Advertising Banners can be a source of advertising revenue or just an easy way to add changing content to your page. By plugging into i-Depth's Advertising Banner, you can display a new image on your page each time a visitor looks at it. i-Depth provides a banner accounting log, so you can track the number of visitors who click on each banner image, and your advertisers can measure the results of having a banner on your page.

A self-serve bulletin-board-like function where visitors to your site can search, view and post information like classified ads. The ads are sorted by category and subcategory to make it easier for visitors to zero-in on products of interest. Visitors can also Search for keywords and display only those classified ads that contain the keywords they specify. Administrative tools let you remove old classifieds or classified ads you do not want displayed on your site.

Allow live interactive dialog between visitors at your web site. Create a Chat room for people to talk about their shared interests. You can create as many Chat Rooms as you have topics. The i-Depth Chat Function allows you to turn frames on or off for easy viewing. See you in the Chat Room.

One very unique social event the internet has brought to our society is the forum. A forum is a discussion group between web users.

Each message that is posted can be read by others and replied to. Each message and it's replies are kept together by the subject and called a thread. This makes it easy to follow a conversation.

The Forum is a great way to get customers to talk openly about your products, friends to share war stories, and... the list goes on.

Each comment is added to the head of the list with a visitor provided email address and url.

Have you ever clicked on different spots of ONE IMAGE and gone to different places? If you have, you've used an IMAGEMAP. An imagemap is an image that uses a control file to tell the web server what different areas on an image should link to?

For example, you have a Map of the US as an image. You want the person browsing to be able to click on one of the 50 states. When they click on one of the states you want them to go to a link of your choice. That's the end result of an image map. You previously defined the coordinates of the bounderies of all those states and placed them in a control file. Sounds complicated? We've got software to help you through the process.

Like a simple order form, the 3-Page Order Form lets you accept online orders for your products and services. In addition to the simple data collection form and confirmation page included with most simple order forms, the 3-Page Order Form also includes a Totals page. The total cost of products, plus shipping if you like, displays so that a customer knows exactly how much the order will cost. All orders Transaction Secure!

A major visitor-draw, Postcards let visitors send and receive online postcards from your site. You design the postcard collection from which your visitors can choose. Your visitors select one of your designs, specify a recipient's electronic address, then type a personal greeting. Postcard recipients receive e-mail notification that a postcard is waiting for them at your site--thus bringing you visitor traffic from both the senders and receivers of postcards.

Don't just take our word for it. See what Web Week says about Post Cards.

Allow customers to view important information about your products and, when they are ready to order, place the product into a shopping cart. Once their shopping experience is complete, shoppers can confirm, calculate and securely check out their order. A "Confirmation of Order" email gets sent to them, an "Order" email gets sent to you, and a log gets sent to an email of your choice. Credit card information can be picked up via the secure server.

Let i-Depth create shopping pages for you or simply add "Buy It" links to your existing product pages. Customize the look of your shopping cart for invisible integration into your existing web site.

Now that you have loads of content on your pages, how do people find things?

One simple way is a simple text search. It searches an index control file for all lines with a match to the user entry.

The index file to be searched is created by the web site developer so it can be tailored to specific searchs. This can be used when a set of pages can be catagorized by title or author or some other keyword-type description. The index file is a simple columnar text file.

The search engine is reached by a form on a user page and the user can setup multiple indexes for each search engine.

Want to get useable information back to you from a filled out FORM? Ever get the one long line of non-usable text back in an E-Mail message after using the MAILTO: command? WebForm2Mail fixes all that. Create forms with whatever information you want filled out by the user and WebForm2Mail will send you back via E-Mail readable and usable information.
