E7, The Inspiration For Our New Help & Support Center!

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 13:00:12 GMT

E7, The Inspiration For Our New Help & Support Center!

Web Wisconsin launches its new Help & Support Center — built around our E7 approach to client support

Great customer service in website design and digital marketing starts with a clear promise: Web Wisconsin desires to put clients first, communicate clearly, and deliver results that help small businesses grow. Our new Help & Support Center centralizes everything you need — fast answers, step‑by‑step guides, and a human touch — so local businesses get the website and marketing support they deserve.

• Visit the new Help & Support Center: www.WebWisconsin.com/support

Why Web Wisconsin invested in and developed a better Help & Support Center for our clients:

Reduce wait time:
Quick, practical solutions keep sites and campaigns running smoothly.

Save time:
Clear tutorials and templates help business owners and teams handle updates faster.

Build capability:
Training resources let businesses manage marketing and content more confidently.

Increase results:
Better support leads to higher conversions, more leads, and stronger search performance.

Introducing E7 — Web Wisconsin’s New Model For Exceptional Client Support

To make our Help & Support Center a true partner for small business websites and marketing, our owner, Bob Turner, developed the E7 approach to inspire even better client success with our team. Web Wisconsin is implementing E7 starting now to get a great start to an even more successful 2026 and beyond. This goal of greater success is aimed at our clients, which, in turn, brings us success as well. We mean it when we say that "Your success is our success".

What Is E7?

E7 is a newly developed business philosophy that Web Wisconsin's owner, Bob Turner, created that includes seven guiding principles that shape every sales and support interaction, ensuring clients receive consistent, expert, and human-centered service. Let's go through them each briefly to help you understand E7 more:

1.) Empathy

We begin by listening. In every ticket, chat, or phone call, our team seeks to understand your business goals, customer needs, and constraints. That client-centered approach helps us make recommendations that fit real-world budgets and timelines.

2.) Efficiency

Prompt, correct, and clear responses are built into the Help & Support Center. We offer concise troubleshooting steps, quick video walkthroughs, and streamlined ticket escalation so clients can implement solutions immediately. Efficiency means fewer delays for site updates, SEO fixes, and campaign adjustments.

3.) Expertise

With over 25 years of website design and marketing experience, Web Wisconsin brings deep knowledge of website design, e-commerce, and digital marketing best practices — plus specialized use of our Connect all-in-one business solutions, features, and tools. If a question falls outside our immediate expertise, we’re honest about it. There's nothing wrong with admitting: “I’m not sure about that, but I’ll consult the team and get back to you.” That transparency builds trust and takes the pressure off our team as well. After all, nobody is an expert at everything, all the time.

4.) Earnestness

We value truthful, fair communication. We set realistic expectations for timelines, costs, and measurable outcomes. We’ll be upfront about trade-offs and focused on a practical path forward so clients understand what to expect and when.

5.) Effectiveness

Every support action is goal-oriented. We prioritize fixes and improvements that increase conversions, leads, and search visibility. From landing page optimization to local SEO and conversion tracking, our focus is on delivering measurable results quickly and reliably.

5.) Empowerment

The Help & Support Center is packed with tutorials, templates, and live training to help clients manage content, run email campaigns, and interpret analytics without waiting on a developer. Empowerment means clients gain the skills to update their sites, test ideas, and grow independently.

7.) Excellence

Perfection isn’t realistic, but striving for excellence defines Web Wisconsin’s work. We review feedback, iterate on support content, and continuously train our team so clients receive high-quality design, marketing, and support services.

How E7 comes alive in the Help & Support Center:

Centralized resources: step‑by‑step knowledge base articles, short tutorial videos, and downloadable checklists focused on web maintenance, SEO, and conversion optimization.

Fast triage:
Clear ticket categories and service levels so urgent issues (downtime, security) get immediate attention.

Guided onboarding:
A friendly kickoff that uses empathy to capture goals and set expectations.

Short training sessions:
Recorded demos and live screenshares to empower clients with practical skills.

Measured outcomes:
Regular performance reviews to ensure effectiveness and continuous improvement.

Web Wisconsin Services: (what we do best)

Our main services are website design, digital business solutions, and ongoing marketing and support. The Help & Support Center complements these services by providing the documentation, coaching, and real-time help clients need to maximize the value of their investment.

E7: An Inspiring Commitment

E7 isn’t a slogan — it’s a promise born from real experience and a desire to serve better. Web Wisconsin's owner, Bob Turner, created this framework because he wanted Web Wisconsin to be the kind of partner that listens first, acts effectively, and empowers our clients to stand taller in their markets. Implementing E7 starting now means we’re committing to smarter support, higher impact, and stronger client results in 2026 and beyond! Starting today!

We're Excited To Connect & Grow With You!

Web Wisconsin cares about people more than pixels. We measure success by how confident our clients feel, how clearly they can run their businesses online, and how often they see real growth from our work. When clients succeed, we succeed — and we want to treat that responsibility with humility, honesty, and relentless attention to detail. Visit our Help & Support Center to learn more about E7, browse resources, or start a conversation with our team — and see how Web Wisconsin can support your goals with care and clarity.

Everyday is Christmas

Our Dev. Team works very hard to continually update all of the Connec t features and occasionally give us even more features too. We enjoy so many updates daily and weekly that we jokingly say "Everyday is Christmas!". For instance, as of last night, with only 1 day into the workweek, our Changelog already shows 7 updates from our Dev. Team! That is simply amazing. I don't know any other service that your business could benefit from and get so many benevolent updates from than Web Wisconsin and our amazing Connect Dev. Team! We are so thankful to have partnerships that have hundreds of developers working so hard on so many aspects and features to help your business connect and grow!

Featured Updates

You might be asking why we don't send email updates to you, our valuable client on all of these Dev. Team updates. The reality is, there are just way too many updates. Your inbox would get annoying (in a good way, if that's possible) with all of the updates on a daily basis. There are simply too many! So we post all of the Connect updates from our Dev. Team to the Changelog and create a blog post about our "Featured Updates" . Those Featured Updates get posted to our blog on our Web Wisconsin website and also get put into an email newsletter that gets sent out to you.

Filter By Feature

Our Changelog has so many updates for our Connect solution , that you could just keep scrolling and scrolling to see almost endless updates from our Dev. Team. However, what some may not know is that we have a great feature on our Changelog that allows you to filter the view based on the feature category. This is also a great way to see the many numerous feature types that Web Wisconsin 's Connect all-in-one business solution offers your business.

Article: Restaurant FAQs on Surcharges, Convenience Fees and Cash Discounts

Mon, 13 May 2024 13:30:00 GMT

Wisdom Adapted From An Article By: Wisconsin Restaurant Association

The following is a collection of wisdom adapted from a website page on the Wisconsin Restaurant Association . We encourage you to read their full article linked below.

Restaurant FAQs on Surcharges, Convenience Fees and Cash Discounts

Discover the essential guidelines on implementing surcharges, convenience fees, and cash discounts in your restaurant with this informative FAQ article by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association. Whether you're considering adding these fees or refining your current practices, this article provides practical advice to ensure compliance and customer satisfaction. A valuable resource for any restaurant owner or manager aiming to navigate the complexities of additional charges while maintaining transparency and fairness. Worth a read for insightful tips and strategies.

Here is our brief synopsis from the article:

Understanding Payment Surcharges and Discounts:

What Businesses Need to Know

When it comes to payment options, businesses often face additional costs, especially when dealing with credit card transactions. To manage these costs, some businesses opt to include surcharges or offer cash discounts. Here’s a brief overview of what each entails and the rules businesses must follow.

Surcharges

A surcharge is an extra fee added to the published price when a customer pays with a credit card. This fee is intended to offset the costs that businesses incur from credit card processors and networks. However, it's crucial for businesses to note that surcharges:

Cannot be applied to debit card transactions, even if processed like a credit card transaction.
Must be clearly communicated to customers before the sale through visible signage in-store and specific notifications in online settings.
Are capped at a maximum of 3% or at the actual cost of the credit card transaction processing, whichever is lower.

Cash Discounts

In contrast to surcharges, cash discounts are reductions on the published price for customers who pay in cash. This strategy encourages cash transactions which don’t incur processing fees. The key points about cash discounts include:

The published prices should reflect the amount payable by credit or debit card.

Like surcharges, transparency is crucial. The discount must be clearly deducted from the advertised price.

Dual Pricing

An alternative approach is dual pricing, where businesses display prices that include the credit card transaction fee. This method doesn't add a surcharge at the point of sale but rather integrates it into the displayed price. It requires clear communication and possibly a more sophisticated POS system.

Convenience Fees

These are charged for the convenience of ordering via certain methods such as online or through kiosks, not for the payment method used. These fees must also be clearly disclosed before transaction completion.

Compliance and Transparency

Regardless of the approach, compliance with rules set by credit card brands and consumer protection laws is non-negotiable. Failure to adhere to these rules can result in fines, legal action, and possible termination of merchant accounts.

---

For businesses considering implementing any of these pricing strategies, it's essential to stay informed about the regulations and ensure all practices are transparent and fair to consumers. Always consult with a payments professional or legal advisor to make sure your business remains compliant while navigating these options.

We Have 1 HUGE Update & 3 Additional Updates For Invoicing & Payments!

✨ HUGE Update: Buy Now, Pay Later

Big News for Web Wisconsin Clients: Introducing Buy Now, Pay Later!

We’re excited to bring you a game-changing update that can transform the way you handle your business transactions. Web Wisconsin is proud to announce that we now support Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options for paying invoices, making your business operations smoother and more flexible than ever before!

Introducing BNPL for Your Business

Keeping track of business expenses while managing cash flow can be challenging. That’s why we’ve teamed up with leading BNPL providers such as Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay/Clearpay to offer you a range of flexible payment solutions. This new feature is supported through Stripe, ensuring a seamless integration into your current billing processes.

How Can BNPL Benefit Your Business?

Immediate Cash Flow Management:
Purchase what your business needs today without depleting your resources, allowing you to maintain liquidity and invest in growth opportunities.

Flexibility:
BNPL is available for both one-time and recurring invoices. This flexibility means you can manage payments in a way that suits your business cycle.

Increased Buying Power:
With BNPL, you can potentially increase your purchasing power, enabling you to scale operations or upgrade systems without significant upfront investment.

Getting Started with BNPL

Using BNPL for your business invoices is straightforward:

Choose Your Payment Method: When you receive an invoice from Web Wisconsin, select BNPL as your payment method through the Stripe payment gateway.
Select the Provider: Depending on your location and the transaction currency, choose from Affirm, Klarna, or Afterpay/Clearpay.
Manage Settings: You can manage BNPL settings and opt-out options directly from your Stripe dashboard under the 'Invoice' payment configuration.

Tailored to Your Regional Needs

We understand that every business operates in its unique context, which is why the availability of specific BNPL providers may vary based on your region and the currency involved. This ensures that you are getting a service that’s not only reliable but also compliant with local financial regulations.

Why This Matters for Your Business

In today’s fast-paced market, having the ability to defer payments while still accessing necessary services and products can be a strategic advantage. Whether you’re looking to better manage your cash flow, invest in marketing campaigns, or simply streamline how you handle large payments, BNPL provides a cushion that can help stabilize financial operations.

We are thrilled to offer this new payment flexibility and believe it will make a significant difference in how our clients manage their business finances. Start leveraging the power of BNPL today and give your business the room it needs to grow and thrive in competitive environments.

We've upgraded our autofilling technology to save you time and reduce errors. Whether you are using browser extensions or services like LastPass, our system now supports enhanced autofilling of both user and card information on payment links and invoices. This means less manual entry and faster processing, allowing you to focus more on your business and less on administrative tasks.

3. More Prominent Invoice Naming

We've noticed that many of our users send invoices with the default name, which can be confusing when managing multiple accounts or services. To make this process clearer and more intuitive, we've introduced a new feature where you can easily rename your invoice right from the 'Send Invoice' popup. This ensures that every invoice sent out is correctly named, minimizing confusion and enhancing organization.

Why These Updates Matter

These enhancements are not just about adding new features—they're about creating a more intuitive, efficient invoicing process that saves you time and effort. By improving how product descriptions are handled, making autofill smarter, and simplifying invoice naming, we're helping you streamline your operations and reduce the administrative overhead associated with managing payments and invoices.

Maximizing Efficiency: The Benefits of a Virtual Receptionist Phone Menu System

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 21:47:12 GMT

Benefits Of Virtual Receptionist!

Maximizing Efficiency:
The Benefits of a Virtual Receptionist Phone Menu System

Efficiency is a crucial factor for businesses to succeed in today's competitive market. As a professional author who has worked with numerous companies, I have witnessed firsthand the impact that efficiency can have on a business's bottom line. One area where efficiency plays a significant role is in communication systems. In this article, I will explore the concept of virtual receptionist phone menu systems and how they can revolutionize business communication.

Key Takeaways

Efficiency is crucial for successful business operations
A virtual receptionist phone menu system is an automated system that directs callers to the appropriate department or person
This system saves costs, improves customer experience, and increases productivity
Customization options and integration with other business tools make this system even more efficient
Choosing the right provider is important for maximizing the benefits of a virtual receptionist phone menu system

What is a Virtual Receptionist Phone Menu System?

A virtual receptionist phone menu system is a sophisticated technology that serves as an automated receptionist for businesses. It is designed to handle incoming calls, direct them to the appropriate department or individual, and provide callers with relevant information. Unlike a traditional receptionist who physically answers calls and transfers them manually, a virtual receptionist phone menu system operates through an automated menu system.

How Does a Virtual Receptionist Phone Menu System Work?

A virtual receptionist phone menu system operates through a series of features and functions that streamline the call handling process. When a call comes in, the system greets the caller with a pre-recorded message and presents them with a menu of options to choose from. The caller can then select the desired option using their phone's keypad, which directs them to the appropriate department or individual.

