Leicester, United Kingdom (PressExposure) February 14, 2010 -- Our franchise owners have asked us to make many improvements to their control panel to help them save time on their backroom work and therefore allow them to spend more time talking with their customers and gaining new business.
Some of their ideas were very simple to implement but also very effective in saving their time. One such idea that has now been implemented allows them to upload multiple news and events in one go rather than only uploading one news or event at a time. We have now also improved their Invoicing area so that it is easier to generate invoices and track which invoices have been mailed out to their business customers.
As the Citylocal site is growing fast, so are the numbers of users. Not all users are interested in using the business directory properly. As we have grown larger so has the number of users wishing to abuse our site. Hence we have had to create even more powerful tools to keep one step ahead. We have now introduced new features within our control panel that allows us to ban users quickly and get rid of their content instantly.
Internet users are constantly demanding that the websites they visit are fast. No longer are surfers willing to accept slow page load times. Search engines have now taken note and are penalising sites that are slow. With this in minds we have started on a long term mission to make our community site the fastest local business directory in the UK.
Within our forums, we are working closely with our franchisees to constantly look at ways of improving our site. We believe in the mastermind principle - whereby we brainstorm on a regular basis with our franchisees and web designers on the best way to keep on moving forwards. In the internet world you have to keep getting better or you risk falling behind.
