You're in Texas and I'm in X, how can you develop my dealer's web site? |
|
Answer: |
The majority of the work we do is not geographically specific. The only thing we absolutely have to have from your dealership is a digital image of your facility. This can be taken by a dealership employee and e-mailed to us. |
How can I approve or revise your site from a distance? |
|
Answer: |
All sites are based on an approved site plan. This plan acts as a blue print for the development. During the site building process, the
web site is posted to a secure interim web site for your review. |
How often will you update my inventory? |
|
Answer: |
As often
as you'd like. But we generally find that 3x per week is adequate
for most dealerships. |
How do you get my inventory from my existing inventory system? |
|
Answer: |
Generally speaking, your system administrator will supply us with limited access to the report generator section of your inventory system. We will create a series of reports, usually between 2-5 separate reports that become the basis of your online inventory system. |
How accurate will my online inventory be? |
|
Answer: |
This is a truly "Garbage In/Garbage Out" situation. If the information in your existing inventory system isn't accurate, then the inventory we pull will not be accurate. |
How long will you be on my system to pull the necessary reports? |
|
Answer: |
That depends on two factors: The size of your inventory and the brand of inventory system you use. Some systems take less than 30 minutes while others take over an hour for each download. |
How will you get photos of my new/used vehicles? |
|
Answer: |
For new cars, we use "stock" photos or illustrations of the models and colors. For used cars, we can either pull images of your inventory from a 3rd party site like GetAuto.Com, have a dealership employee shoot pictures and e-mail them to us, or if you are located nearby and with your cooperation, we can shoot them. |
How long will it take to get my new site up? |
|
Answer: |
That depends on the size and complexity of the site we design for your dealership. But typical delivery times are between 4-6 weeks to develop the average dealer web site. Of course we've also created web sites in shorter and longer time frames. |
How much does a web site cost? |
|
Answer: |
Again, it depends on the size and complexity of the final approved web site for your dealership. The typical dealer web site with searchable inventory is 25-35 pages, and the average cost per page runs between $300 to $350 per page. |