To illustrate how it works, let me share a personal anecdote. A few years ago, I was consulting for a small tech startup that was struggling to handle their increasing call volume. They decided to implement a virtual receptionist phone menu system to streamline their communication process. The system allowed them to customize their menu options based on their specific needs, such as sales inquiries, customer support, or general information. This customization ensured that callers were directed to the right department without any delays or confusion.

Benefits of a Virtual Receptionist Phone Menu System

Some of the Benefits of a Virtual Receptionist Phone Menu System

1. Improved customer experience

2. Increased efficiency in call handling

3. Reduced wait times for callers

4. Cost savings compared to hiring a full-time receptionist

5. 24/7 availability for callers

6. Customizable menu options to fit specific business needs

7. Call routing to appropriate departments or individuals

8. Call tracking and analytics for performance evaluation

Implementing a virtual receptionist phone menu system can bring numerous benefits to businesses. Let's explore some of the key advantages in detail.

1. Cost Savings:

One of the most significant benefits of a virtual receptionist phone menu system is the cost savings it offers. Hiring a traditional receptionist can be expensive, considering the salary, benefits, and training costs involved. On the other hand, a virtual receptionist phone menu system requires a one-time investment and minimal maintenance costs.

To further illustrate this point, let me share another personal experience. I was working with a medium-sized law firm that was looking to reduce their overhead expenses. They decided to replace their receptionist with a virtual receptionist phone menu system. Not only did they save on salary costs, but they also eliminated the need for additional office space and equipment. The cost savings were significant and allowed the firm to allocate resources to other areas of their business.

2. Improved Customer Experience:

A virtual receptionist phone menu system can greatly enhance the customer experience. By providing callers with a clear and organized menu of options, businesses can ensure that their calls are directed to the right department or individual promptly. This eliminates the frustration of being transferred multiple times or being put on hold for extended periods.

I recall a situation where I called a large telecommunications company for technical support. Instead of being greeted by a live receptionist, I was directed to their virtual receptionist phone menu system. The system guided me through a series of options related to my issue, and within minutes, I was connected to a knowledgeable representative who resolved my problem efficiently. The seamless experience left me impressed with the company's commitment to customer satisfaction.

3. Increased Productivity:

Another significant benefit of a virtual receptionist phone menu system is the boost in productivity it provides. With an automated system handling incoming calls, employees can focus on their core tasks without interruptions. This leads to increased efficiency and allows businesses to accomplish more in less time.

To illustrate this point, let me share a personal anecdote from my time working with a marketing agency. They implemented a virtual receptionist phone menu system to manage their high call volume. The system not only directed calls to the appropriate departments but also provided callers with relevant information, such as office hours or frequently asked questions. This reduced the number of repetitive inquiries received by their employees, freeing up their time to focus on more critical tasks. The increased productivity resulted in improved client satisfaction and overall business success.

Stay tuned for the next part of this article, where we will delve deeper into the cost savings associated with a virtual receptionist phone menu system.

9/12/2023: Zoom + Google Meet Now Available in Collective Bookings!

We are thrilled to announce the exciting new addition to Collective Bookings!

Our team has been hard at work to enhance the user experience, and we are proud to introduce the integration of Zoom and Google Meet into our platform. Now, alongside individual bookings, you can generate collective bookings with the option to include a Zoom or Google Meeting link. This fantastic feature not only streamlines the booking process but also allows for seamless collaboration and communication among participants.

We invite you to explore this awesome enhancement and experience the convenience it brings. Kudos to our incredible team for their dedication and innovation in making Collective Bookings even more remarkable!

08/08/2023: Add Named Guests + Send Them Custom Forms on Bookings!

Overview:

To make meetings smoother, we've made it easy to invite others. When your attendees book with you, they can add guests too. You can get guests' Name and Email, or simply ask the main attendee for the count of guests.

Previously, invitees had to forward the calendar invitation to include additional guests after scheduling the meeting. We've enhanced the process by allowing them to directly add participants' names and emails or count of guests within the Calendar booking widget.

This would also ensure that the guests added would receive the appointment notification on the email address provided by the Primary Guest (attendee who is booking the appointment) along with the form link in case of a Custom Form.

Calendar Types Supported:

Simple Calendar (previously Unassigned Calendars)
Round Robin Calendars
Collective Booking Calendars

Email Notifications:

Email notification would be sent out to all the participants of the appointment, including the primary attendee and their guests.

How would custom forms work for the added guests?

With custom forms, the main attendee fills it during booking. Guests get the form link in their appointment email to provide custom info. This option can be controlled and turned on/off in settings.

How would payments work in this case?

In case payments is enabled for the Calendar event, then in that case the payment would only be for the primary attendee and not for the guests.

Guests payment would not be collected in the same booking flow, however the guests can be added to the same appointment.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates! We're continuously working to provide you with the best tools to streamline your business operations.

08/08/2023: Businesses will now be able to void a sent/overdue/paid invoice!

This solves a major pain point when a client cancels in between a scheduled recurring template and there are some pending invoices that were never paid. Voiding an invoice eliminates the friction with such invoices which are no more collectible and disturb the overall payments statistics.

If the invoice was paid (card payments or recorded manually), the associated transaction needs to be fully refunded first to void the paid invoice. Businesses also have the option now to fully/partially refund manual payments recorded on invoices

Voided invoices will not be visible in the list view by default, but can be specifically filtered using the Void filter. If an invoice is voided, it will not affect the invoice statistics displayed on the Invoices list page. Audit logs will be maintained for all the void, delete and refund actions performed

Awesome job payments team!

If a user doesn’t have access to a particular module, they will see the corresponding chart as locked, indicating that permission is required to view the data. This ensures that sensitive information remains secure and accessible only to authorized personnel.

In addition to functionality improvements, we’ve also focused on aesthetics. We have streamlined our brand colors to create a visually cohesive experience, while sleek charts have been acquired to enhance usability. The result is a polished and modern design that is not only beautiful but also intuitive to navigate.

To further enhance usability, we’ve introduced a filter option specifically for users of sub-accounts. This allows you to easily segment and analyze data based on specific criteria, providing you with deeper insights into your business performance.

And that’s not all! We have also added a global date filter at the top of the dashboard. This powerful feature enables you to quickly adjust the date range for your data analysis, ensuring that you always have access to the most relevant information.

Please note that this update may impact any custom CSS you have implemented. We recommend planning ahead to ensure a seamless transition and to make any necessary adjustments accordingly.

This will allow you to create documents that reflect your brand and effectively communicate your message to potential clients.

Insert Multimedia

Our new Estimates & Proposals feature allows you to insert images, videos, and table elements into your documents. This can make your proposals more informative and appealing to potential leads, thereby increasing the chances of conversion.

Product List Element

With the ability to insert a product list element, you can present an approximation of the costs involved in fulfilling the service. You can add product line items, apply taxes, and offer discounts to showcase the costs associated with the proposal or estimate.

Digital Signatures

Our exciting new feature also includes the ability to accept digital signatures on documents from potential leads or clients using the Signature element. This means you can send a document via email and allow potential clients to accept and digitally sign the document after reviewing it.

Signature Certificate

When a client signs a document digitally, our system will generate a signature certificate by capturing the required information such as the IP address and customer name/email. This certificate acts as a valid document for the authenticity of the digital signature and will be added as the last page of the signed copy of the pdf.

Automatic Receipt

After the document is accepted and marked as finished by the client, they will automatically receive a signed/finished copy pdf. This ensures transparency and ease of record keeping for both parties.

We at Web Wisconsin believe that this new feature of Estimates & Proposals is going to revolutionize how businesses interact with their potential leads. It’s all about making processes easier, faster, and more efficient. We’re excited for you to try it out!

07/28/2023: Proactive vs. Reactive Reputation Management & Why You Need Both

How customers view your brand can play a significant role in your business’s success and growth — no matter the size of your business or your industry.

A positive online brand reputation can help you build customer loyalty, drive sales, increase trust, and generate positive word-of-mouth marketing and customer reviews. It can help you stand out from your competitors.

As a result, incorporating online reputation management strategies is no longer nice to have — they are becoming essential. So you should have a system to manage your reputation and ways to respond in case of a reputation crisis.

In this post, we explore what proactive and reactive reputation management means, why you need both, and tips on using these strategies.

What is proactive reputation management?

Proactive reputation management involves strategies to help you shape, improve, and maintain your brand reputation on an ongoing basis.

Ideally, you start these strategies early on, so you can use these strategies to:

Attract more customers
Build and strengthen brand loyalty
Enhance your online reputation
Increase conversion rates

These strategies help you consistently earn customers’ trust by showing you value them.

For example, Chewy, an online pet supplies company, shows the power of proactive reputation management with their moving and heartfelt responses to customers whose pets passed away.

A customer reached out to Chewy to cancel their auto shipping for pet food because their pet had passed. The representative helped and spent time with the customer , letting her talk about her pet.

Chewy also has sent grieving pet owners handwritten cards and flowers. They make the process of canceling auto shipping or getting refunds easy.

These actions by Chewy are thoughtful, helpful, and show they care, which strengthens brand loyalty and enhances their reputation. Additionally, many of these customers shared their experiences online, including leaving positive reviews. This provides Chewy another chance to engage and support, showing other consumers what they are like as a company.

What is reactive reputation management?

Reactive reputation management is more like having a crisis management plan. It helps businesses address and respond to events to minimize brand damage, like responding to negative posts, comments, or online reviews.

These events can be related to something the brand has accidentally done or something they couldn’t have predicted or was out of their control. For instance, the company Tide could not have envisioned a YouTube challenge to eat Tide pods would emerge. Yet the company had to address this issue to repair damage to its brand reputation.

Another way reactive strategies can help is by responding to negative reviews or comments on social media. For example, when a customer raises an issue or problem, Whole Foods addresses it promptly, provides understanding, and a solution when possible.

This type of reactive reputation management helps the customer feel better about the company and shows others how that brand handles problems, which can help establish trust.

Why do you need both?

Reputation management is an ongoing process. Ideally, you want to establish systems to nurture and maintain your brand’s reputation using proactive strategies.

These proactive strategies also help reduce the need for reactive ones since the goal is to shape, improve, and maintain your online reputation continuously.

But even the most thoughtful companies will eventually have a negative review or event that pokes at their brand’s reputation requiring reactive reputation strategies.

So incorporating both proactive and reactive management into an online reputation management system will enable you to handle all possible situations effectively — helping you avoid damage to your brand’s reputation while building and maintaining customer loyalty.

05/24/2023: Reputation Management Updates Internalization, Enhancements, & Bug Fixes!

We are thrilled to announce the latest updates to our Reputation Management system! Our team has been hard at work implementing key enhancements, bug fixes, and internalization features to provide you with an even better user experience.

One of the exciting additions is the implementation of “Do Not Disturb” (DND) functionality for Review Requests, allowing you to manage your communication preferences effortlessly. Additionally, we have made significant improvements to the attribution of Review Request sources, ensuring that workflows, bulk actions, and manual users are properly credited.

Furthermore, we have enhanced the address formatting in both Review Request Emails and the Review Widget, guaranteeing a seamless and polished presentation. Last but not least, we are delighted to announce that our system is now fully internationalized, allowing you to effortlessly manage your reputation on a global scale.

Upgrade today and experience the power of our enhanced Reputation Management system!

11/27/2020: Smart Reviews!

As you know, your online reputation, rating and the reviews that are posted about you are more important today than ever. Your online reputation is based on the reviews that are posted about your business. It can literally make or break a business today. With problem in mind, Web Wisconsin is introducing the solution!

Our new "Smart Reviews" software helps your business get a better reputation online and showcases your 5 star reviews throughout your website while enabling your happy clients to broadcast their 5 star reviews on Google, Facebook, Yelp & more!

You will need to then click on the new "Trust Center" on the top and go through all the steps in this section to verify and register your phone number for this. Approval may take a few days, so if you have not done so already, we recommend doing this as soon as possible.

*Please keep in mind that there may be fees for the A2P-registration. We have no control over this whatsoever as it is not a fee from Web Wisconsin but rather a fee for this process.

New: GEO-SEO Pages To Help You Get Found On Google

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 12:05:12 GMT

If you want to help your website and business get found in the different areas that you provide service to, you're going to love this!

New: GEO-SEO Pages!

GEO-SEO Pages are a new product offered by Web Wisconsin that will help target specific areas that you provide service at!

What are GEO-SEO Pages?

The name is actually an abbreviate of Geographic, Search Engine Optimized Website Pages. These are specifically designed to help Google and other search engines find your business in the areas in which you provide services or want to be found online.

The Problem

Let's say you're a plumber in Sun Prairie. Your Google listing and website clearly state that you're in Sun Prairie and that you service areas, cities and towns near you, but Google is limited on what they offer to those other communities' search results, so you may not get found over a local favorite in that specific area.

The Solution

GEO-SEO Pages can be built for the specific areas you want your services to be found in. So you have Web Wisconsin build GEO-SEO Pages for your company in Madison, Deforest, Windsor, Columbus and as far as Janesville or Milwaukee... or even in another state. This can greatly help your business and/or services' potential in getting found in those areas in search engine results.

Launch Sale Pricing

For the launch of this new & exciting product, Web Wisconsin is offering a special sale pricing. Choose 1 of 4 different packages and get GEO-SEO Pages at a discounted sale price:

New Online Ordering Function: Out Of Stock

Thu, 26 May 2022 18:43:39 GMT

“Out of stock” feature in the new order-ta king app !

From now on restaurants are able to mark an item or an add-on/choice in their menu as “out of stock” from the new order-taking app. This new option is located in the app’s Settings -> Availability:

To mark an item or a choice/add-on as “out of stock” click on the respective menu item and select the time period for which that item/add-on becomes unavailable:

These settings in the order-taking app will immediately reflect in the restaurant admin panel. Even more, locations under a chain that share a menu can mark an item as “out of stock” in the app although they do not have this setting available in the admin panel, where they can only preview the menu.

