dotNews
The website bolt-on that allows you to easily add and maintain news items relevant to your company, your business sector and your website visitors.
Everyone would like to be perceived as an expert in their field, and there’s no better way to give the impression of having your finger on the pulse than featuring relevant and regular news content on your own website.
Become a one-stop newsroom
Most businesses are in sectors which make the news for one reason or another on a regular basis. Whether you’re writing your own press release publicising an upcoming event or promotion, or collating relevant news items from third party websites, dotNews makes it easy to compose your own news stories and insert links to external news items.
Don’t worry about using copyrighted material from other news sites. With dotNews you’re not actually copying the external news item, you’re simply linking to it from your own website. This saves time from your point of view, and also importantly sidesteps any issues surrounding copyright infringement. The news item is clearly marked as externally sourced on your site.
Company news and events
Or maybe you’re making the news yourself?! One of the biggest obstacles to writing your own news items on your website is the time required to sit down and craft a few paragraphs from thin air. With dotNews you can create and edit your news stories in your own time, and only choose to publish the story when you’re happy with the result.
Go one step further, and include your very own photos and images in the body of your news story to liven it up and catch more attention! It’s easy with dotNews’ integrated HTML and image editor.
Link to news stories in seconds!
As we all know, if it’s too much hassle keeping website content, including news items, up to date, then we most likely won’t bother. The most common use of dotNews is to link to existing news stories on other third party websites such as BBC News and other local and regional media. It literally takes seconds to have your website buzzing with the latest news!
dotNews was designed with ease-of-use in mind, ensuring that you can add links to external news stories in seconds, using nothing more than cut-and-paste if you wish. All items can have expiry (and activation) dates set to automatically remove (and activate) news content from your website as it goes out of date.
Fresh news content ensures return visitors
With your website being continually updated with the latest company and industry news, your customers and online visitors will keep coming back to your site to keep up-to-date, and to take a fresh look at the rest of your site, and hopefully place an order!
- Keep your website looking fresh and busy
- Click-through from news headlines to external news sites
- Set activation and expiry dates for news items, if desired
- Ensure your website visitors keep coming back
With dotNews, looking like an expert in your field really is quick and easy!
