Web Design

Following a request a few days ago we have added a transmission field to car script version 3.1. Options are manual, automatic and semi-automatic.

These fields can be searched upon giving the end user more flexibility when looking for cars for sale online from dealers.

The upgrade takes around 30-60 minutes to complete for existing 3.1 users as the database structure needs to have the extra fields added. Then we modify around 7 files to cater for the addition of the new field.

UK car dealers are now contacting us much more frequently about Car Script v3.1 and we are listening carefully to their requirements and adding new functionality as we go along. The economic climate in the UK has made it tough for car dealers who are in need of a cheap car sales solution online - we believe we have that solution!

If you require the transmission field upgrade, OR would like an upgrade from version 3.0 to the latest version 3.1 then please contact sales@viperimagemedia.com

We have had several calls over the last few months from car dealers who are currently tied in to an Autotrader website whereby the dealer has their own website hosted by Autotrader, plus all the cars listed on the website appear on the main Autotrader listings.

These dealers are becoming incresingly unhappy as sales seem to have dropped from this time last year obviously due to the recession. We have had complaints that it is getting tougher and tougher and Autotrader prices still remain the same at £20 per car listed.

After several of these calls we decided to design a website for dealers such as these. The website has been designed with the intention of “going it alone”. No listing fees, no recurring fees (only basic hosting of course) and once the site is purchased it’s completely 100% yours! The website has also been designed to work hand in hand with Google however this alone won’t get you traffic to your website..

In order to make your site more popular we have come up with a particular search engine optimisation campaign (6 months) which will give your site good local prominance for your preferred search terms (ie used cars wolverhampton). This has proved to be far more cost effective and efficient. Also after the 6 months campaign is up you don’t need to spen any more money on your site for at least 18 months if at all!

We can host your site too, set it up, configure it and hand it over to you to add your stock for £350 + VAT! No more, nothing, zilch!!

Why not give us a call on 08456 432 110 and we can explain everything in more detail but remember - no contracts, one off payment and nothing else!

Just a quick note to mention that we are currently building a Google section to the admin panel. You can register yourself with Google Webmaster Tools and verify your site easily. In the Google section we will have a field that you can enter in your validation code (meta tag) from Google.

This section will also tell you the location of your Google XML sitemap. This sitemap will be updated every time you add or remove a page or a car from your inventory.

After much deliberation we have decided to offer an alternative to the highly successful Car Scripts v2.0. Version 3 is much more user friendly for car dealers who just want to “Plug & Play”.

Car Script v3.0 should be available in around a months time (maybe less) and will feature:

Fully managed content from the admin section
Easily add new pages
Active user sitemap
Active Google sitemap
Up to 40 images per car!
Included 404 page
SEO friendly
Menu administration (control what goes where and easily turn on or off)

The new script allows the user to control the text and images on the pages from their admin panel thus allowing them to purchase directly from us. We are happy to install for free so car dealers can buy the complete package and not worry about employing a web designer. The script will be more expensive than version 2 but is not to be considered as an upgrade, however owners of version 2 will be entitled to version 3 less the current version 2 price.

Our aim is to release version 3 at £149 + VAT. We will also offer our hosting package with the script as a package deal for around £199 + VAT ( saving around £40 + VAT) - Annual price for hosting will be around £85 + VAT.

The overall look and feel is a little more solid and professional hence we are eager for its release in March 2009. Currently there is only one template available but it’s early days yet.

It is currently 90% complete but we will keep you posted as to when we have added all the features it needs to make your life easier.

Check back soon or email us for more information and a sneaky peak.

We have created a piece of code for our Car Script v2.0 that can be simply inserted into the sitemap.php page. This piece of code will fit directly after the line:

<li><a href=”featured_car.php” class=”links” title=”Car of the week”>Car of the week</a></li>

It will dynamically create the correct entries for every vehicle listed on your site. This will greatly help your site with search engines as the sitemap page will be constantly changing as you add and remove stock.

Over the coming weeks we will be looking at creating a Google Sitemap Module which again is dynamically updated. This should be available in February as an Add-On to Car Script v2.0

Car Script version 2.0 is a great little package for car dealers who are looking for a pre built website that enables them to list their inventory and upload up to 10 pictures or images of each car.

The script is driven by a client management system which gives the administrator full control over stock. The administrator can even single out vehicles that must be sold quickly and featured cars.

Choose your Language
The script is shipped with various languages available to choose from but please note that it is only intended to display in one language (not multi lingual on the fly)

Search Engine Optimisation Friendly URLs
The car script uses mod rewrite commands within a .htaccess file to rewrite the dynamic web addresses to those that are static. Each car uploaded has the pagetitle, description and meta keywords tag all created on the fly.

If any customisations are required to the script, please ask us as we are happy to quote for any changes (it won’t cost much!)