This feature applies only to items and add-ons/choices, not to menu categories.

Announcing: TikTok Marketing!

Web Wisconsin just launched TikTok Social Media Marketing and we couldn't be more exited! We're kicking off the launch of TikTok Marketing with a sale price . You can get it today at a hugely discounted price with our biggest Social Media Marketing sale !

TikTok is one of the many things that took us all by surprise this past year. Having reached more than 1 billion monthly active users, it has become a social media powerhouse.

However, maintaining a TikTok account can be arduous, especially when all the newest trends require you to dance. Fret not, because you can easily manage it now with Publer, and no, you don’t have to do any dances (but you are definitely encouraged to).

Get ready to consistently perform well by creating and scheduling TikTok short videos that resonate with your target audience, all done for you by Web Wisconsin!

We are going to take a look at how to optimize your TikTok strategy to save time and perform better with each video.

What is TikTok and Why do I Need it?

TikTok is a video-only social media network that has become wildly popular in the last couple of years, specifically with Generation Z. It hosts various videos that can have a duration from 15 seconds to 3 minutes. This entertaining, educational, and uplifting community shares millions of videos from different genres such as dances, singing, lifestyle, entertainment, business, entrepreneurship, education, food, fashion, and countless other categories. By using this social media you are directly appealing to a younger audience, and if done properly, creatively, and authentically, it can create a huge impact that translates to respect and admiration for your brand. Scheduled business posting on TikTok has been a long time coming, and now that it is here, there is no reason for any brand to not be performing great in the virtual home of Gen Z.

Get your business noticed on TikTok today with Web Wisconsin's TikTok Marketing !

The last and most important tip is, creating a community. Everyone loves an authentic brand, so don’t be afraid to show your face, to be silly, or to share real and heartfelt moments that speak to your brand.

GoDaddy Hacked

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 23:46:18 GMT

Proving Once Again, Cheaper Is Usually Not Better

As most of us know: Cheaper is usually not better!

We warn potential clients all the time about not trusting your business online presence with cheap huge companies where you are only a number to them. Companies like Wordpress, GoDaddy and more offer cheap cookie-cutter products but typically fail to offer security and service to their clients.

This has most recently been illustrated with the huge hack found with GoDaddy and over 20 million of their users! Worst of all... GoDaddy was hacked a while back and just found out or realized it. Their customer's privacy and secure details (including emails, phone numbers and possibly more) were stolen when they were hacked!

Don't trust your business to these huge companies that only think of you as a number but don't provide the security and service that you need to keep you, your family, your business and your customers safe! Web Wisconsin always uses the latest and greatest technology to ensure your safety. Building on our partner platform that utilizes AWS, arguably the greatest and most secure online platform today, Web Wisconsin cares about our client's online security and future protection from hackers and identity theft too! We've been caring for your security for years now!

Check out these other articles regarding SSL and internet security for our clients:

SSL: Website Security

SSL: Included In All Plans

Connected Data: Now in the HTML Widget

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 17:36:18 GMT

You can now use Connected Data with the HTML widget, and use the HTML widget in Dynamic Pages, expanding your site possibilities

The newest Connected Data addition is the HTML widget. It enables you to add connected data elements to your HTML widget, and use the HTML widget in your dynamic pages.

How to Use This in Dynamic Pages

The HTML widget allows you to add customized code to your site. With this new addition, you can combine connected data elements in it.

For example, if you want to embed an element in your Dynamic Page – a podcast from SoundCloud, an external calendar or any customized code – and you want it to be different in each dynamic page, you can store the ID in your collection and embed the code in the HTML widget. In the widget itself, click ‘Connect’, select the ID field, and paste it in the relevant place.

Use Case: Add a Podcast to Every Dynamic Page

If we take the podcast “Design Matters’ and embed it in our site, we’ll notice 3 differences between the embedded codes: track ID, URL slug [the end of the URL] and guest name. If we store these 3 elements in the collection, we can embed the code once, and connect it.

Eye Dropper: Now in the Color Picker

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 17:32:16 GMT

Match colors on your site quickly an d accurately with the new eyedropper tool, now part of the Color Picker.

Build great-looking sites more quickly using the new eye dropper tool, which enables you to match colors on your site quickly and accurately. Now part of the Color Picke r.

Match colors perfectly on your site with the new eyedropper tool, which enables you to pull a color from anywhere on your site - images, texts, you name it - and match it perfectly somewhere else. No need to spend any time trying to figure out a color’s exact name or value.

The eyedropper makes it easy to design great-looking, consistently colored sites, quickly and easily.

You can use it to:

Pull a color from an image, and use it for the headline or button.
Pull a color from anywhere on the screen and drop it in the editor.

This feature is enabled in Chrome 95 and higher.

Invest In Your Success

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 21 Nov 2021 16:48:37 GMT

Website & Marketing Should Not Be Considered An Optional Expense.

It Is A Mandatory Investment In The Growth & Success Of Your Business!

Stop saving and use that money to grow.

Whatever your fears may be, success is always going to be measured in growth. This means the smart thing to do is to put your profits and excess energy into expansion. With this strategy, you’ll have the best chance of cornering the market.

This strategy also means you should view spending as much more important than saving.

Think of it this way:

Money that isn’t being used isn’t very useful, is it?

The only money that matters is money that is helping you grow.

This also makes good tax sense. While profits are always taxed, money that’s re-invested in your company is usually not taxed or can usually be used as a tax deduction for your business, making these dollars more valuable at the end of the day. So it’s wise to always be on the lookout for growth and investment opportunities, including new markets to expand into and new avenues to explore.

Because most business investments for marketing can be used as tax deductions, it's like rewarding you for investing in the growth of your business! Why wouldn't you do that!?

In his book "Be Obsessed Or Be Average", Grant Cardone recommends spending 30% to 40% of your profits on expansion opportunities.

But if those expansion opportunities are proving hard to find, then the next best thing is to spend that money on publicity. Generally speaking, money spent on marketing, advertising and social media is never wasted. When publicity works and you become a household name, those previously elusive expansion opportunities will soon be knocking at your door.

Whatever you do, don't try to be a “one-man show.” Being a leader means guiding your team to success, and often this means having a bigger team or investing in a partnership with a marketing agency such as Web Wisconsin to help grow your business!

Invest in the success of your business and make this a new and normal practice. Ensure that you are always investing in the future growth and profit increase of your business by investing in your website and effective marketing. Contact Web Wisconsin today and we'll be happy to offer you a complimentary consultation to help you with a wise investment towards growing your company and increasing your profits!

IndexNow: Enabled for All Sites

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 17:40:34 GMT

Your sites now support IndexNow, the proactive initiative supported by search engines to ensure they index your freshest content.

Sites now support IndexNow, the new protocol that aims at making sure that a website’s most recent content is indexed by search engines. Last month, Bing & Yandex a nnounced their support of the new protocol .

IndexNow enables websites to submit updated content directly to search engines and have the content immediately crawled. This means search engines can update their index and search results with the freshest content.

How it works with your sites

When you publish or update a site or page, we will automatically submit it to Bing, Yandex and all other search engines which support IndexNow. This will trigger a crawl from these search engines to update the content in their index, to show it faster to searchers.

We handle all the tasks of supporting the IndexNow API, including:

Discovering which pages have updated content and submitting only those to the IndexNow API.
Fulfilling IndexNow security measures by generating a unique token per website and submitting that to search engines. (This also ensures that no one can spoof updated content for your site.)
Automatically submitting updated content on your site.

You don’t need to lift a finger!

The best news is that you don’t need to do anything at all to take advantage of this improvement. It’s automatic. And as always, if you don’t want your context indexed by search engines, you can turn off indexing in the page settings of each page.

Facebook: Animated Text

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 15:58:26 GMT

Facebook Now Offers Animated Text!

Facebook has a really fun featured called "Text Delight" which is basically automatic text animation and special effects when you type certain words and phrases and a user clicks on them. These special effects can appear over your entire browser screen and offers a brief animation to make your conversations and comments more interesting.

Keep in mind that Facebook is regularly adding, removing and changing these so this list will not be exhausted and some phrases may no longer work in the future. But here is a list we have found so far:

Congrats
Best Wishes
You're the best
You got this
Wonderful time
Rad
Lovely Time

Pexels: Your New In-Editor Source of Free Images

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 15:29:07 GMT

The next time you add images from the image picker, you’ll be choosing from outstanding images from Pexels, the new source of images integrated directly into our website editor. Pexels replaces Unsplash, and offers an outstanding pool of stock photos for all types of business websites.

Great Free Images, Right in the Editor

Pexels is your new source of free images. Unsplash, our previous image source, was purchased by Getty and became a paid service. Pexels is an excellent alternative, offering fantastic images and videos, at no charge. As previously, you can purchase premium images, powered by Shutterstock, directly from the editor.

No change to existing site and template images

Images that are already in your sites and were uploaded from Unsplash are not affected by this change. Ditto for templates. If the images were from Unsplash, they’ll remain in the template. Also, if you want to continue using Unsplash for images, you can do so from their site. Just go to Unsplash, download the images and upload them to your sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

New Collection Fields: Social Accounts

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 05 Sep 2021 15:35:05 GMT

Your newest collection field is Social Accounts, which enables you to add social accounts / social icons to your Dynamic Pages.

Adding Social Accounts to Collections & Dynamic Pages

Collections and Dynamic Pages make it easier to build multi-page websites. Your newest field addition is Social Media accounts and it enables you to automatically add social media info that’s saved in a collection to a Dynamic Page.

For example, let’s say you’ve used a Dynamic Page to build a team page on your site. You can now add social account info for each member of the team to the collection connected to that page. If a team member’s details change, or a new team member is added, you can just update the collection and the website will update accordingly.

Social accounts are available in all collection types: Internal Collections, Google Sheets, Airtable and External Databases.

Flex Improvement: Hide on Breakpoint

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 16:05:20 GMT

Thanks to your feedback, we've developed more ways to hide elements on specific breakpoints. This makes it easier for you to control exactly how sites built in Flex look on different screen sizes.

Hiding elements on breakpoints

Hiding elements per breakpoint is a great way to make sites look just right on every screen size. For example, a complex design that looks perfect on desktop may seem cluttered on a smaller screen size. Hiding elements allows you to adjust a design per breakpoint, so it looks great on every screen.

To making this easier in Flex, we’ve added more ways of hiding elements:

1. From the layers panel , locate the element you want to hide and click the eye icon.

2. Right-click on the element to display the context menu and select Hide on this breakpoint .

3. Click on an element to display the floating bar , then click the snowman icon (3-dot icon) on the right to reveal the menu and select Hide on this breakpoint . (Note: This method is not yet available for Grid, Container and Flexbox elements.)

You can also hide an element using keyboard shortcuts: Shift+Command+h for Mac. Shift+Control+h for Windows.

Note: To show an element that's been hidden, open the layers panel and click the eye icon.

Better Blog SEO: Set Post Meta Title

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 15:54:09 GMT

Make it easier for people to find your blog posts online, and improve blog post SEO, by setting a unique meta title for your blog posts. This enables you to set a title that’s the optimal length for SEO and has the best keywords.

A few words about meta titles

Meta titles are the titles that help search engines understand what a specific page is all about. They are displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs), web browsers and social networks.

Until now, the meta title for your blog posts was the same as the blog post title itself. So if your blog title was 21 Ways to Earn 1 Million Dollars Before Noon without Leaving Your Office , that would be what search engines displayed on their SERPs.

Now, you can edit the Meta title field so it's the optimal length and has a CTA. For example: Earn 1 Million Dollars Before Noon. Learn how!

Your new meta title field

Open the settings of any blog post and you’ll see the new meta title field at the top of the Post Metadata section. It includes a character counter, so you know exactly how many characters are in the meta title.

The original post title will appear by default. You can leave it as it is or replace it with an alternative title that follows meta title best practices:

Optimal length is no more than 512 px (between 45 and 65 characters)
Place the most important words at the beginning of the title
Include keywords, unique selling points and a CTA, if you can

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 16:28:56 GMT

You've got even more places to use Flex Sections. Add them to your blog post layout, so you have all the creativity and flexibility of Flex, right inside your blog.

Add Flex to Your Blog Post Layout

Your blog is built from a single layout that is used for every blog post. This is good for SEO and blog management, and provides a great user experience. It also means that when you change the layout post design, all posts are automatically updated.

Now you can add Flex sections to your blog post layout, bringing all the design creativity and flexibility of Flex to your post design. In the site editor, click Blog in the right panel. (If your site doesn’t have a blog yet, this will add one right away.)

Click Edit Layout to open the Layout Mode. Once you’re here, add a Flex section anywhere you like, customizing it as you do in the rest of the site. For example, you can add Flex to the header of the post, the area visitors see first when they open a post. If you do add Flex to the header, make sure you reconnect the title, author and post image to the post settings.

When you’re ready, click Save. The new post layout will appear in all site posts: current and future.

New Connected Data Permissions: Manage & Edit Data

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 16:21:44 GMT

You’ve got more control and flexibility when it comes to who can access Connected Data and what they can do with it with two new Permissions: Manage Connected Data and Edit Connected Data. Existing clients are not affected by this change, and will have the same access as they did before.

To make it easier for you to manage your website, new permissions give you granular control over what you can (and cannot) access.

Manage Connected Data

This new permission gives client access to Connected Data and the Content Library, as well as full editing capabilities. It’s the same level of access that was previously available in the Full Editing permission. With it, and in addition to full editing, clients can:

Create and disconnect Dynamic Pages
Edit connected data

Edit Connected Data

This new permission only allows clients to edit data in widgets that are connected to the Content Library.

It does not allow clients to change (add or remove) the connection, nor does it allow them to access the Content Library.

Full Editing: Updated Permission

This permission no longer includes access to Connected Data or to the Content Library. If you want clients to have access to the Content Library, give them the Content Library permission.

Lock Collections

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 16:49:45 GMT

Protect your site and make your life simpler by locking specific collections so other can’t edit them, even if they have editing permissions.

