Fox-Hat Website Frequently Asked Questions
What are they?
Fox-Hat websites are specifically designed especially for businesses who want an effective and low cost presence on the internet. This new way of having a website gives you total control over and gives you an easy way to keep evolving your website with your business, without extra
costs, or time wasting.
What happens when my business grows?
If more specialist functions are required the system can be build on quickly and cost effectively, e.g. galleries, file upload and download, log in areas, shop, newsletter system etc. As we continue to develop more function modules, these can be used on your website. You are essentially only paying the implementation costs, without incurring the extensive developing and testing costs.
I need to have total control!
These websites are designed for easy self-management. Articles, pages,sections, images and even links to other websites, can be added simply and instantly. This can be done with zero specialist skills by anyone with an Internet connection.
What about Search Engine Optimisation and changing markets?
Your Fox-Hat Website can be constantly updated and tuned for multiple audiences. Search engine optimisation is easy to do within the site, using keywords, descriptions, pages titles, headlines and linking, all as easy as sending a text or email. Because your website is so easy to
continually update, most of our clients find they update them constantly, these constant changes are registered with search engines, which see this as a positive and push your site up in their rankings. We have recently added Social Bookmarking (25% of New Zealanders alone use this), Automated Site Mapping, Google Analytics and Google Map to enhance this aspect of your
online presence.
What is Fox-Hat?
Fox-Hat is the engine that drives the websites. Before Niche Design developed Fox-Hat they continually had clients asking to be able to do more themselves, on their websites. The reasons were obvious, save time and costs, and ensure things were always up to date, the major bonus, they could react more intuitively to market shifts with the content of their websites. Using the simplicity of Google as a model for an interface, we set out to create a Content Management System (CMS) that requires virtually zero technical skill to use, the result is unique, we call it Fox-Hat. How easy it to update, what does it cost and how long does it take? Wording can be copied and pasted in to create pages; images are uploaded from your computer. You can correct, tune, update, delete or add material, as often as you like. You can turn pages on or off as suits, great for seasonal businesses. Because you do this yourself, you do not incur any extra costs. Your changes go live on the website immediately, make a mistake or have a second thought, no problem, go back in, change it and save it live again to the internet, it only takes minutes.
I don't have a web address?
If you don't have a web address i.e. www.porkchop.com, allow $55 a year, to purchase, establish and point website at its designated address. This charge includes, where necessary, us registering the domain for you, you will be the domain name holder, we are only the managers, (this makes it easy to do the things necessary to point the domain at your new website).
Can I mess up my website?
The Fox-Hat website system comes with a set layout, the pages always have the right size and style of font for maximum readability and are always laid out in a tidy and professional fashion, it made to be hard to break or look ugly.
Can I have my own look?
Those who want their own 'look' can. We have many years experience of producing custom websites, have a look at our portfolio page on under Custom Websites. You will also see that we have a lot of experience in custom branding. We do offer a special branding service
associated with the small business websites. We are happy to cost these services out for you.
