each order so your customers know exactly what is happening with their order.

It is managed and updated in the same way as the standard catalogue but provides a way for you to spotlight certain goods.
|
| Automated Linking Facility |
|
One of the very common ways internet sites promote themselves is by the use of reciprocol links, which is where you provide
links to related sites and they provide links back. This is a very efficient way of generating traffic. Our system allows people
to request links on your site by filling in a simple form which you can then manage yourself by simply activating the link when
you see they have provided a reciprocol link on their site. These links can be categorised and they are automatically notified by
email when you have activated a link. You can even send a reminder to them that they haven't yet provided a link back.

|
| Contact Form |
|
The contact page can contain comprehensive information of how to contact you and will also include a contact form so visitors
can simply fill in a message box and send you an email, rather than having to type out an email and send it that way. We know
that people are much more likely to contact you if it is very easy.
|
| News Page |
|
There is a news page that is again manageable by you so you can provide up-to date information to your visitors on a minute by
minute basis should you require.

| Usage Report |
|
There is a usage report that will show you statistics for your members, when they joined, how many times and when they last
visited.
|
| Messaging |
|
Some people do not want to provide their email address, and this can be frustrating when you want to notify someone of a change
to the site, a problem with an order or some exciting news. You can send messages to any of your members through the messaging
system. The next time your member logs on they will see a "you have messages" notification.