If you’re using collections to build your site, you know how important it is to protect the integrity of those collections. Now, you can protect collections from editing with Lock Collections .

Lock completely prevents others from changing anything in the collection.
Lock structure enables others to edit content and add rows. (Available with Internal Collections only)

Saves you time: Clients with the Content Library permission can access and update the Internal Collection on their own, without any effort from you.

Collections API: JavaScript Improvements

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 17:01:27 GMT

If you’re using the Collections API to build custom widgets, this update is going to save you time and improve performance by returning filtered, sorted, and paginated data from your collections using JavaScript.

Tips & Gratuity: Now on Your eCommerce Sites

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 19:51:54 GMT

Boost revenue and let customers show their appreciation with Tips - now on your eCommerce site.

Boost revenues on your eCommerce site by adding Tips & Gratuity at checkout. This enables happy customers to show their satisfaction and appreciation; it can also be used for crowdfunding and donations.

Enable Tipping & Watch Revenues Grow

Tips have been a service industry standard for years. Who doesn’t go to a restaurant without leaving a 10 or 15 percent tip? Now, with so many transactions taking place online, tips are moving to eCommerce, which is great news for your eCommerce customers.

This new tipping capability enables tips to be added to any type of online store: from restaurants providing take-out and delivery to cake shops, flower shops, clothing stores and more. Simply add the tip button at checkout and select the amounts you want to offer customers.

You can choose whether customers see their tipping options as a percent of the total cost (5%, 10% or 20%) or offer set tipping amounts ($5, $10 or $20). You can also customize the text above the tipping buttons, so it reflects the tone and style of the site. Tips are automatically calculated and displayed, so the entire process is simple and transparent.

3 Ways to Integrating Tipping into Your Online Store

Old-fashioned gratuity: For customers in the restaurant business, tips are a common practice in brick-and-mortar establishments, so it will be familiar to online customers too.

Supporting small businesses: Everyone knows these are complicated times and some businesses turn to crowdfunding to help them over a hump. If your client’s business needs money, they can let dedicated customers know and use this feature to collect funding.

Donations: This feature can also be used to collect donations for non-profit organizations. Adjust the text on the tipping button so visitors know how the donations will be used, and you’re set to collect.

Dynamic Page Items: Now in Site Navigation

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 19:48:24 GMT

Using Dynamic Pages? You can now add links to the page items right to the site navigation, for easy and intuitive access for site visitors.

Increase the visibility of your Dynamic Pages by adding them to your site navigation. It’s a great way of bringing more visitors to these pages, by increasing the page exposure and making them easier to access.

Site Navigation is the number one place visitors go when they are looking for information. Now you can add links to your Dynamic Pages here too, so visitors find these pages as easily as they find any other pages on your site.

Simply make sure there’s a page or folder in the site navigation that will be the parent link for the dynamic pages you want to display. Once you’ve got this, here’s what you need to do:

In the Pages panel, click the settings icon beside the dynamic page you want to display in the navigation.
In the context menu that appears, click Hide/Show on navigation > Show on all .
In the popup that appears, select the parent link for these pages and then choose the field you want to display.

To change any of this information at any time, click Hide/Show on navigation > Set nav info .

An example for adding Dynamic Page to your site navigation

Let’s say you’ve got a business site and you've used Dynamic Pages to build pages for 10 employees. Here's how to integrate them into your site navigation:

Create a Regular Page or Folder called Team in the site navigation.
Open the Pages panel and locate the Dynamic Page you used to build the team pages.
Click the settings icon beside that page, click Hide/Show on Navigation > Show on all .
Select the Name field and team member names will display under Team in the site navigation.

For Dynamic Page with more than 20 page items, we suggest adding a List widget or Photo Gallery to give access to the page items.

Custom HTML

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 12:17:14 GMT

A Quick Note On Custom or 3rd Party HTML

Web Wisconsin's website editor is flexible in that it allows you to both modify existing code or add your own. Doing this allows you to extend the functionality of the platform and provides you with additional features. For example, you can add a custom calendar widget or even a third-party custom contact form for taking payments on your site. This article will cover three different methods of adding custom code to your site if you choose to do so.

A Word Of Caution

As a quick note on adding 3rd party HTML snippets to your website, we do not provide any support for custom or 3rd party coding and/or software. It is also important to note that custom coding can possibly interrupt or disrupt service and features of our website editor and overall features and services that we are providing. When you insert or request insertion of custom HTML, you do so at the risk of knowing it may cause issues that we do not provide support to resolve. We highly recommend using one of our provided widgets or even a 3rd party App from our App store instead. That being said, we do still allow custom HTML but you do so at your own risk.

HTML Widget

The HTML widget is the easiest method of adding custom code to your site.

In the left panel, click Widgets, and drag the HTML widget into a column or row into your site and paste in your code.

Edit Custom Code

After adding custom code with the HTML widget, click the widget in your editor to edit your code.

Sometimes, however, due to the nature of the code it is not possible to do this as easily. In this case, you can select the container to see if you can edit the entire container (which will include the code).

Edit Inline Code

To edit the code of anything in your site:

Right-click where you want to edit the code, and then click Edit HTML/CSS to get view the code of anything in your editor.

The code editor displays for the code you are editing. Once there, click Documentation to read the documentation before you start changing code.

NOTE

While you can edit the CSS in the developer mode, it is not recommended that you add any new selectors in this menu. You can add new rules to selectors here without a problem. For creating new CSS selectors, please do this through developer mode.

Developer Mode

You can view the code of your entire site within the editor. To access the code, click </> at the top right of your editor.

The code for your site is broken into sections to allow fine tuning over your site.

For more information on developer mode, see Developer Mode in our help section:

https://support.multiscreensite.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053818293-Developer-Mode

FAQs and Troubleshooting

If you broke your site with custom code, you can fix it by:

Restoring to a backup
Fixing the code manually
Accessing a different part of the page

For a full guide on troubleshooting custom code, see How Can I Troubleshoot Custom Code:

https://support.multiscreensite.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053820313-How-Can-I-Troubleshoot-Custom-Code-

Do You Have Anyone That Can Help With Custom Code?

Unfortunately we cannot help nor provide any support for any custom or 3rd party coding, software, etc.

Some Guidelines For Custom Coding Are:

Create a backup
Use a test page

Dynamic Pages Improvement: Easy Editing

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 18:42:44 GMT

It’s easier to edit Dynamic Pages built with Internal Collections with Edit Row, now directly from the dynamic page.

Editing Dynamic Pages built with Internal Collections is now easier, with Edit Row available directly from the dynamic page itself. Clicking on the Edit Row icon opens the editor for the row corresponding with the page you’re on, so you can make edits quickly and see them right away.

Easy and quick

With Edit Row in your Dynamic Page, you don’t need to open the entire collection to edit the content of a single page. Simply open the page in Dynamic Mode and click Edit Row at the top of the screen.

This is the same Edit Row feature we released recently from the Internal Collection; now, it’s available directly from the page, too. From this editor, you can update text, images, etc. and see the edits right away on the page. As always, make sure you Republish your site after the edit to set it live.

Animations: Now on Mobile & Tablet

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 18:37:05 GMT

Add animations to your mobile site and draw visitors' attention exactly where you want it to go! Bounce the buttons and zoom into the images you want your site visitors to notice.

Create dynamic, attention-grabbing experiences on all versions of your site with animations on mobile & tablet . Draw attention where you want it to go with bouncing buttons, zooming images, columns that fade in and more.

Getting Started With Your New Mobile Animations

You’ve got the same great Entrance Animations on mobile and tablet that you've had until now on desktop. Use them to help site visitors focus as they browse your site, so they know where to look and what to do.

To add animations to mobile or tablet site versions click the context menu of the element you want to animate on the relevant device and click Entrance Animation. You’ll find eight animations to choose from.
Note: Animations are separated between desktop, mobile and tablet.

Mobile Animations - Best Practices

Animations are a great way of drawing visitors’ attention to specific elements on your sites and encouraging them to take the actions you want them to. You can also use them to solve problems - for example, encourage visitors to scroll down with an animated downwards arrow.

As on desktop, animations on mobile should be added thoughtfully, so keep the following best practices in mind:

Mobile & desktop are different. Mobile sites tend to be more playful, so the animations you choose for them can reflect this. For example, what looks right as a fade in animation on desktop may look better as a bounce on mobile.
Use animations in moderation. Too many animations can distract and confuse visitors, so choose where you add them wisely.
Think about site hierarchy. Animate elements that are more important rather than those that are less important. For example, it may be more important to animate a Shop Now button than it is to animate a Read more link.
Choose the right type of animation. Not all animations are created equal. Bounce is fairly aggressive; fade is much more subtle. Choose the animation according to the element you’re animating and the site’s look and feel.

To get started with mobile animations, open any site, click the mobile view, and start adding animations!

Product Gallery Customizations: Button & Label Text

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 18:20:41 GMT

Add your own text to Buy Now buttons, On Sale labels and Sold Out labels, so you use these texts to support your site look and feel.

You can now add your own text to Buy Now buttons, On Sale labels and Sold Out labels in the Product Gallery Widget. With this additional customization, you can use these elements to increase conversions by further supporting your store’s overall look and feel.

Customize Texts for Better Conversion

In addition to all the current customization options in the Product Gallery widget, you can now control the display of 3 key elements, increasing your ability to make each gallery suit a specific set of products and the site’s style and audience.

Buy Now Button: You can now change the default Buy Now text to something that suits your store tone. For example: Purchase, BUY, Brew It, Get it, and more.
On Sale Label: This label automatically displays when you set a reduced price on your store. You can now change it to something that suits the exact discount or creates a sense of urgency. For example: Reduced Price, Even Cheaper, 50% Off, Last Chance and more. Note that it's the same for all the sales items so make sure you use a generic label.
Sold Old Label: When an item is out of stock, you can now change the default Sold Out label to Too Late, None Left, More on the Way and more.

In addition to adjusting the text on these elements, you can also adjust the size, color, fonts and more.

Ready to try it out?

To start exploring these new flexibilities, open any Product Gallery widget on your site and start editing. And if you haven’t added a Product Gallery widget to your stores yet, now’s the time!

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 18:03:14 GMT

Increase conversions & boost revenue with What's New and On Sale galleries featuring newly added products or products with reduced prices.This is a subtitle for your new post

With the 2020 shopping season around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start sprucing up your eCommerce site. And you’ve got two new Product Gallery widget filters to help you do it: On sale & What's new .

With these filters, you can increase conversions and boost revenue by building galleries that focus on new products.

Have selected products on sale?

The On Sale category automatically displays items that have been marked down in your store catalog, so they can be highlighted in their own gallery.

Have new items in stock?

Highlight them with a category filtered to What's New , and you’ll automatically display products that have been added within the past 30 days.

Both of these filters will help you improve conversion and boost sales by drawing attention to the most interesting elements in your store.

Product Gallery Widget: Increase Sales with Stunning Storefronts

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 17:55:49 GMT

Increase eCommerce sales and create stunning, fast-loading storefronts with the new Product Gallery Widget.

Create a fantastic shopping experience on your eCommerce site with the new Product Gallery Widget. Flexible, quick-loading and synced with your Store Catalog, it enables you to create high-converting product galleries that are easy to design, effortless to maintain, and bring a new level of design capabilities to your online stores.

Increase Sales with Fantastic-Looking Storefront s

The new Product Gallery widget has all the flexibility of the Image Gallery widget, making it easy to build fantastic-looking storefronts on your eCommerce sites. Choose from multiple layouts, control fonts, colors, buttons and more, for maximum impact and effectiveness.

Boost Site Lighthouse Scores

When you use the Product Gallery Widget the page loads faster, so it’s great for site speed. Add it to your homepage instead of the Main Store widget, and boost your Lighthouse scores.

Unlimited Galleries per Page

You can build separate Product Galleries for every category in your store, arranging them on the same page according to their order of importance. For example, want to highlight fall accessories? Place an Accessories gallery at the top of the homepage and arrange more Product Galleries below, each displaying a different store category. Set the order on the page according to which elements you want visitors to see first.

Effortless Maintenance with Automatic Store Data Sync

The Product Gallery widget syncs directly with the Store Catalog, updating automatically according to your store stock. Items go on sale? Run out of stock? A product is moved from one category to another? Whatever happens in the Store Catalog automatically updates in the widget, so there's no maintenance required.

Building Gorgeous Store is Easy. Here’s How

1. Open an eCommerce site, go to the Widgets panel, and add a Product Gallery Widget.

2. In the widget's Content Editor, choose the category you want to display. To change store content (add categories, move products from one category to another, etc.), go to the Store Settings.

3. Products in the category you choose automatically display in the widget. Customize the layout, fonts, button styles and more in the design tab.

4. Add as many Product Galleries as you like to display your full store variety.

Just Added: 16 New Fonts

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 13:30:23 GMT

They say you can’t have too much of a good thing, and we certainly agree when it comes to fonts. That's why we're so happy to announce that you’ve got 16 new fonts in the platform, for a grand total of almost 250.

Your New Fonts: Some Highlights

Handwriting Fonts

You've got six, super trendy fonts featuring cursive letters that mimic handwriting. They're terrific for creating eye-catching titles and tag lines that have a personal touch. Avoid using them for paragraphs or long texts because they can be a bit hard to read.

Bold sans serif fonts

Several of the new fonts are modern, rounded fonts, with no serifs (serifs are the little feet on the ends of the main letter strokes). These fonts tend to be easy to read, and are great for designing longer texts.

Multiple font weights, for even more variety

Several of your new fonts come in multiple font weights, giving you even more design options. For example, Jost comes with 7 weights, Gothic A1 with 8 weights, and both Epilogue and Spartan have 9 weights apiece.

Even more typographic possibilities with the new text editor

The new text editor gives you additional styling techniques that increase your design options even more. ALL CAPS, character spacing and huge font size options (up to 500px) give you plenty of room for creativity.

