• Update pages directly on the web site
  You can edit and update pages on your web site any time you wish without the need to purchase any software. Updates are immediately published live on the Internet.
• Number of pages not limited
  You can have as many pages on your site as you require. The software does not limit the number of pages - you can add new pages at any time.
• Word Processor-like editor
  Web pages are edited on-line via an editor that is very similar to common Word Processors such as Microsoft Word. This editor allows you to directly format the text on the page as well as insert web links, images and tables.
• Site Navigation - auto-generating
  The site menu used by site visitors to move about your web site automatically updates when a new page is added, or changes are made to an existing page. Additionally, the position of a page in the site menu can be changed whenever and however you wish. Of course, you have complete control over the text displayed in the site navigation.
• Image library
  Upload your images to your own on-site image library for use on any content page on your web site.
• Publishing Pages can be created, but not published, meaning that they do not appear on the web site to site visitors. This is very useful if you wish to work on a page over a period of time before making it available to site visitors, or if a page requires approval prior to publication. Additionally, there is the ability to set pages to automatically start and finish publishing on predetermined dates.
• Member's Only area
  You can create a password-protected "Member's Only" area, to which only authorised site visitors have access. You have complete control over the creation and management of these users. A "Member's Only" area is particularly useful if you want to restrict access to certain pages to a particular group of people e.g. wholesale customers, employees.
• Contact enquiry form
  A Contact page enquiry form for feedback and enquiries from your site visitors.
• Newsflash and Latest News displays
  Display a list of latest News items on your home page.
• Site Search
  Allows visitors to conduct a search of the entire web site - particularly useful for larger sites.
• Email-a-friend, Print and PDF format for every content item
  You can elect to display icons that allow site visitors to Email-a-friend about a particular page, or create a printer-friendly version, or convert the page to PDF format.
• Banner manager Ability to display banner advertising on your site, with client management and recording of displays and click throughs. 14. Survey/Poll/Voting Create on-line surveys or polls, with display of current results.
• Web link Directory
  Ability to maintain a "Links" Directory giving categorised listings of web links to other web sites.
• Secure Administration area
  Site maintenance functions can all be accessed via a password-protected Administration area. As Site Administration is Internet-based, it can be accessed from any Internet-connected computer any where in the world - you can update your site, from the office, home, or even from an Internet café.
• User Management
  As well as the creation of "Members", you can also create additional site administrators with varying degrees of access to help with site maintenance. Content can be added by contributing authors.
• Search Engine Friendly
  The system automatically formats your content in a Search Engine friendly manner helping to attain high rankings in Search Engine listings. These automated settings can be over-ridden on a page-by-page basis if desired.
• Training/Documentation
  Whilst the system quite intuitive and easy to grasp, a comprehensive Manual is supplied with each web site, illustrating in a step-by-step manner the most common actions. Also any particular customisations for your site are explained.
  Additionally, training sessions are held at our premises - you are invited to attend as many of these as needed to get you confident with updating content on your site.
• Full web site statistics Complete information on how many visits your site is receiving, which pages are being visited, how long visitors spend on your site, where they are coming from, which search terms they used to find your site, and so on - essential information required to make effective decisions regarding your web marketing.
  (NB: this feature is part of the MC4-IT hosting service, and is not included should you elect to have your site hosted elsewhere).
• Email/Webmail
  Up to 10 email addresses are included, each of which is accessible by Webmail from any Internet-connected computer, anywhere in the world. Webmail is like your own private Hotmail service - very useful for access your email when not at your office.
