Websites are no longer about simply providing an on-line presence for your business.  The team here at Star 3 Media design websites that are able to grow and change as your business does, converting online brand presence into an electronic platform where you not only look good but it is vital to be functional.  The Star 3 Media programming and development team is focused on providing excellence in business website functionality, for both you as the client and the most important visitors to your website, your customers.   There are many different programming modules and services that we can add to your website to enhance your customers experience on the site and ensure they return again and again.  From eCommerce shopping carts to safe and secure online payment gateways, from private client log-in areas to fully customised client relationship systems (CRM), from customised newsletters to RSS news feeds and more. We tailor your website to suit your needs and the needs of your market. Star 3 Media websites come with a content management system, called a CMS.  The CMS is designed specifically to provide you with website control that will allow you to update and edit your own pages at will from the comfort of your desktop. And it is just as easy as using Microsoft Word. The Star 3 Media CMS is based on a .Net framework that is the latest technology and allows us to develop highly functional, scalable and interactive website modules that result in a highly interactive website content system, which is as the name suggests, easy to manage. As the Star 3 Media CMS also utilizes SQL technology to its fullest extent, extended modules such as membership, shopping cart and ordering systems, banner exchange programming, newsletters, mailing lists and so much more can always be added to your website in the future, to grow your website as your business grows. Content Management System     STATIC WEBSITES Star 3 Media static sites are designed for those people who either have limited time on their hands to update their own website, or for those who need the support to ensure that updates are handled quickly and efficiently.    Although this can be a more cost effective means of getting your business online initially and while a ‘pay as you go system’ may seem more financially attractive, you could end up spending more on additional changes and modules over the long term. Static websites suit those businesses that are either very small and have limited content or bigger businesses whom do not necessarily wish to employ a full time webmaster to constantly and consistently update their website.   SELF MANAGED CMS Since using the CMS is as easy as updating a Microsoft Word document, most businesses like the functionality that comes with the ability to add and edit their own pages and manage their own website with no ongoing costs.    Adding another entire website page is so easy to do with the Star 3 Media CMS that it is as simple as logging in, browsing for the page you wish to change, clicking the edit button and simply making the relevant changes.  You can add tables, images, and change the size or colour of your text, link to other pages and much more.  You can even set the permissions (who can view and edit each page), as well as setup your keywords, page title and descriptions and even submit the page to Google, all from the convenience of your office.   Would you also like the convenience of adding products and assigning them to categories for sale on your homepage? Once again, this can be done through a simple log in, then by browsing or searching for the product and clicking the edit button it can be done in a matter of minutes.  You can even link products together, so if you have one product that either has accessories, why not encourage them all to be purchased by linking them together.    One of the most important features of the Star 3 Media CMS system is the built-in user database and security role that manages the contents with a great deal of security.  This means that membership lists and subscribers details on the site will be held securely at all times.  You and your customers can rest assured that their private information will not be compromised and this peace of mind will see your customers returning again and again.    In fact we can program and customise modules to suit your needs and the needs of your business, now and well into the future.  All modules come with a customized web setting interface which allows your webmaster or administrator to gain control of their entire website.