A few words more words about fonts

A well-designed website should have no more than three fonts, and these should be chosen with care. Choose clear, readable fonts for long texts, and save the more creative fonts for headlines and short sentences. Think about the look and feel of the site, and choose fonts that compliment.

Schedule Blog Posts

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 13:47:21 GMT

We are so excited to introduce you to one of our highest requested features: Scheduled Blog Posts!

Publishing fresh content on your sites on a regular basis is important for bringing new and returning visitors to your sites. With the new Schedule Blog Post capability, you’ve got a content management tool built right into your blog. Use it to set up blog posts in advance, so you can plan your content strategy, manage resources, and keep your sites filled with fresh, relevant content.

5 Benefits of Scheduling Blog Posts in Advance

1. Enables you to manage content and plan ahead

When you schedule posts in advance, you have one less thing to worry about, because you know the content will go live when you want it to.

2. Easier to maintain a consistent blog schedule

Keeping a consistent blog schedule - posting once a day, once a week, or twice a week - is important for any content strategy. By scheduling posts in advance, you ensure that they go live according to that schedule, even when you’re not there to post them.

3. Great for collaborating with team members & freelancers

If you’ve got someone on your team dedicated to blogging, this tool enables them to set up several blog posts for a single site, then move on to another site. It boosts efficiency and often leads to better quality content.

4. Post at the best time for your visitors

The writers on your team may not be working at the same time that site visitors are reading content. Set the time when you want your posts to go live to coincide with the best time for your readers.

5 . Reduce stress during your busiest seasons

Once you have a line-up of blog posts set to be published at a certain date and time, you won’t have to write under stress to meet deadlines.

Blog writing is an excellent services offering

For many agencies, blog writing services are a great way to increase their service offerings. If you’ve hesitated to do this because of the increase in overhead, this tool can seriously reduce the stress, by enabling you to prepare a content management strategy and stick to it with advance posting.

To explore this new capability, open the blog on any site, go to blog settings, and click Schedule post. Available for unpublished posts only.

Check out more info about our text editor updates here!

ALL CAPS: Now In Text Editor

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 13:17:27 GMT

All about ALL CAPS

All caps is a great tool for emphasizing a word or two on a page, and for creating uniformity between words when no single word is more important than another.

Now, with the All Caps option in the new text editor, it's easy to convert selected text into all caps.

A few words of caution

As with all great things in life, all caps should be used in moderation. When a sentence is entirely in capital letters, it is harder for people to read than when the letters are in lower case, because there is less shape contrast between the letters. This can slow people down as they read. Make sure to emphasize what's important and not everything.

Using all caps can also make people think you’re shouting. So, while you may want to use them for messages such as LAST CHANCE or HUGE SALE, you may want to use a different emphasis technique (for example, underline, bold or italics) for other texts.

Check out more info about our text editor updates here!

Update: Dynamic Pages SEO

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 14:58:40 GMT

The latest Dynamic Pages improvement enables you to have regular site pages and Dynamic page items with the same URL path. This improves the sitemap, so search engines can scan your entire site, with all pages and page items, and get the full relevance and context of the site.

What Does This Mean for Your Site?

Until now, if you created a Dynamic Page for your team (for example: www.site.com/team ) and wanted a regular page with a Photo Gallery that featured all team members, you’d have to use a different URL path for that page (for example: www.site.com/our-team).

Now you can use the same URL path for the regular page ( www.site.com/team ) and the page items generated from the Dynamic Page (like: www.site.com/team/pam).

Why is This Good for SEO?

Page items generated from the Dynamic Page now appear as subpages of the regular page. This enables search engine bots to crawl the entire site, which improves SEO because it means search engines can discover and index all of its content.

Saved Colors - For Faster, Consistent Site Design

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 14:55:50 GMT

Using the same colors across an entire website is a cornerstone of good design practice. The new Saved Colors capability helps you do just this, enabling you to save the colors and gradients that you use in your site, so you can easily reuse them over again.

When designing a site, you may find yourself experimenting with different options until you find the one that works best for the site's look & feel.

After colors are saved, you can easily select them for any element on the site, saving you time while making it easier to build a great-looking site.

The Importance of Color Consistency on Your Site

Keeping colors consistent on a website, and with a company's branding, is important for building a professional, well-designed site, one that allows site visitors to have a smooth browsing experience.

Save Colors & Gradients in Every Color Picker

Saved Colors is available in the Color Picker everywhere - widgets, fonts, design elements, etc. To start saving colors and gradients right now, just open the Color Picker, click the Saved Color tab, and click the plus sign to save the color or gradient that you choose.

There are so many great reasons to use Coming Soon messages on your sites. And while the classic, website-under-construction message is certainly one of them, it's definitely not the only one.

Here are a few situations in which add a Coming Soon message can generate excitement, anticipate and leads:

Building a new website.

This can take time, so rather than publishing a not-yet-ready site, or having no web presence at all, having a Coming Soon page indicates to visitors that they have something to look forward to. Including a field to collect email addresses enables you to generate leads via this page, so you can let visitors know when the site is live.

Adding a new page on an existing site.

Let site visitors know something new is coming to the site. It will give them a reason to come back.

Announcing the launch of a new project.

A coming soon page is a great way for gathering leads, so you can let people know when the new project is ready.

Announcing an upcoming store collection.

For businesses that offer seasonal collections, a Coming Soon section is a great way of talking about a new Collection before it’s ready to launch.

In these situations (and more), a great Coming Soon Section can be used to attract new leads and gain followers in a variety of different ways. For example, by including a form for collecting email addresses, adding links to the company's social networks, including a phone number or email address for getting more information.

Something for Every Type of Style

As with every batch of new Sections, you’ll find a range of styles, themes and colors - something to suit every type of site.

To see the new Sections for yourself, start editing any site, click the “+” that appears between rows, and scroll down the right menu in the Sections panel until you see the Coming Soon category.

Business Info Facelift - Multiple Locations & More

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 14:37:23 GMT

Are you a business with multiple locations? This update makes your life easier - and your site(s) more organized - by enabling you to keep details for multiple locations in the Content Library.

It also enables you to store business hours for each location, a capability that’s particularly important right now, as business hours are more changeable than ever.

Multiple Locations, One Storage Spot

In the past, you could only store information about a single location in a site’s Content Library. Now, you can have as many locations as you like, as well as key information for each location, including:

Location name

Business hours

Phone numbers

Email address

Store Business Hours Too, So They’re Always Accurate

You can now store Business Hours here too, giving you a single spot for storing them, so they are always consistent on the site.

Organizing Info in the Content Library

There are lots of great reasons to manage every site’s Business Info in its Content Library:

• Saves time when you update the site

• Keeps site info up-to-date and accurate

• Makes the info easily accessible for site widgets and Connected Data

Clients with Full Editing or Content Library permissions can edit locations and business hours on their own, saving time and effort, and keeping your site up-to-date.

New Store Feature: Add To Favorites

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 26 May 2020 14:32:00 GMT

Your online stores are improving all the time. The newest improvement: online shoppers can now tag Favorite items in your stores, so they can come back to them later and purchase. This encourages visitors to return and is great for boosting sales.

The feature is available with Special Offer, Advanced and Unlimited store plans.

Favorites are the way to go

The favorites button makes it really easy for shoppers to browse through your site and collect the items they like. They just click the Favorite button and the item is added to their Favorites list. Items that have been “Favorited” can be viewed together, on any device, by clicking the Favorites link in the site’s menu.

Customers don’t need to log into the site to see Favorites. Items marked as Favorite are stored for all site visitors.

Turn on Favorites in your stores right now!

To enable it, go to Store Panel > Settings > General > Cart and checkout and enable Favorites.

Automated Favorites Products Reminder is ready too

You can also send automatic email reminders to remind site visitors that they’ve marked items as Favorite.

Just go to Store Panel > Marketing > Automated emails and turn on the Favorite Products Reminder email.

Free App: Usercentrics - Consent & Cookie Management

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 18 May 2020 14:29:10 GMT

Introducing Usercentrics , the Consent Management Platform (CMP) now available free in Web Wisconsin's App store. With Usercentrics, you'll enable your sites to comply with internal privacy and data collection regulations such as GDPR.

Usercentrics enables businesses to obtain and document consent, so site visitors can control third-party technologies on the website. Usercentrics follows the industry gold standard IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. Adding it to your website enables you to go to market seamlessly, without having to worry about which tracking code does what, and which data it collects.

How Usercentrics works

Usercenterics works as follows:

1.) Identifies a website’s data collection and tracking technologies and prevents them from loading.

2.) Obtains consent from site visitors to load tracking technologies.

3.) Gives site visitors control over which tracking technologies they allow to load and provides information about them.

Usercentrics integrates seamlessly into your site, and takes just a few steps to install.

After installation, a new floating widget and cookie consent banner is added to your website. By default, tracking scripts and third-party embedded code will not load for site visitors. This means visitors won’t be tracked by analytics such as Google Analytics, and services that perform tracking like YouTube, Facebook and SoundCloud won’t fully load until the user enables them.

Free version, now in the App store

We are releasing the free version first. This version scans websites, identifies technologies used and classifies them. It adds a widget to the website which allows visitors to opt-in to tracking.

Stay tuned - we’ll be releasing a paid version in the future, one which gives you more design control and complies with other data privacy legislation like CCPA, consent analytics, and more.

To get started with Usercentrics right now, open the App Store, add it to your site, and follow the instructions.

Update: Blog Tags - Now Easier To Use & More Accurate

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 07 May 2020 14:24:44 GMT

Adding tags to your blog posts makes it easier for readers to find what they’re looking for. It’s now easier, too, with the tag autofill, which makes tagging posts quicker and ensures that the tags are consistent and error-free.

Once you’ve got tags in your posts, filter the posts in the All Posts widget, so all of the posts relating to that topic show up in the widget. This makes it easy to customize the blog posts you display to specific pages of your site and ensure that no posts are missed.

TAGGING POSTS IS IMPORTANT.

HERE'S WHY:

Makes it easy to arrange site content

When you add blog posts to your site, you want them to be found. Adding tags to your posts enables them to be filtered so they can be sorted according to topic.

Let’s say you have a blog on a fitness site that includes articles about cycling, running and swimming. Tagging each post with the relevant sport means you’ll be able to filter them in the All Post widget and then display the posts on specific pages on the site. For example, posts with the tag “cycling” on the Cycling page, posts with the tag “running” on the Running page, etc.

Autofill makes everything easy and error-free

Autofill improves the tagging process by ensuring that tags are consistent, and saves you time by suggesting tags you’ve already used. Going back to the Fitness site example, autofill makes it easier to ensure that all running-related posts are tagged with the same word (“running”) and not variations of it.

HAVEN’T ADDED TAGS YET TO YOUR POSTS?

NOW’S THE TIME:

Adding tags to your posts is simple and quick. Just open the Blog panel, click Post Settings beside a post, and scroll down to the Tag field. Once you’ve typed in a tag or two in the post, scroll to the next post and repeat. Once your posts are tagged, you’ll be able to filter them according to those tags, which will appear automatically in the Filter by tag option at the top of the All Posts widget.

Update: Share Widget - Choose the Icons to Present

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Wed, 06 May 2020 14:21:33 GMT

The Share widget makes it simple for site visitors to share your site with their friends. This is important for boosting organic traffic and conversion rates.

More Flexibility in Which Icons You Show

Now you can choose which icons to display on the widget for more design flexibility and enable you to customize the icons to the type of site you’re adding them to.

You’ve got five to choose from:

• Facebook

• Twitter

• LinkedIn

• WhatsApp

• Email

You can display all of them (that’s the default) or show just a few.

Choose from one of two great-looking layouts, one of which comes with the set colors and the other which enables you to choose icon and background colors. Add hover effects to draw attention to the icons when visitors hover.

Shrinking Header - Change: Text, Button, Icon Colors

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 05 May 2020 14:18:50 GMT

You’ve got more shrinking header flexibility than ever, and can now control the color of text, buttons, icons and more in headers that shrink and stay at the top of the page. This enables you to create great looking shrinking headers, with the best colors for your site design.

A shrinking header is a smaller version of the site header that appears when visitors scroll a site on desktop. Shrinking headers enable you to keep important information such as navigation, Calls to Action, social icons and more fixed at the top of the page, without taking up too much space as visitors scroll down the site.

They are particularly handy on sites with large headers, and sites designed for long scrolling, as they ensure that key information is always visible and accessible.

New flexibilities for more design possibilities

Until now, you could change the logo and background color on scroll. Now, you can also control the color of:

• Text

• Button text

• Button background

• Icons & social icons

• Selected page & hover

This makes it easier for you to create great-looking shrinking headers that contrast well with the regular header and complement your site design, highlighting icons, links, buttons and more, when visitors scroll down the site.

For example, if you had a transparent header with white navigation, you can now give the Shrinking Header a white background, and change the text, icon and button colors to another color, one that perfectly suits your site.

Header Improvements: More Control For A Trendier Look!

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 04 May 2020 14:14:56 GMT

The new overlap first row controller in the Header widget makes it easier to display header items above hero images. This gives your hero images more visibility and makes it easier to design great-looking, trendy sites.

This new flexibility enables you to make more of the hero image visible by letting the header overlap the first row. It’s great for sites with tall headers that have big logos or several rows. It enables more of your hero image to be visible, so it saves space and requires less scrolling.

How overlapping the header makes design easier

In the past, to enable a great hero image with an overlapping header, you had to go to Design > Site background > Background per page and add an image that covered the entire page (including the header) and then make your header transparent. That wasn’t ideal because you couldn’t position the image as you wanted, and you couldn’t have a video.

With this new controller, you don’t need a workaround anymore. Just add a great image to your first row, and turn on the overlap first row toggle on the header. As you do this, keep two things in mind:

• For the header:

Set the background color to transparent, or a color with opacity

• For the first row:

Use top padding that is equal to or similar to the height of the header

New Sections: Intro & Features

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 28 Apr 2020 14:11:25 GMT

We know many of you are building websites in record time these days, and we’ve got some new sections ready to help you do it quickly. You'll find these Sections in the Intro & Features categories. These Sections, designed to look great and convert, are just what you need to build new sites quickly or refresh current ones.

