Each listing displays essential field data: price, starting date, ending date, countries visited, a colorful slide show of places of interest, detailed description with an itinerary, and the ability to book the tour by sending a reservation request (event calendar).

Once every so often, a realization that something needs to be changed hits us. It’s just that the current website, strategy, ideas and the overall modus operandi doesn’t feel fresh anymore. One may stagger with the status quo for a while longer, but do we have to?

Lately we have been quite busy improving this and that, making the new website look great and all, updating our products and making sure everyone knows there are new versions of iAuto, iRealty and iLister that are far greater than the previous releases.  Now, right after the release and following the New Year holidays, it’s time to think about new plans, new achievements and goals for 2010.

At this point of time, one thing is certain, and that is  the fact that we need to be more involved with both our customers, our potential customers, and our industries in general. What are our industries after all? Programming - definitely, Web development - most certainly, Real Estate - no doubts, Automotive - of course, Human Resources - quite so, B2B - absolutely.

One way of reaching such a diverse audience is via blogging. This is why we are contemplating a new strategy that puts more effort in social networking, better communication and quicker responses. Let’s see how well we move this way

Best Holiday Cheer to All Our Customers, Present or Future,

We wish you all a joyous holiday celebration. Regardless of the continent you are on at the moment, and no matter in what country, nearby or across the world from us, we hope that you take the best out of those few day of upcoming holidays and weekends.

May the upcoming year bring you millions of opportunities to make your lives and lives of your families, colleagues, friends, and neighbors better, happier, more enjoyable and richer. Let all your projects hit the jackpot, yet keep you busy just enough to have time for yourselves, to enjoy quality time with the loved ones, to travel and discover.

We promised a New Year present to everybody, and now we deliver the newest and greatest in the classifieds technology, namely new major releases of iAuto, iRealty and iLister! Moreover, we have great discounts for the new customers, and even cooler deal for the existing customers of ours.

In the upcoming year 2010, we promise that we’ll bring even more products and features, less bugs (keeping our fingers crossed), cooler designs and yet more reasons for you to be and remain a proud member of the huge WorksForWeb family, the family so diverse and widespread that only the penguins of Antarctica are still resisting the urge to join in.

It has been lots of fun working with all of you over the last year. We hope that with all the new things we tried to bring in to improve the quality of services and products, to make sure you get the best you deserve. We went through 3 or 4 major releases and a bunch of minor releases, got a new website running and improved a lot of internal processes.

We hope to continue working with you on existing and new projects that you will undoubtedly start in the coming 2010, but for the mean time we all wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, a Happy Kwanza and a Happy Hanukah.

Good luck and have fun!!!

After several months of development, we are proud to release our long awaited totally redesigned corporate website: http://www.worksforweb.com/. This redesigned website provides more detailed information about our company activity and services, and features in-depth information about our classifieds products: iRealty, iAuto and iLIster. So why did we decide to make the changes and what did we do to improve the site?

We created our classifieds products from scratch. It was a long way from simple PHP script to sophisticated yet easy-to-use classifieds engine capable to run large classifieds portals. Our old product sites grew up with the products step by step, from enhancement to enhancement. And one day we realized that our old product sites cannot serve the needs of our top-notched products and it does not reflect our organisation’s current market position. We know that we have to evolve to ensure we can deliver what customers need today. A web site redesign was a great opportunity to evaluate where we are today and where we want to be in the future.

At the beginning of the redesign we outlined the main purposes of the site as follows:

• Enhance customer perception of our classifieds products and WorksForWeb services
• Ensure an online presence in the face of similar moves by competitors
• Provide customers with the ability to view the product demo on-line
• Provide an opportunity to inform people about classifieds scripts in which they may be interested, thus enhancing customer service and increasing sales.

Several months of hard work of designers and developers allow us to present you our new redesigned site. So what’s the value?

We tried to make the web site well presented and provide it a professional appearance. Now the site appears to contain most of the information a customer would require. We use the language and visual cues in a manner that is both internally consistent and consistent with general practice, so our customers do not have to learn any new techniques in order to use the site successfully.

One of the most important challenges was the necessity to consolidate four sites in one (three products sites and one company site) and retain the navigation through the site clear and user-friendly. We worked hard to design 4-level menu. The 1-st level menu presents our company, products and services, the 2-nd level menu navigates you through the scripts and addons available. The 3-d level menu guides you through the information about each product: iAuto, iRealty and iLister, product features, portfolio, demos, documentation, etc. And finally the 4-th level menu (it’s displayed in the right block of the site unlike the previous three menu levels which are located under the site header) invites you to look deeper into the detailed info about product editions and detailed functionality descriptions. If necessary, a site map is available.

