Who is this product good for?  iUpdateIt is good for anyone who wants to update a website in quick and easy way. It is a user-friendly simplified Content Management System that makes it easy for even the average person to update select sections of a website.

There are three categories of users: Basic Users, Web Developers, and Advertising Based Websites.
Basic Users: Our starting Account Level is for the basic user that has a website, but only knows a little bit about how to update it. By installing iUpdateIt we take the difficulty out of the design work and make it so almost anyone can update their information with ease. We've provided a basic tutorial on how to install the iUpdateIt code. Once that's been completed, the general user can begin updating their website as if they were using a word processor, and can do it whenever they wish.

Web Developers: Our primary clientele are web designers who wish to give their clients an easy way to update a site themselves. We find that any web designer that builds basic flat websites can benefit from our services, and can make lots of residual income as Resellers of our services. There are all sorts of dynamic ways to get information into a website, but most of them are expensive or take a great deal of knowledge to implement. We've made iUpdateIt easy to install and affordable for almost any level of web development company. Click here to view information on becoming an iUpdateIt reseller.

Advertising Based Websites: Another group of iUpdateIt users own larger websites that sell advertising. Most websites with ads either have their advertisers provide standard size banner ads or have to go through the trouble to create them. Then, when the advertiser wants to change out their ad, the site owners have to go through the trouble of switching them out. By using the iUpdateIt system, you can sell "ad spaces" that can be of any size and that the client can change out themselves. This empowers your advertisers to run whatever ads and promotions they want whenever they want.


What does it mean to be a reseller? A reseller has the opportunity to sell the iUpdateIt Content Management System (CMS) to their own web clients. This means that you can make money selling iUpdateIt to your clients. Resellers are charged a flat fee (see rates) and then you can charge your clients whatever you wish (see suggested rate examples). As a reseller you have complete control over your clients usage, can brand your pages so that your logo appears when your clients log into their accounts, and can create new accounts and iUpdateIt boxes whenever you wish.
 
Here are some of the account benefits of being a reseller:
Sub-Accounts for your clients: It is very easy to signup your clients. All of the reseller level accounts have the ability to create iUpdateIt boxes for yourself and also "full accounts" for your clients. This means each of your clients will get their very own login access, and you can setup all of their iUpdateIt boxes through your Administration Account. Within just a few clicks you can create an account and get one of your clients using our system.
Website Statistics: All of the reseller level accounts get a full range of Website Statistics. You will be able to learn how many times a piece of information is pulled into your website which gives you a fairly detailed view of your "Impressions". You will also be provided with information on how much File Storage and Bandwidth your iUpdateIt boxes use in our system. And, we tell you where the information is pulled from so if your iUpdateIt boxes are installed in more than one location you can tell which one's are having a better effect. Having good website statistics is important to know the success of your iUpdateIt boxes.
Branding Features: The iUpdateIt system allows you to upload your own Logo, Website Address, and Email Support to be displayed in your accounts. You get your own URL line for member login as well. You are also given an iUpdateIt box that you can use for "announcements" that will appear within all of your sub-accounts. The idea is to have your clients think the iUpdateIt service is completely yours! 
No Advertising: As a reseller your account and your sub-accounts for your clients/users will not have any advertising within them. Your accounts will be completely "ad free".

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. You will be provided with a snippet of HTML code that simply needs to be dropped into a website wherever you want your information to appear. Once installed, our user-friendly editing tool makes it very easy for the user to update that space within the site.
 
Here is an example of the HTML code along with the display of this box in action:
<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 and see that the same information will appear wherever you put it!

What functions does the editing toolbar provide? The iUpdateIt Content Management System (CMS) has a very simple website editing toolbar that allows the user to make a nice amount of word processing oriented changes to their information. This includes the ability to font your text with 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 within your iUpdateIt boxes, and many more common functions. We've done our very best to provide an extremely user-friendly editing toolbar to make updating your website easy. Here's a visual of the toolbar.

Is it easy to update content in an iUpdateIt box on my website? You will be amazed at how easy you or your clients find updating the information in their iUpdateIt boxes, and thus updating the content of their websites. Anyone who has any familiarity with 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 a simple as: Logging into iUpdateIt, Choosing the iUpdateIt Box you want to Edit, Editing the Content of that Box, 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 of the standard image and document files. So, if you want to add a picture into your website, you will be able to do it 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 that allows the user to upload their own pictures and files into our system.

Can I rotate content in an iUpdateIt Box? Another great feature of iUpdateIt is the ability to have information rotating "live" on your website. The iUpdateIt system has a function that allows you to setup "Rotate Slots" where you can have the information currently being viewed to rotate back and forth. This can be set to rotate quickly or slowly between slots; 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 would be if you were a Realtor that had a house that they wanted to display with a series of pictures like a "slideshow". You could create a bunch of "Rotate Slots". Each one could have a picture of the property. Then, you set the slots to rotate every 3 or 4 seconds. This would then display visually on the website showing the series of pictures one at a time rotating from one to the next.


Can I schedule content to automatically appear in advance? The iUpdateIt system has a user-friendly way to have information posted automatically to a website based on a date and time. For each iUpdateIt box you can create an unlimited amount of "Dated Slots" that allow you to put information into the system for the future. For each slot you 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 tons of ways from scheduling future sales or specials to be posted on your site - to rotating out pictures - to changing out event schedules - to posting any sort of information on your site when you aren't even going to be 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 by tons of sites out on the internet. We have therefore provided a directory on our website where our users can request to have their website address posted as official "iUpdateIt clients". Once you have signed-up and have begun using our services, we'd like to encourage you to contact us to have us list your site too. Click here to view a list of some of our iUpdateIt users.
