to look for an answer, you are already probably thinking that you will find an answer on a forum somewhere. Why not offer that type of functionality for your company and services. You can un-publish nasty entries as they do not meet the forum rules and answer the questions once a day to provide best-in-class support.
Projects / Task Management Tools: Do you want to offer Project Management tools to your customers to manage far-reaching projects with multiple team members. Keep a list of all customer contacts and their areas of responsibility; your team members and their areas of responsibility; all related documents including proposals, contracts, specifications, repair reports; keep a timeline or tracker; and more. . . .
Comments: Open up comments / Testimonials on your website for visitors to say how great your products and services are.
Polls / Surveys: Would you like to know what your clients want from the next generation of products, then open up a poll and / or survey to learn what visitors to your site really want.
Newsletter: Do have lots of new products always being added to your site or press releases. The site can automatically pull together the latest content to generate an email newsletter that gets distributed to your on-line customer profiles. You can even have them sorted by content type so the email newsletters will go out automatically to people who are subscribed for only the content they want.
RSS Feed: Make all your new content available to any RSS Reader. This is why customers will want to subscribe to your feed and see what is new on your site.
RSS Reader: Are you a distributor with many factories who have their own RSS feeds, and wouldn't it be great to automatically pull their content on to your site. That is all possible with an RSS Reader.
Hover / Pop-Up Effects: Do you want to let your thumbnails expand into large views when visitors hover over them or click on them? Would you like to include additional content with the picture such as features or a description?
E-commerce / On-line stores: Pick your store type as there are so many to choose from.
Search Engine Friendly URL Addresses: Turn confusing database driven url addresses into simple url address that are more friendly to search engines and intuitive to the visitors of your site.
SiteMap: Automatically generate a sitemap for your visitors and XML version for submitting to searches to more easily index your site and increase Search Engine Rankings.
Search Functions: Pick from dozens of search functions with varying displays and abilities to show only specific results.
JoomFish: Would you like to automatically transalate your web pages into multiple languages, JoomFish will do all the work saving you unlimited time and money spent on generating content in multiple languages.
Spinner: Would it be advantageous to have the content on your screen be spun or change every time the screen refreshes. The content spinner can make your content appear 100% fresh 100% of the time to web crawlers, making your content appear more timely and updated, worthy of higher rankings on the search engines.
Glossary Links: This tool will find every instance of the words you define and change them to anchored text links pointing to the pages you define. Want your sites home page to rank highly for the term "widgets" Then create a glossary entry for widgets and have it point to your home page and then wherever that word appears on your site, it will create a link creating more SEO value for that term and your home page.
Alternative Text / Meta Tags: Tools to help you generate and manage all the hidden text that search engines read and add more SEO Value to your site.
. . . and these are just a few of the more than 4500 that we have identified. Let us know what function you want, and it is likely that we can find an existing module that we can install and simply modify to meet your specific needs.
