Returning to Blogging

Hi everybody!

We've been pretty lousy at blogging over the last half a year. Some of our readers may think that our product is dead or forgotten, and this cannot be further from truth.

In fact, we've been very busy over the last several months. We developed a new version of our product, iAuto v.4.x, that had most of its internal structure revamped and improved, templates changed and a number of new features and functions added to make our iAuto even more attractive to our customers.

We then improved it even further by adding SEO features such as SEO-friendly URLs, listing data in description and keywords meta tags, and a great Browse By... feature. You can select up to 7 database fields that you can browse by, narrowing down your results to just a few listings that match your needs closest.

For example, you can have the following Browse by search configuration: Vehicles->Cars->Honda->Acura->Between $0 and $10,000->Zip.

And, of course, we developed two new templates. A single picture is worth a 1,000 words, therefore, the best way to see how well we did is to go to our iAuto Demo page at http://www.worksforweb.com/classifieds-software/iAuto/demo/.

To go further, we decided to offer a boat classifieds version of iAuto, iAuto Boats. We've done some research and came up with the iAuto Boats demo for your attention.

Hosted version is a new addition to our versions. It offers iAuto pre-installed, hosting space with your domain and all the functions of the Cpanel at your disposal. And all that for an introductory price of $29.95 per month only.

We will try to be more consistent with posting our news and ideas to this blog, and we'll try to not limit the posts to marketing-related stuff only. Instead, we're hoping to get our product developers and programmers involved as well.

iAuto Vehicle Classifieds Software Version 4.0 Released

We've finally released our new version of iAuto. I'll simply post an ad that we're promoting it with, and if you are looking for additional details and specifics of the new version, you're always welcome to visit our website:

iAuto is a cutting edge PHP vehicle classifieds script. It is a perfect solution for websites that sell any vehicles for land, air, or water. It comes bundled with a fresh car make/model database.

Key features of iAuto include an innovative search engine that allows visitors to search and sort by any field. A ZIP/postal code and radius search capability is provided based on the US ZIP code database. Import of postal codes for other countries is also possible with the existing import utility.

Our new version features a fully editable template-based look and feel. The ability to present listing data is limited only by your HTML coding skills.

One important addition of iAuto is the ability to list multiple listing types (advertise cars, boats, and airplanes on one site) and to create common or custom fields for each type.

iAuto also features user groups that can segregate users between individuals or corporate clients, with custom menus and profiles for each group.

New version offers a multitude of ways to make money with iAuto. You can choose between a pay-per-ad or subscription plans and further add pay-per-feature packages to charge for extra features such as pictures or videos.

Three payment gateways are built into iAuto: 2Checkout, Paypal (with card payment processing capabilities) and Authorize.NET merchant account gateway.

Two iAuto packages are currently offered starting from as low as $219, with FREE TRIAL and online DEMO.

Free lifetime upgrades and frequent functionality improvements make it a worthwhile purchase, giving you the ability to upgrade your website to respond to emerging market trends!

We'll be discussing other details related to the new software functionality and the ways you can use it for your business needs.

Can't Believe We Haven't Updated For So Long

It's very hard to believe all that time passed and we never bothered to update the blog. Horrible! The fact that we've been pretty busy is not a good excuse. We will try to be more consistent posting new stuff here.

We'll try to give you a brief overview of what's been accomplished so far. We are constantly working on improving the quality of iAuto and iRealty. We are improving our internal development processes: work flow management, project and task planning, coding, testing, and control.

We have made substantial product improvements that will appear in the new version of the software to make iAuto and iRealty more reliable, robust, flexible and smart. We've also added several smaller features that improve the overall functionality of the software and make it more usable and powerful.

Our iAuto/iRealty community is growing, and the forum is slowly becoming a focal point where information about updates, fixes, tweaks and bugs is gathered and made available to those who need it.

We've been engaged in several bigger projects where iAuto/iRealty were used as the platform for custom solutions and even developed a totally independent solution from scratch. We will announce one of the projects shortly when it goes live with the permission of the owners.

This should be it for now, we'll be keeping you informed as we go along.
