Visitor-Side Features

Visitors do not feel that they are viewing a cookie cutter, done a million times over type web site. They are not bogged down with heavy, slow loading flash. There are no bottlenecks to getting directly to vehicle details and submitting forms. Visitors are left with the impression that the dealership is well organized, knows exactly what it can offer from inventory and is a professional operation worth doing business with.

Dealer-Side Features

Websites can be designed in virtually any format. While we recommend against flash (any flash content is not searched by search engines – and lowers your potential search engine ranking) we will design in it as well.

We endeavor to use non-JavaScript, non-flash layout as much as possible as it is more cross-browser compatible (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, Opera, etc) and is also viewable by search engine indexers and improves search engine listings. Our sites are not created in frames, although inventory is typically in an iframe. Some website designs can be done completely without iframed inventory which improves search engine placement, but has extra cost attached to it.

Sites can be designed at any width you choose. Roughly 77% of all Internet users browse at 1024x768 or higher, and we estimate that number to be higher on car dealership websites. Menus can be at the top or side of the website as desired. Sites are designed to mesh with a dealership’s logo and preferred color schemes (if applicable).

DataOne Software hosts all sites we design on our iMarket Platform, though your email can be hosted by ourselves or any 3rd party you desire. If you wish to show a 3rd party inventory display we can integrate that, or we can take a feed from that location and use our display – allowing you to edit your inventory display in real time.

All contact forms can be sent in either or both ADF format to your lead management software or to an email address of your choosing.



FAQ:
[ + ] How long does it typically take to create a dealer web site from scratch?
   Much depends upon how responsive you are in reviewing drafts and providing clear feedback. Typically it takes approximately 1-2 weeks from start to finish.
 
[ + ] If you host our web site can you also send our inventory to places like AutoTrader and Cars.com?
   Absolutely - check out our iMarketAuto Inventory Management service here: http://www.dataonesoftware.com/menu_Inventory_Management_3402. The page you will be most interested in is called 'Inventory Distribution' and it is here: http://www.dataonesoftware.com/page_InventoryDistribution_3672

Testimonials
As a general manager for an automotive dealership my main concern was transforming Internet prospects into showroom customers and that is exactly what DataOne iMarketAuto™ did for our company. Averaging over 60% monthly sourced customers from the internet would not have been possible without the tools and support of DataOne.
