According to the The International Telecommunications Union, half a billion people (approx 10% of worldwide mobile user base) now regularly access the web via their mobile. So the challenge for web site owners, including IFAs, is how to make their existing sites accessible via mobile without incurring heavy redevelopment costs? We have the answer.

You have probably already seen the Facebook 'like' button appearing on a number of websites, or posts on your Facebook contacts' pages saying that they 'like' a web page. Why is this of interest to financial planners? 

As you may be aware, one of the most useful features of our Website Package is the ‘Live News Update’ which lets you supply your readers with the latest financial news headlines from around the web. The good news is that we have enhanced this service even more!

Innovative communication mechanisms are being developed all the time and companies are falling over themselves to work out how to integrate tools such as Twitter in to their communications mix. But there is a risk that in their rush to play with the latest shiny toys, IFAs & Financial Planners will overlook email, the ideal tool for keeping in touch with their clients. We aim to ensure this does not happen!

The catalysts for clients requiring financial advice are often some of the key events in their lives such as getting married, starting a family, buying a house and changing job. A question therefore for IFAs and financial planners is how to best reflect these events within their websites? We have the answer!

You may have noticed some recent changes to many of our pages.

We have added Google, Twitter and Facebook sharing to make it easy for visitors to recommend pages that they like to their networks.

These features are also available when you use our service to build your own website. Check out the demo sites to see them in action.

We have now launched our free e-mail newsletter which is specifically designed to provide IFA and financial planners with latest news, tips and advice on digital technology, social media and other online promotional tools from around the web. Initially it will be published weekly but depending on feedback we may also start sending out a daily version.