Intro Sections

These 5 new intro Sections feature large images, bold calls-to-action and clear, persuasive text. When replacing the content with your own, make sure you use high quality images and keep the text short and clear. Use bullets if you've got lots of information to convey.

If you've got two buttons (as some of these sections do) make sure you use different colors to distinguish between them. Placing identical buttons, side by side can make it hard for site visitors to choose which one they want to click on.

Features Sections

As for the Features sections, these ones are designed to accommodate for a bit more information. If the Section you use has three columns, try to keep the content in each column similar in the length, so the Section stays balanced on your site.

As always, you can use these sections anywhere on your websites. You can also save them as Team Sections so you’ll have them easily accessible at all times.

Improvements: External Collections

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 13:59:12 GMT

Collections are structured data where you store content displayed in Dynamic Pages. There are 3 types of External Collections: Google Sheets, Airtable and External Databases. The below improvements provide more External Collection flexibility, so it's faster and easier to use them.

Choose any field for the page item URL

You can now choose any field in your External Collection to represent the page item URL. (Previously, you needed to dedicate a specific field for this.) This improvement means you don’t need to adjust your database when you use it to build a Dynamic Page; simply choose the page item URL from an existing field.Make sure that the field you choose is URL compatible, has no spaces or special characters, and contains data for each row in the collection.

Greater External Database Flexibility

The following improvements save you time by enabling you to use your database as it is, without any adjustments to its structure.

• You can use a more generic JSON structure for your collection, without making any adjustments. Previously, external databases had to fit a specific structure.

• If you have a collection that contains data for more than just your site, and you only want to use some of the data, you can specify the path that you want to use inside the collection.

Automated Store Emails: Increase Sales & Retention

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 13:56:51 GMT

As eCommerce activities become even more important these days, the competition for customer loyalty is increasing too. New automated emails can help your clients stay top-of-mind amongst their customers by automatically sending emails at key points in their customer’s journey.

Improve your clients’ online sales and retention by enabling automatic emails in a click. Remind potential customers about abandoned carts, ask customers for feedback, or re-engage with customers who haven’t visited the store in a while - all automatically and with no effort from you or your clients.

Automated Emails, Ready To Be Activated!

You’ve got several automated emails, ready to be activated in your store panel, each one triggered by a different event. Have them sent automatically and bring customers back to finish their purchase, check out new items, and more. Add coupons to sweeten the deal and increase the chance of closing the sale; include social media links to increase engagement.

When automated emails are just what you need

Here are some examples of when automated emails reach customers at just the right moment in their shopping experience.

• A site visitor abandons their cart.

If a site visitor adds items to their cart but leaves before paying, an automated email sent 2 hours later may be the nudge they need to complete the purchase. If the email has a coupon, you’ll increase the chance that they make a purchase.

• A customer made a purchase last year.

Reminding that customer that you have new items in your shop may be just the thing to bring them back again.

• A customer just bought an item.

They liked what they saw in your store and may be willing to give positive feedback. An automatic email is a great way to encourage feedback.

Immediate benefits of automated emails

Enabling these emails can have so many benefits for your site, including:

• Increase sales.

Because these emails reach customers at just the right moment, they deliver higher open rates and generate more conversions than regular marketing emails.

• Cost-effective marketing.

It’s cheaper to keep an existing customer than to attract a new one. By targeting people who have already visited your store, it’s easier to convert and retain them as customers.

• Reduced effort.

Automated emails require no additional effort. Set them up once, and they’re good to go for every customer that triggers them.

Ready-to-send emails, already in your online stores

These emails are ready to send for all stores with an Advanced or Unlimited Store plan. To manage them, go to Store Panel > Marketing > Automated emails. Turn on one or all of the following emails.

Abandoned cart recovery email

Order confirmation with related products

Feedback request

“Thank you for shopping with us”

Inactive customer reminder

Purchase anniversary

Remember to add coupons for improved conversion and include social media links for better engagement.

Personalization Rules for Covid-19

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 13:52:04 GMT

Web Wisconsin is here for you and your business!

Update your sites about Covid-19 related changes with new Site Personalizations rules, especially designed for communicating with your site visitors right now. By adding Personalization rules such as popups, notifications and rows, you’ll show your clients that you’ve got their best interests in mind and site visitors will know they’re visiting sites that are reliable, relevant and up-to-date.

Personalizations rule for this unusual time

With all the changes around the world these days, it’s more important than ever to keep site information up to date. Personalization rules enable you to do this quickly and easily via a popup, new row, notification banner and more.You can add rules to convey any type of message you have. Some examples:

Let site visitor know about actions you're taking to make this period easier to for them.

Direct users for more info about the Covid-19 pandemic.

Announce that you started selling online.

Notify customers that a restaurant is open for deliveries and takeaway.

Offer contact details in case a business is temporarily closed.

Direct visitors on how they can donate to organizations that need help right now.

How personalizations work

Personalization rules are actions that take place on your site when a certain trigger occurs. The trigger can be based on time of day, number of site visitors, location of the visitor, device, etc. For COVID-19 related messaging, you may want the trigger to be as general as possible - for example, whenever someone visits the site.

As for the action, it can be a notification bar at the top of the site, a popup, new row and much more.

Exciting News: Video Backgrounds on Mobile & Tablet!

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 13:39:12 GMT

Video backgrounds - Now on your mobile and tablet sites!

Catch visitor’s attention, create a cool vibe, convey a complex message effectively, all with video backgrounds. Now available on mobile, tablet and desktop sites.

To add a background video, open any row or column and enter the URL for the video you want to display.On desktop, you can display Youtube, Vimeo and DailyMotion videos;On mobile, only Vimeo and DailyMotion videos will display.

Great reasons to use video backgrounds:

Create a great vibe:

If your client has a funky store, seasonal offer, or anything else that can be conveyed effectively with a video, use this instead of a hero image to create a big impact at first glance.

Simplify complex ideas:

If your client has a relatively complicated process they want to convey, videos are a great solution. They can convey a process from start to finish much more effectively than simple text.

Show your product in action:

Nothing is as effective as seeing a product in action. Create a high quality video that shows your client’s product being used and visitors will really see the value.

Food, food, food:

Restaurants, bakeries, cooking classes and more are excellently conveyed with videos that show fresh food being prepared or served.

Tips for creating great background videos

Use only high quality videos.

Adjust their position in the container so they look perfect on all devices.

You can also add text on the video. If you do, make sure to add an opacity overlay color (black, 40%) so the text is visible.

Add Images To Contact Forms

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 01 Mar 2020 14:36:09 GMT

Make your site forms clearer and easier to use by adding images to radio buttons and checkbox fields. When users can select an image (rather than a number or text) it’s easier for them to engage with the form, and this can mean more conversions for your sites.

Tips for designing forms with images

Images can be a great addition to contact forms on so many types of sites, everything from food-related services (choose the type of donut you want) to room options at a hotel, clothing options for a store, and much much more. For any type of contact form that you build, keep the follow tips in mind when choosing images.

Choose images that are of high quality and look good together.

Make sure the images are of the same height/width ratio.

To add clarity, you can show text with the images as a label.

WebP Images - Optimized For Faster Loading

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 14:33:58 GMT

Web Wisconsin is now serving WebP images for all site images, which means your site images load more quickly. This change automatically boosts site performance and requires no additional effort at your end. We take care of everything, automatically and behind the scenes.

Why WebP is great for your sites

WebP is an image format developed by Google that provides lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using this format, images are smaller and richer than in other formats, which enables them to load more quickly. For example, WebP lossless images are 26% smaller than PNGs and 25-34% smaller than JPEG images.

One more way we’re optimizing your images

In addition to converting JPEG and PNG files to WebP, we’re also adjusting the size of images so that they automatically fit their containers. It’s another effort we’re making, behind the scenes, so your sites load quickly and rank well on Lighthouse.

WebP images already in all new Web Wisconsin sites

In every new site you build, images will now be in WebP format. For all existing sites, simply republish the site and the images will be automatically converted.

Note:

- The change doesn't affect the image name

- SVGs and Gifs are not converted to WebP

- Safari doesn’t support WebP, so when your sites are delivered on this browser, images will be displayed in their original format.

Internal Collections - Making Dynamic Pages Even Easier

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 14:28:52 GMT

Dynamic Pages are now even easier to build with the new Internal Collections. Now you can manage all of your data directly inside Web Wisconsin, so you can create multiple pages quickly, based on a single layout, all without leaving the platform.

Simple, fast, no code required.

Internal Collections are real game-changer for Dynamic Pages - Here’s why:

Easy, easy, easy:

You can now create Dynamic Pages without connecting to an external platform or source - all from within the editor. This makes it easier and faster to get started.

Ready-to-use Dynamic Pages:

You’ve got 4 predefined Dynamic Pages in the editor (blank page, real estate, team member and single service) already connected to an Internal Collection. Simply add one to your site, update the content, and you’re set. No design required and no need to connect the widgets, because they’re already connected.

**Don't forget to add List or Photo Gallery widget to your site and connect it to the collection so visitors have direct access to the dynamic pages.

Optimized for SEO:

A s with all Dynamic Pages, the ones you build with Internal Collections can easily be optimized for SEO. Simply go to the Dynamic Page settings, click SEO, and connect the Page Title, Page Description and Social Networks Image to the right fields in the collection. You can also customize the URL for each dynamic page, which also supports SEO.

Accessible to clients too:

Internal Collections are located inside Web Wisconsin, so clients with the Content Library permissions can access them. This means they can update the content on their own, without affecting the design.

This new design flexibility enables you to change how your sites look on scroll by replacing the logo. It’s a simple way to make your sites more eye catching as visitors scroll.

Ok, this post is going to be a bit techie. So if you don't care about technical details, just know that we are always striving to keep your website and infrastructure up to date and secure.

As of today, visitors connecting to a Web Wisconsin website through a secure connection will connect TLS 1.3, if their device supports it (and most up to date browsers/devices do). This improved protocol speeds up the time it takes to connect to a website through a secure connection and also includes only the most secure cryptographic algorithms. This prevents problems that previously existed with TLS 1.2 where weak cryptographic signatures (like SHA-1) could still be used.

For those unfamiliar, TLS standards for Transport Layer Security . TLS 1.0 was first released in 1999 and replaced SSL (Secure Socket Layer) as the security protocol that web servers and browsers use to connect to each other. Since then, TLS has been the standard of what’s used on the web. TLS 1.3 is a big step forward and is the first major improvement in over 10 years (TLS 1.2 was released in August 2008).

The biggest improvement is the speed of the connection. TLS 1.3 removes an extra round trip (back-and-forth) communication between the browser and web server. It does this by having the web server send back the shared cryptographic key right after the first connection attempt request. In TLS 1.2, it required the browser (Client/device) to send this after the initial connection attempt. In short, it requires fewer steps.

Fewer steps are important, especially for users on mobile networks (or satellite) connections where the latency between the user and the server is high. Every trip to the server and back is slow -- so requiring fewer back and forth trips is a big improvement.

For Web Wisconsin, we are happy to partner with organizations to show continued investment in our infrastructure and use the latest technologies to keep our clients’ websites fast, secure and modern.

Photo Gallery - Auto Adjust Columns

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 14:20:03 GMT

Make your photo galleries look better every time by automatically adjusting the number of columns. This means your galleries will always look balanced, regardless of the number of images they display, so you can add (or remove) images without additional design editing.

Even easier to make your sites look great!

The auto adjust columns toggle is particularly handy when you’re using Dynamic Pages, as you don’t always know how many images will appear in each dynamic page that you render. It’s great for galleries connected to Instagram too, as whenever images are updated, the design will update accordingly to look just right.

To enable this capability right now, go to the Design Editor of any Photo Gallery widget in your sites and toggle it on.

Update: SSL - Now Included With All Plans!

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 01 Dec 2019 13:52:36 GMT

Effective immediately, every new site you build with a custom domain is automatically protected with SSL.

This means the connection between the site and its visitors is safe, visitor data is protected, and both you and your customers get a boost to your brand reputation.

Protecting the sites you build with HTTPS is incredibly important for your business, as it creates a positive experience for visitors, boosts your reputation, and builds trust with customers and potential customers.

Why SSL is so important for your sites, and your business

When your site has an SSL certificate, the connection between site visitors and the site is secure. This means:

Data transferred between the site and its visitors is encrypted, so no one can intercept it.

Content on the site can’t be changed by anyone other than the site owner.

Site visitors see a lock icon in the address bar, boosting the site’s brand reputation and increasing visitors’ confidence and trust.

When there’s no SSL certificate, browsers indicate that the site is “Not secure”; this discourages visitors from browsing.

The site gets a SEO boost for having HTTPS enabled on it.

All new sites with custom domain are automatically protected. If you have older sites that don’t have SSL certificates, now is the time to generate them, at no charge.

Import RSS Feeds to the New Blog

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 13:49:58 GMT

More flexible site design

By converting another page to the home page, it’s easier to implement changes smoothly because you can work in parallel while the site is live. Here are a few ways this new capability can make your life easier:

Site Under Construction:

If we're redesigning a site , we can build an Under Construction page and set it as the home page while you’re or we are working on the rest of the site. Once the site is ready, just set a new page as the home page.

New Home Page:

14 New Fonts Added

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 13:38:16 GMT

You’ve got 14 fantastic new fonts in the editor, making it easier for you to create modern-looking sites, easily and effortlessly.

These new fonts include both serif and san serif fonts, fun fonts that are perfect for titles and buttons, and more serious fonts that are right for paragraphs and bullets.

You’ll find the new fonts where you find all fonts in the editor: go to Global Text > Global Design panel or open the text editor and click on style. Simply choose the font that’s right for the look and feel of your site, and refresh the design in moments.

