New and Improved Modules

By: Pete Adams l pete@bondware.com l 615-598-9745      We invite our customers to provide feedback to us on software improvements. This month we have acted on some requested changes to a couple of our most popular modules. We have added another full featured Business Directory module that should make listing local businesses even easier and more profitable. We have also updated our Calendar Pro module to include several customizable areas, as well as customizable viewing and sorting options. If you need help moving to the new Business Directory or Calendar Pro, we will be happy to assist.

New Customer Areas

     While we stay committed to our current customer lineup, we feel there is always room to grow. We are currently starting to market to restaurants and service related businesses. New templates and modules are in the works to make a one of a kind experience for these two business types. Keep an eye on our new customer additions in each newsletter. We hope to be showcasing restaurants and service businesses soon.

Referrals

     The lifeblood of any business is cultivating new relationships. We believe that our customers are our best commercial, and we want to prove it. We are offering a $100 credit to your account with each refferral that you send our way that results in a new customer for Bondware. If you have questions about our referral progam, please let us know. We will be happy to talk to you.

Facebook Integration

     I wanted to share a new development that will be ready very soon so that you can prepare for it. We are putting the finishing touches on allowing a Bondware Website to offer Facebook Authentication. What is Facebook Authentication? Basically, this allows your site users to login with their Facebook credentials. Don't worry, Bondware creates a full fledged member profile in the background for you automatically. This is especially helpful for our News and Community customers to make commenting, and joining your site easier. Users of your site should be fairly familier with this process, as it is becoming a standard on the Internet. Keep in mind that your users can always create a profile in the traditional manner, this option simply allows them to login without having to create and remember a username and password. 

     Keeping with the theme of Facebook, we are working to add one click content pushing to Facebook and Twitter. This allows you to quickly and easily push articles, or site pages to the two main social media sites. Stay tuned for further updates coming soon.

Bondware Blog Pro

     We found that we were generating interest from professional bloggers and independent news organizations that didn't quite need all that Bondware had to offer. We are pleased to announce the launch of Bondware Blog Pro. This blogging platform uses many of the same modules you are used to, but allows for minimal setup and design. If you need a secondary blog platform to compliment your online presence, check out Blog Pro. Setup costs are only $9.95 and monthly costs start at $9.95 as well.

Site Refresher

     We take pride in having our customer's websites look top notch. If you have been thinking about updating your website, adding social media buttons, or making major design changes, please let us know. We can quote you a full redesign and implementation with no down time for you. Our professional design team will put together a site design based on your specific demands. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy your newly built website.
