Avoid Spam with our new Form to Email

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

If you want people to be able to email you from your site, but don’t like spam (who does?) then our new and improved Form to Email is what you need. It’s available through Heart Internet’s eXtend 2.0 Control Panel. Click on Form to Email, choose a directory to install into and it will be installed and configured for you.

 

Thanks to the addition of an image code verification field, like on most website registration forms, only real people will be able to send you email. This should help keep your inbox a bit cleaner.

 

The form is completely customisable and will allow you to put all sorts of form data into it. Anything from text boxes to radio buttons will be submitted to you by email.

 

You can change the email address that the form is submitted to, as well as setting up a page for the user to be forwarded to thanking them for their message.

 

Log in to eXtend (https://customer.heartinternet.co.uk/manage/) to give it a go.

Start your own eBay with Web Auction

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Ever wanted to run your very own auction website like eBay? With Heart Internet’s powerful eXtend control panel it’s never been so easy to get your auction script installed and up-and-running within seconds. As eBay is the definite industry leader amongst general auction websites, it’s going to be near-on impossible to beat, so it’s best that you target your auction site to a particular niche or be product specific, e.g. cars, gardening, crafts, etc. Being able to focus on a particular subject will allow you to tailor the entire site towards a set demographic and feature products that you know people will be interested in. If your subject is seasonal then highlight products that suit that time of year, it’s well worth sending out an e- newsletter highlighting the best deals and hot products that you know your members will be interested in to help increase sales/bids. We know security is a big issue with ecommerce websites, so our Heart Internet reseller package comes with a shared SSL security certificate which you can use to give your customers extra peace of mind when entering sensitive information.

Web Auction features include:
 - Simple Administration Interface
 - Specify Start/End times for products
 - Specify Bid Increment Rates
 - Create multiple categories to which users can browse by
 - Product Images & Descriptions
 - Create a Watch List
 - Email Notifications on auctions
 - Administrative Reporting
 - and much, much more.

Web Auction provides extensive product documentation as well as an informative support forum should you need further assistance:

Live User Support for your site with Crafty Syntax

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Being able to provide live customer support can be extremely  beneficial to your company. Not only will it enhance the user experience but it will also give you an edge over your competitors, especially if they are not offering the same standard of service. Allowing a user to instantly interact with you will most likely give you a higher rate of sales conversions, as being able to provide instant support when needed you’re effectively minimising the risk that if a user can’t find what they are looking for on your website, then they will simply go elsewhere. Giving the user access to instant support will provide them with peace of mind that should they ever need help… you’ll be there to give it. People don’t want to wait days for a support email to be answered, they want a solution as quickly as possible and if you can manage to solve a users problems in a suitable timeframe, the chances are they are going to stick with you and become a repeat purchaser of your product. Don’t forget that if you provide excellent customer service then you’re increasing the likelihood that people will start recommending you, word-of-mouth is an extremely beneficial marketing tool!

Crafty Syntax features include:

 - Unlimited operators, departments and users
 - Live Support with visitors on your site in real time
 - Proactive chat invites
 - Typing Preview to see what is being typed as it is being typed
 - Chat Transcripts and Logging