You can also use the new fonts to easily update a favorite template. Just open the template in template mode, change the font via Global Text, and you’ll change the entire template's look and feel.

A few tips about using fonts wisely

Fonts are a wonderful tool for supporting a site's distinct tone and style, and they need to be used wisely.Here are some tips for choosing your site fonts.

Use two (maximum three) fonts in a single website.
Too many fonts can be distracting and unattractive. Use a single font for paragraphs and general texts; use no more than two fonts for titles.

Choose serif fonts for a more serious look.
Serif fonts have little feet attached to the ends of the letters. They tend to look more traditional and formal.

Choose san serif fonts for a more relaxed look.
Sans serif fonts don’t have the little feet on the ends of the letters. They tend to look more modern and are easier to read on titles, buttons, and short texts.

Use bold, fun fonts for titles and short texts.
This is the place for using eccentric fonts as they draw attention to the text.

Make sure fonts are easy to read.
For paragraphs, a good font size is 15 to 18px. For titles, go for something bigger (40 to 100px).

Excellence Means Needing Help

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Sat, 06 Jul 2019 23:01:56 GMT

Steps to overcome settling for 2nd best for your business.

Excellence Without Exhaustion

Oftentimes local organization managers and business owners tend to have to wear many hats. With a tight budget and typically under staffed, small business owners are usually forced to do many things for their business that they are honestly not that great at. Local business owners wear a lot of hats but they don't have enough heads. You can't do it all. You can't be an expert in everything. With a limited budget and usually even more limited staff, how can a local business owner be better at everything they do while not breaking the budget? This brief article is to encourage you to become a true leader in business, with the aim of excellence in everything you do without the result of absolute exhaustion.

Chef, Accountant, Designer, Marketer, Janitor...

Nobody opened up their own pizza restaurant because they were a great website designer or digital marketing expert. They opened up their pizza joint because they make amazing pizza! That is their strength! Unfortunately, when you're a local business owner, starting up is very difficult and funds are extremely tight. So most small businesses are overstressed and overburdened with the owner playing the role of chef, accountant, graphic designer, digital marketer, website designer, janitor & many more roles that I assume I'm leaving out. This can lead to burn out very quickly. If it doesn't, it can lead to some if not many of these things being done poorly or neglected all together. And let's be honest: You don't need another full-time job! Let's be more honest, you don't have time to do it all... much less do it all with excellence.

Why Do We Settle?

No matter what your business is, it deserves to be communicated and marketed with professional excellence. No matter if you own a restaurant, auto repair shop, beauty salon, spa, or whatever you do; you started your business because you're great at the products & services that you offer. The reason business owners do all these other things is not out of greatness of skill in them... but out of necessity to get things done. Am I right? But doesn't your business deserve greatness at everything it does? Shouldn't everything that your next potential clients see be done with absolute excellence? Then why do we settle for less? We settle for less because for 2 reasons:

Pride

Like the old adage of the stubborn man that is too proud to ask for directions... most local business owners are too stubborn and prideful to ask for help. To be fair, it is a very humbling experience to have to ask for help in something. Most business owners are "self made" and rarely have had to ask others for help. We've all heard the old saying "If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself". And while that can be very true, the fact of the matter is that this attitude is not one of leadership nor business growth. It is one of control and sometimes pride. This attitude will control the quality of what you're doing, but will also hinder the future growth of your business. There is an old saying: "Pride comes before the fall". Let this be a sobering warning to you: Many small businesses close because the leader does not allow it to grow and succeed. You could become the bottleneck of your business' potential growth if you do not learn to trust certain tasks and projects to other people and professional partners.

Fear

The other reason we settle for less than excellence in areas that we aren't great in is because we wrongly assume that we cannot afford to partner with someone who is great at these other things. We don't bring experts to our weak (or not as strong) areas because we assume the cost will be too high or we simply fear we will lose our profit margins. Consider this long standing truth: Local business owners typically make decisions based on 2 things: Pride & Fear. This second point about price is not usually about pride as much as it is about fear. Fear of losing our hard earned profits. Fear that if we invest in our business in areas where we need help, we might spend up our profits and not be able to pay our bills, provide for our family or simply continue to do business next month. Sound familiar?

We Aren't Daring Enough

The truth is, most local & small businesses fail because the owner doesn't have the vision nor the courage to grow the business in daring ways. I don't mean this to come across as rude. It's actually commendable. We are scared to not be able to supply for and provide for our family. But there is the catch 22! We need expertise in areas like advertising, marketing, website design, etc. in order to grow our business but we are scared to invest to get such greatness from an outside partnership. We aren't daring enough! Now I do not think you should just throw your money at anyone who claims to be a "guru". I am saying local business owners need to be daring enough to take calculated risks with people and agencies that are passionate about helping them grow and reach the next level of success.

True Leadership Is About Multiplication

There is a lot of talk about leadership these days. Go to any bookstore and you will find that a wealth of knowledge in a huge assortment of books written all about leadership. We would be wise to read more from wise men & women who have much to teach us all on leadership. In life, one mistake that I see often is: When we see someone doing a lot, we wrongly think they should be made into or promoted to the role of a leader. Why do I disagree with this? Because a doer is not necessarily a leader. A true leader is not necessarily a doer but a delegator. A real leader finds, appoints, trains and partners with the right people and organizations to take his organization to the next level. Leadership is less about doing and much more about delegating. Leadership is about raising up other leaders.

Leadership is about building trust and making strategic partnerships. A true leader is not the person who does everything. That is the workhorse! We need workhorses and we would get nowhere without them... but they should not necessarily be put into a leadership role. Leaders involve others and build teams. Leaders are much more about building teams rather than just forming committees. Leaders empower others and shine the spotlight on the workers, not themselves. The leader's role is not about "doing" as much as it is about "equipping" and "empowering" others to do more. When the job is done well, the leader makes sure that those whom were trusted to accomplish the work get most, if not all of the praise for it. A true leader invites, trains, empowers, encourages, equips and applauds the doers. A leader is a delegator more than a doer.

Hire Your Weaknesses

As a local business owner, you should do what you are passionate about. Do what you love to do. If you opened a pizza restaurant, chances are that you love to make delicious pizzas. If you own an auto repair shop, chances are you're a wizard with a wrench. Whatever your strengths and skills are, focus on them and do them well. Do what you love! As for your weak areas, and we all have them, you should fill those gaps with other people and/or partnerships. Do an honest assessment of what you're good at and maybe more importantly, what you're not good at. Whenever you find a weakness, find a way to compensate for that. It might be hiring an employee that is skilled in areas where you aren't. It might be forming a partnership with a company that will handle that aspect for you. It might be finding software or even an app on your phone that can help you with that.

Whatever you do, don't settle for sub-par. Your business deserves to have as little weaknesses as possible. When you find a weakness, fill it with excellence! Utilize staff, partners & technology to fill the holes in your game. I'm terrible with scheduling, so whenever someone wants to book an appointment with me, I kindly ask them to schedule it using my booking software. When someone asks me a question that I don't know the answer to, I tell them honestly that I personally do not know the answer, but I will get in contact with someone who is an expert in this particular area and get back to them.

One of my favorite stories was when I had a newer client ask me about future updates for his business's new website from my company, Web Wisconsin. His name is Mike and he owns an auto repair shop here in Wisconsin. When I told him that either he could update the site himself or we could do it for him, he responded "I'll fix cars and let you fix websites". This wise and savvy business man knew his strengths and hired (our company) for his weaknesses! We would do well to do the same.

Growing Means Doing Less, Not More

Growing your business and aiming for excellence means being OK with admitting that you need help. It means laying down your pride and forming teams and partnerships that will contribute to the future success of your business. I love the old saying: “Do 3 things well, not 10 things badly” . Oh how America's local small businesses would all grow if we just took that simple saying to heart! Excuse the crudeness, but I still find it funny when Ron Swanson, the lovable gruff fictional character from Parks And Rec TV show said "Don't half ass two things... Whole ass one thing". Do what you love and do it with complete excellence. You may not be comfortable with it right now, but growth means doing less... not more. Employ and empower others who can do your weak areas with an excellence and passion that you might not have in that area. Do what you do well and do it with zeal. Bring in others (staff or partnerships with other companies) who will make your local business amazing in your weak areas.

Invest In Your Success

Sometimes taking your business to the next level involves some investment of money to ensure that excellence is brought to an area where you want to improve or add to your organization. Let me start out by saying, if you are not actively investing in the future growth of your business, you may not have a business for much longer. This is a crucial tip in being a successful local business: Invest in your success! Let me warn you by telling you that "Cheaper is not always the best option". You've heard it said: "You get what you pay for". We all know this is true.

The reason most businesses don't invest financially in their business is sometimes because of a lack of vision. The book of Proverbs tell us: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." We need to have a greater vision that just right now and we need to want to do more than just "get by". You need to look with wisdom to make strategic partnerships to empower the future growth of your local business. The best way to do this is to attempt to calculate the ROI or "Return On Investment". Business owners need to take calculated risks to ensure that your website, marketing & advertising will help to bring a greater profit for you in the next few months and years. Invest in the success of your business by making smart partnerships in areas where your company is doing just "OK" in. Your business needs to thrive, not just survive. Delegate more. Do less. Be your own best friend! Next year, make yourself thankful that you made wise yet courageous, daring risks to grow your audience, customers and profits. Invest in the future success of your business.

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 02 Jul 2019 12:17:48 GMT

If you’ve got sites with old blogs, we’ve got some great news. If those blogs have up to 20 posts, you can now update them to the new blog platform. Your posts will look the same after they’ve been moved to the new platform, and you’ll enjoy all the flexibility, consistency and management tools that come with the new blog.

This includes having full design freedom over the content of individual posts and powerful management tools so you can update posts and search through posts that have already been published. You’ll never need to worry about saving posts as you work (they’re automatically saved, just like the rest of the platform) and SEO for every blog post is easy to implement.

Is Facebook Enough?

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 05:00:00 GMT

7 Reasons Why A Facebook Business Page Cannot Replace a Website

Talking to business owners, sometimes they assume they are fine only using a Facebook page as their primary online presence. Sometimes they think that since they’ve been able to keep their current customers satisfied, and also attract enough customers to keep their businesses afloat, there’s no need to build a website for their business.

But in order to think that way, a business has to focus more on what’s currently working and less on what could be improved. Simply shift the focus from present successes to future opportunities, and you’ll quickly start to see what a business might be missing.

As an agency, you know that great web design can take a business to the next level. And if a local business is serious about establishing a fantastic, conversion-driving online presence, it’s going take a lot more than ‘likes.’ A Facebook page might be a helpful nice-to-have for a local business wanting to reach an audience, but it won’t do enough to help turn it into a reputable, respectable brand. To do that kind of heavy lifting, a website is needed for many reasons, as we’ll discuss in this blog.

Reason #1:

A Facebook Page is a Tool, Not a Website

A Facebook page does have its benefits (note: we said benefits; not advantages because there is nothing that a Facebook page actually does that a website doesn’t). It’s free, easy to set up, and with a monthly active user base of over 2 billion, the social media behemoth provides business owners with the opportunity to attract numerous leads.

Facebook also provides a nice way for local businesses to engage with customers. There, they can answer questions, promote blog posts, post photos and keep customers abreast of the latest-greatest offerings that it might have. Trouble is, anything posted on a Facebook page is time sensitive. With each new post that is created, the previous post gets pushed further down the page’s timeline until it’s no longer visible. To find it again, visitors will have to do some serious scrolling. There’s no effective way to retrieve important information, and all you get in terms of search options is the standard search box that appears at the top of every page. Also, there’s no way to keep posts static, except for one post that can be pinned to the top of the page’s timeline for easy access. Not bad, if a business has only one important thing to say.

Reason #2:

A Facebook Page has Limited SEO

Speaking of searching, a Facebook page offers very little in terms of SEO other than simply being discoverable through search engines. Since all Facebook pages follow the same template, there’s virtually nothing that can be done to tailor content and keywords for better discoverability (especially from organic searches). And even if there were a way to optimize SEO on Facebook, visitors would still need to have an account to log in, access and interact with the page beyond what you see on a SERP.

In terms of design, the options are extremely limited on a Facebook page. All a business can do is park its important info and a few design elements such as pictures and logos in their designated spots –– P.S. Don’t forget to make sure that the image file type, size and dimensions meet Facebook’s requirements and community guidelines, which are subject to change. This brings us to our next reason.

Reason #3:

Facebook Pages Belong to Facebook

With its updates to its Business Pages, Facebook is on its way to establishing itself as a micro-web of sorts (whether they intend to or not), where any business (and customer) can occupy a space, seemingly free of charge. And while no money might be involved, there is a price: anything created on Facebook belongs to Facebook first. Whoever set up the page or profile merely rents it.

Sure, a business owner might have access to solid marketing and analytics tools along with some creative say in what goes on the business page, but ultimately what Facebook says, goes. The page is still subject to all rules, regulations and most-importantly algorithms that Facebook uses at its discretion. Consequently, no reward can be guaranteed for any efforts made to boost engagement. All a ‘like’ on a Facebook page means is that a user is interested in the page’s content. That’s it. They still have to engage with the page on a regular basis, or Facebook’s algorithm will remove its posts from their timelines.

Reason #4:

Websites Belong to Businesses

A website, on the other hand, belongs to the business that has claimed it. It is square one; the raw material over which a designer has full, limitless creative control. You’re free to mold and shape it from scratch to meet your client’s needs, with little to no restrictions.

On a website, the business comes first. Thus, anything done with it, and any tool used on it, will be for the benefit of the business first. For every business-boosting tool (eCommerce, Marketing, Analytics) that Facebook might offer on its platform, there is a better, more-robust real-world counterpart that can easily be used for a local business website. In fact, many agencies use these tools to offer niche services such as marketing, SEO and even social media packages to businesses. Hard to get that with just a Facebook page.