We designed the site with our valued customers in mind so we did our best to provide all necessary means of communication. We encourage you to contact us through the contact forms specially designed for pre-sales questions, submitting testimonials and feature requests and general suggestions, besides you can call us or chat via Skype.

We created the site with love and desire to make your surfing through our site and searching for the information smooth and problemless. Our designers tried to make the site attractive and pleasant to look at. You are our most severe judges and the best usability consultants. We are eager to listen to your opinion about our efforts regarding the site redesign. We would like to offer you to fill in a short survey on the site redesign. Your feedback is highly appreciated!

We live in the world where people are mostly skeptical and need a good reason to listen to you, or choose your product or use your services. Previously we discussed the reasons for writing success stories and today we will learn how to write a success story that makes people believe.

There are a lot of ways to write an interesting and persuasive story and you can easily google them. Today we offer you the CARP-model for wring success stories, the model which is easy to understand and follow and flexible enough to be changed giving you much space for self-expression. Finally it’s quite effective.

The structure consists of four parts:

1. Challenge
2. Action
3. Result
4. Perspective

We call this structure CARP-model. it’s easy to remember even if you are not a fishing lover, isn’t it?

So the CARP-model provides you with the structure for your success story. Let’s dive deeper into the details.

Challenge

The main purpose is to make readers identify with the challenge.

Who had the challenge? Who cares?
What problem, issue or concern needed addressing?
Why was it important?

What was the cost of addressing or not addressing it

Action

The main purpose is to demonstrate how you responded to the challenge and how our product and services can impact the business challenge.

What did you do to address your challenge?
How big was the project? Include inputs (staff, funding, volunteers, research, expertise) and outputs - activities (teaching, facilitation, product development and people (number of people and demographics).
Which product or services by WorksForWeb did you use?
How did our products and services help?
Why do you choose this product?

Result

The main purpose is to show that the benefits are real, quantifiable and compelling

What resulted? Use quantitative and qualitative data to describe important outcomes (changes and benefits) achieved as a result of the actions described earlier.
Who benefited and how? Help the reader understand the meaning behind the change.
Describe the benefits you achieved (including benefits like increased customer satisfaction or reduced stuff turnover) in most-important-to-least-important order.

Perspective

The main purpose is to show that achieved excellent results are the part of continuous growth and you are full of plans and perspectives.

What is the perspective for the future?
Is there a next stage that you now plan to implement?
How do you plan to change your business in future?
What are your goals and intentions?

You just need to follow the CARP-model and it will keep you from becoming confused while writing your success story. Answer all questions and you will get well-structured and clear success story.

And some more tips:

- Don’t forget about the appealing lead to the story
- Use attractive pictures
- Proofread the text
- Use active vs. passive voice
- Read it aloud before submitting somewhere
- If the story seems too long, delete one or more of the least important facts from the story .
- Try to follow the classic structure for writing a success story: Problem and Solution, Before and After, Then and Now.
- Focus on the reader’s interest (usually in terms of how clients benefit).

Good fishing!

Just imagine that your classifieds site is one of the most successful in the on-line classifieds industry, but no one knows about this fact. The both sides - you and your prospect clients - suffer. You are not properly rewarded for your efforts because nobody knows about your excellence and your clients  don’t know what good services are available for them to use and how they can be benefitted.

You should do something to make the public to get to know about your accomplishments. How?

We’ve got the answer! Write a success story! Success story, case study, customer testimonial - whatever you call them they are a valuable sales and marketing tool, as their main goal is to impact public and make them visit your site and use your products or services. Almost everybody loves to read about success stories. They are always about a challenge, new experience and looking for solutions.

What Is a Success Story?

In general, success story is an example of a successful practice when a company has achieved documented successful results. Success stories can be as short as 3-4 paragraphs or as long as 20 pages. It can be distributed in print, as PDFs, in the company newsletter, it also can be posted on the Web site, distributed at conferences, packaged and tailored to particular audiences for customer meetings, and sent in direct mail packages.

Why to write success stories?

·         To give your readers an example of real successful project. Examples will help to understand difficult concepts and complex business issues. And solutions that can solve the issues.

·         To generate empathy to enable readers to empathize with the challenge that you faced in the success story, in case your readers face a similar problem. The goal is make readers to closely identify with the author of the relevant success story.

·         To add credibility. People believe success stories because such case studies usually relate a factual situations, besides they are full of real facts. A good success story full with facts and figures can also demonstrate ROI (if the documentation of a return on investment is possible). 

·         To share your ideas and to learn what works and what doesn’t work.

·         To let the public know that you do good work that positively impacts the lives of people

Anyway writing a success story about your business can not only provide the competitive advantage that your business need, but give you additional reason to be proud of yourself which is also important for a successful businessman like you.
