How hard is it to install iUpdateIt in a website? It is very easy for anyone with very basic website design experience to install iUpdateIt into a website. We realize though that not everyone has these skills. We therefore have two options when adding iUpdateIt to a site: Do It Yourself or Ask Us To Do It For You. We offer installation at "no charge" so if you don't have the skills, you can still use iUpdateIt without any hassle. 

For those people who do know how to install it yourself, we provide a snippet of HTML code within your account that can easily be dropped into a website wherever you want your information to appear. Once installed, our user-friendly editing tool makes it easy for the any level of user to update that space within the site.

 
Here is an example of the HTML code along with the display of this space in action (above):
<table width="350"><tr><td><div id="IUI383ab3b0-b3d8-4fc8-bae9-61cb986d951f"></div></td></tr></table> <script src="http://www.IUpdateIt.com/ws/Box/IUpdateIt_Add.aspx?ID=383ab3b0-b3d8-4fc8-bae9-61cb986d951f&Loc=IUI383ab3b0-b3d8-4fc8-bae9-61cb986d951f" type="text/javascript"></script>
You would simply copy/paste the above code into your website! Feel free to give it a try on your site. You'll see that the same information above will appear wherever you put our code! For additional information and help, click here to get extra help with installing the code.

What functions does the editing toolbar provide? The iUpdateIt Content Management System (CMS) has a simple website editing toolbar that allows the user to make word processing oriented changes to their information. This includes being able to choose standard web fonts, change the color and size of the text, add bullet points, add basic tables and cells to control your information, upload pictures and files (see below), add hyperlinks, and many more common functions. We've done our very best to provide an extremely user-friendly toolbar that makes updating your website easy. Here's a visual of the toolbar.

The iUpdateIt system has a very simple editing toolbar that allows the user to make a nice amount of word processing oriented changes to their information.


Is it easy to update content in an iUpdateIt space on my website? You will be amazed at how easy you or your clients will find updating the information in their iUpdateIt spaces, and thus updating the content of their websites. Anyone with familiarity using a basic word processing program will find our website editing tool a breeze. Most of our users have told us that they or their clients could immediately start using the web editor without any tutorial or help. It's as simple as: Logging into iUpdateIt, Choosing the iUpdateIt space you want to Edit, Editing the Content of that Space, and Hitting the "Update" button. And, your website has been successfully updated!

With our user-friendly content management system (CMS) you can do all of the standard formating on your website.


Can I upload pictures and files into my site? Yes. The user-friendly editing screen allows you to upload most standard images and document files. So if you want to add a picture to your website, you will be able to whenever you wish. You can also post documents like PDF files so that people can "click" to download things like flyers, forms, and other printed materials. Every account gets both an Image Gallery and File Folder, allowing the user to upload their pictures and files to our system.

Can I add a Slideshow in an iUpdateIt space? Another great feature of iUpdateIt is the ability to have information rotating "live" on your website. The iUpdateIt system has a function allowing you to setup a "Slideshow" where you can rotate the information currently being viewed. It can be set to rotate quickly or slowly between slides; can rotate through the sequence once, twice, or forever; and can even create the imagery of having animated pictures on your site.

A great example of this function is a Realtor who has a house that they wish to display with a series Slideshow-like pictures. Using this feature they could assemble a bunch of pictures of the property. Then, they merely set the slides to rotate every 3 or 4 seconds. This then displays visually on the site as a series of pictures rotating from one to the next.


Can I schedule content to automatically appear in advance? The iUpdateIt system has a user-friendly way for information to be posted automatically to a website at a pre-established date and time. For each iUpdateIt space you can create an unlimited amount of "Scheduled Spaces" that allow you to put information into the system for the future. You then set the Date and Time you want it to go "live to the public" and the system will automatically switch your information for you. You can literally have your website update for you every day, month, or year. Our content management system (CMS) controls it for you!

This function can be used in variety of ways including scheduling future sales or specials on your site, switching out pictures, changing out event schedules, and posting any sort of information on your site when you aren't around. The automated scheduling program makes it easy for you to change information whenever you want.


Can I see some sites using iUpdateIt? Yes, of course. We want you to be perfectly comfortable knowing that iUpdateIt is being widely used all sorts of sites on the net. Se, we have a directory where our users can have their website address posted as official "iUpdateIt clients". Once you have signed-up and are using our services we'd like to encourage you to contact us to have us list your site too.
