What is Site Director

    

 

In recent years we have noticed many similarities in the website development work that we do for many of our clients. We decided that a single system could be developed that would save a lot of people a lot of money.


Thus was born Site Director, a product designed to deliver a world-class publishing solution that meets "typical" requirements but with enough flexibility to be tweaked to suit special needs.


Site Director is not always the right solution but when it fits the need, Site Director gives a brilliant result at a very low cost.

Look Professional, Be Professional

Maintaining website content is quite easy – remarkably so with Site Director. The difference between a professional website and a home-grown site is in the visual design and graphics. MindVision will design and create the visual “shell” and “style” of your site leaving you to just add the content.


We'll even give you a head start by publishing some intitial content for you - after all, following an established pattern is so much easier than starting from scratch. Yes, if you would prefer we can even publish ALL of your intital content for you and make sure that everything "hangs together" nicely.



 



What You See is What You Get!

You will add your content via a “What You See is What You Get” interface that feels a lot like Microsoft Word. Site Director automatically enforces your chosen layout rules, so that your pages all present consistently and professionally.
Images are a snap!

With Site Director you don’t need to know about image resizing and optimizing. Just upload your digital image from your camera or scanner and Site Director will automatically make a set of images – thumbnail, normal and zoom versions. You can easily display an image with a clickable hyperlink that pops up a zoom version for close-up view.





Arrange your Content – the easy way

 

It doesn’t get any easier than with Site Director. Just drag and drop your pages to create the menu and linking order that works best for your content. Add a new page with the click of a mouse. Preview your pages before they are made live for the world to see.

 
Include Files as Content

Sometimes the smartest way to publish material is in Adobe Acrobat format or as a Microsoft Word or Excel document. No problem with Site Director! Uploading and linking is just a mouse-click away.






Indexed Pages

It could be a contact directory or an extensive FAQ but either way it is a mini-database. Your objective is to organise and nicely present a lot of information in a similar format. Your users’ objective is to be able to quickly find and link to the information that they need. Site Director’s Indexed Pages give exactly this functionality without the cost or complexity of a specialised database.

Show Off your Portfolio

If your business doesn’t have products that can be sold online, presenting a portfolio of your past work may be just the ticket. People like to see evidence that you can do or offer the sort of thing they are looking for. Displaying a nice representative portfolio of previous projects is a good solution. Site Director makes it easy to make your portfolio – and more importantly, keep it up to date.
Understand your website customers

You pride yourself on knowing your normal customers, so you will want to understand your website customers. The cool thing about websites is that you can learn everything about your visitors – there is no need to guess! How may people visit your site. What did they look at? Where did they come from? Are you in the search engines? These are just some of the useful information available to you with Site Director. You can analyse a day, a week a month or a year.




Publish photo albums of special events

The Site Director “album page layout” feature makes publishing a photo album a breeze. Just upload the photos straight from your digital camera. Site Director will automatically resize them, optimise the compression for viewing speed and make thumbnails for users to click on to zoom in.