Say your client has special marketing materials that they would like to make available for download; they’ll need a website for that. If your client tries to do it on their Facebook page, all they’ll be able to do is create a post telling their audience where to find the special materials on their sites. There is no place on Facebook to actually house them for direct download.

Reason #5:

Websites Power Brands

What can a site tell us about your client? Everything they want us to know about them. Not just who they are, but also the where, when and why of their businesses –– in whichever way they want to tell you. On a Facebook page, business info is relegated to the design equivalent of assigned seating. And if a local business wants to deviate from the rigid template that Facebook currently offers, it can, at best, get creative with images. For example, they could upload a banner with some creative copy in it as a background image. There’s no way to modify the page’s template.

With a website, there are no seating assignments for your design elements. You and your client make the rules. Every component, from business info to maps and customer testimonials, can strategically be placed (and rearranged, if something doesn’t work) for the best-possible UX. As a result, your clients will reap the maximum benefit from visitor interaction, rather than just leaving things up to chance or curiosity –– as one is forced to do on a Facebook page.

Reason #6:

Websites Tell Stories

Every business has a story to tell. Perhaps it’s an inspiring tale of a beloved local business that has been the bedrock of a community for 30 years. Maybe the story is an underlying brand message (i.e. “Just do it”) that your client wants to deliver in every part of their local business. With a website, you have the power to tell it through specially-curated designs and content.

Reason #7:

Websites Show Experiences

Your clients deliver more than just products and services to their customers; they also create an experience with their brand. Which of these resonates more with you: a “home-repair service that does quick, good work,” or a “family-run business that always goes above and beyond the expectations of its customers; where the employees always greet you with a smile and you can rest assured that no one will ever cut corners with their services?” Customer experience is what turns a business into a brand and distinguishes it from similar service providers.

Yelp reviews are a powerful way to build a reputation for your business and generate interest. That’s why a business owner might be tempted to just park their info on a Facebook page and let Yelp do most of the work. But a stellar website can be the converting factor for many potential customers (especially those who expect all businesses to have websites). A website helps local businesses capitalize on Yelp reviews by effectively showing people why they’re receiving such acclaim. Can you put fancy images, text, and videos on a Facebook page? Yes, but without the full creative power to show what a terrific experience it delivers, a business runs the risk of under-representing itself.

In Conclusion:

Survive on Facebook... Thrive with a Web Wisconsin Smart Website.

Yes, a local business can "get by" with a Facebook business page as its primary web presence. But we guarantee it will miss out on several opportunities to flourish as a business. If a brand can be GREAT, why should it settle for being just "OK"? You didn't start your business simply to SURVIVE. Let Web Wisconsin help you THRIVE with a Smart Website!

Website > Facebook: Now More Than Ever

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 05:00:00 GMT

7 Reasons Why A Facebook Business Page Cannot Replace a Website

25% Fall

Facebook's value fell an astonishing 25% among all of the recent privacy issues.

That is $150 Billion! $150,000,000,000!!

Limited Audience

This has been an increasingly important issue because Facebook has limited business owner's reach to roughly 9-11% of their "Like" & "Follow" audience members. That means that if your business FB page has worked hard to get 1,000 likes... only about 100 or less will actually see your post, promotion or update. So roughly 900 people... or roughly 90% of your own followers, fans and audience will never see your posts.

Work Then Pay?

That is, of course, unless you pay Facebook to "boost" your post so that your hard-earned audience will actually see it. It seems a bit off-putting to make a local small business work so hard to gain a following, only to charge them to reach or communicate with them.

Website > Facebook

With Facebook's power, value & popularity on such a major decline, having your own website as a business is extremely important. Not only do we help you gain new audience members, visitors and followers... we don't charge you to update and reach them. Your business' website is completely yours to manage and communicate with how you choose.

Marketing Tools

We have so many marketing & communication tools available to the local business owner that it is silly not to use them to your advantage to gain new customers and increase your profits.

Now Is The Time

Now, more than ever, local business owners should partner up with Web Wisconsin Digital Marketing & Design so we can be a brand extension of your business and help you increase your reach, audience and profits!

Video: How Online Ordering Works

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 05:00:00 GMT

See how Web Wisconsin's online ordering works for restaurants

Web Wisconsin not only offers amazing interactive menus with full color photos and clickable options & add-ons, we also online ordering, promo codes, delivery areas and much more! Wondering how it all works? Check out this video to see how Menu Wisconsin's online ordering system works:

What Are The Benefits Of Online Ordering?

In the restaurant business, especially with online ordering, Web Wisconsin knows that analyzing your statistics is part of your road-map to success. And now, with our easily digestible reporting features, you’ll be well on your way:

Quick service continues to raise the bar for convenience, thanks in large part to new technologies. Third-party, app-supported delivery may be the most conspicuous in terms of prevalence, but online and mobile ordering stands to transform the in-store experience.

For one, ordering online or through an app frees up staff while increasing order accuracy.

It also trims the queue of customers waiting to order and even offers restaurants a means to track their guests’ orders and habits.

Here, leaders of three midsize chains discuss the impact of online and mobile ordering and what the next iteration of that technology could be. Mobile ordering with drive-thru pickup, anyone?

CHRISTINA COY / Vice President of Marketing, Pie Five Pizza says:

Fast and easy is the winning combination for the future. Several years ago, we updated our website to be mobile-friendly, and we launched our app last year to make ordering easy as pie. We knew the trend was moving toward mobile, and we wanted to be ready.

We’re seeing a steady shift to mobile ordering. More than 65 percent of our online orders now come through mobile. Most importantly, guests who use our mobile-ordering option love it. Guests can also save their favorite order, so we see a lot of repeats.

Technology can always be a challenge with a glitch in the system or an integration not working properly. Random issues do pop up, but all of them are fixable. The ease of use and convenience are the biggest benefits. You don’t have to worry about a complicated ordering process anymore.

Mobile order is going to continue to evolve. I believe ordering systems will soon be able to predict orders based on previous ones at other restaurants. Eventually, guests will be able to place an order with less than two to three taps on their phone. Voice automation will continue to play a big role. I don’t know how, but they’re going to make it faster and easier. I can’t wait to see the next phase.

SARAH BAKER / Marketing Coordinator, Penn Station East Coast Subs says:

Most mobile and online sales have been migrated from phone-in sales, which is a win for operations in that there is no interaction time with customers other than when the customer picks up food. We have also seen a higher average check for web orders. We’ve had minimal complaints, and mobile ordering usage has increased every month.

Some of the challenges of mobile ordering are the updates. We work with several vendors that have moving parts. Everyone needs to be extremely organized and diligent to keep it working. Online ordering must continually be managed, from wait times to holidays, hours of operation, and pricing.

Many restaurants can thrive from mobile ordering, while others are still very much about the in-restaurant experience. Like any other technological advance, it has pros and cons that are weighed on a case-by-case basis, and for the time being, mobile ordering is one of those technologies that not all concepts significantly benefit from.

Mobile-ordering drive thrus have been big in restaurant discussions. The logistics of them don’t seem to be ironed out yet, but it has raised the question of if people who place orders online want to not only avoid a phone call, but also avoid getting out of their car.

WILL HANRAHAN / Digital Marketing Manager, Fazoli’s says:

We know that our guests expect convenience, so we wanted to provide more ways to order. We were also working on launching our app-based loyalty program and knew that online ordering would be a key feature. Additionally, we knew the importance of allowing guests to earn points on online orders.

While the online-ordering channel is still in its infancy, it’s grown more than 16 percent year over year. At that rate, it is our fastest-growing sales channel, on the heels of delivery. We continue to focus on educating guests about this resource. Another challenge is technology. Online ordering is dependent on technology, and when it fails, it’s a definite challenge.

We’ve seen improved order accuracy, as guests are hand-selecting their menu items and customizing them with the click of button. Our own internal platform for online ordering allows us to understand the guest’s purchase history, tailor messaging based on guest buying behavior, communicate with them directly on new products and specials, and, most importantly, reward them on every order.

We recently conducted user testing to see guests’ real-time online ordering and made changes based on that feedback. We’re also working with our app developer to build a native mobile ordering experience directly within the app. The online-ordering experience will be fully customized to the app.

Flash Websites Are Dead

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Fri, 12 Aug 2016 05:00:00 GMT

Why Flash is a Bad Decision for Current Websites & Businesses

You want your website to stand out. You want it to reflect you, your company & your brand. Sometimes that results in business owners making bad website choices - like making a website using Adobe Flash. In fact, I would say that if you have a Flash website, you should strongly consider having a new design done for your site immediately. Flash is dead!

I recently visited with a potential customer who had their site built using Flash. He owned a photography studio (Back in the day, Flash websites were commonly used among photographers because it helped protect their photos from being stolen from their website). He knew he had to have his site redone but didn't know all the dangers and problems with Flash. Once I showed him why Flash is bad, he quickly signed up to have Web Wisconsin design a new website for him. This was a smart business decision!

Flash is a bad idea but it's more than just personal opinion or preference. Let me share some of what I revealed to him during our meeting. Here's a few reasons why Flash is bad:

Search Engines Cannot Read Flash Content

If Google or other search engines can't read you content, you won't rank very high in web searches. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is so important now-a-days that Flash is a crucial mistake to your game plan of getting visitors from search results. Your website is the virtual home for your business, so if people can't find you, or have a poor experience on your site, it's likely they won't hire you!

Slow Load Times

Slow load times will almost always result in people leaving your site. Flash rarely loads at the speed of an normal HTML site. You have about 6 seconds to engage with your audience and convince them to stay on your site. If your site doesn't load in 6 seconds? That visitor is lost... Gone!

No Mobile Site

Flash websites are not mobile-friendly. 81% of searches are done using a smart phone today. If content isn't easy to view at on their smart phone, you will lose your potential audience. What makes a website mobile-friendly? Text that is readable without zooming, content sizes correctly so users don’t have to scroll horizontally, and links are easily clicked.

Flash is Old & Has Major Security Issues

It'www.WebWisconsin.coms not just old, its ancient. 20+ years ago, Flash sites looked cutting edge. Today, they are a dinosaur. People want clean, beautiful and initiative. They don't want a lot of cheesy animation & hokey graphics. They want bright, cheerful, dynamic sites not a dark, old & dusty looking design. Flash makes a website look very dated but its much more than about the looks. The worst part about Flash is that it is unsafe. It has major security issues Flash has been quarantined, blacklisted, blocked and banned as far back as 15 + years ago!

What Do I Do?

So, what do you do next if you have a flash website? Simply put: Move!

Hire someone to redesign your website as soon as possible away from Flash to a more modern design & platform.

Web Wisconsin can help you do a brand new design for your website & business that is clean, intuitive and modern for today's web audience. All of our websites are mobile-friendly and engaging for your web traffic visitors. We build a Smart Website that will transform visitors into customers. We would love to help you get started on a new website today. You can visit our website design page or contact us today for more information: www.WebWisconsin.com

Flash may be dead, but your website can be resurrected!

How We Determine Success

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Thu, 03 Mar 2016 06:00:00 GMT

What is "Success" for Website Design and Digital Marketing?

Same Goal, Different Roles

As a digital marketing agency, we use as many tools as our clients enable us, to help them become more successful at what they do in their business. Our company and our clients have a mutual goal: to help them gain more customers, traffic and ultimately profits, however our success is not necessarily measured that way. Our success is measured differently than yours because we have a different role to play in achieving our ultimate mutual goal of you making more profits.

First Down

One of the best analogies to explain this is football. Our role in our mutual goal is similar to that of a Quarterback passing the ball to the receiver. He throws the ball to the Receiver, who is waiting at the 20 yard line. Now the ball must be thrown with accuracy, control, the right amount of spiral, pitch & speed. However, once the ball leaves the fingertips of the Quarterback, he no longer has any control over what happens next in the play. The Quarterback throws the ball to the Receiver at the 20 yard line to make the First Down.

Touch Down

At this point it is solely up the Receiver to be in the right position, to catch the ball correctly & to run the ball into the end zone for the touchdown. The Quarterback’s job is to throw the ball into the red zone to the Receiver, but once that ball is in his zone, it is completely up to the Receiver to now convert that play from a First Down to a Touch Down. Similarly, our role is not necessarily to make you have customers that hand you their cash in exchange for your products or services. Our role in our mutual goal is to get your visitors into the “red zone” so you can make the winning play to convert them into paying customers.

Conclusion

Therefore we determine the successfulness of our performance, as your web design and internet marketing agency, based on these factors: aesthetics, search rank, visitor engagement & click-thru ratios. These will drive your future visitors to engage in the web presence we have provided for you and then it is your role, as the business, to convert those new leads into customers. This is how we achieve success, by both of us performing our independent roles with excellence so that you we can achieve our mutual goal, the growth of your business and profits.

Searching For Why, Not Who

bob@webwisconsin.com (Web Wisconsin) — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 05:00:00 GMT

Your next potential customers are looking for your your products & services rather than your company name

Search Envy

Often when I'm talking to a potential client, I ask them how their business performs on the search engines. Typically I get a grin and a proud: "We are great on search engines!". But almost always, I find that they are searching for their business name along with the city & state they are located in. Although this is good that their business comes up with a such a specific search, this is merely using search engines as a glorified phone book. In other words, this is good, as long as the person searching already knows their business name, location and specifically wants that business' contact information.

Why Not Who

The problem, of course, is that most people are not using the web like this typically. If my sink has a leaky pipe, I'm not thinking of a specific plumbing company by name... I'm thinking: I need a plumber now! In other words, people are usually searching for the "why" and not the "who". This means that most searches are looking for the services you offer rather than the company name itself. When my sink is leaking and making my kitchen look like the beginning stages of Noah's flood, I am typing something like: "Plumbers Whitewater WI" rather than "ABC Plumbing Company Inc. in Whitewater, Wisconsin". I'm franticly looking for a quick search fix based on my need, my "why". I'm looking for a service or product, not a specific company name.
