New RainStorm website includes support knowledge base, more features
We're pleased to announce that we've launched an all-new, much-improved, and vastly-updated website online at rainstormconsulting.com, and we want to take a minute to share some of the new features with you:
Knowledge Base: Easily search for help on a variety of topics, including email setup, website access, using the hosting administration panel, and get answers on a variety of questions related to your account and our service offerings.
Contact Support: Now you can easily get in touch with our support department after-hours by using our Support Contact form.
Expanded Portfolio: Our new portfolio is expanded, updated, and now includes project details on an ever-increasing set of our recent work with clients. Browse our portfolio and be sure to mention it to people you may refer to us.
Industry news & insights: The tips and tricks from our newsletter are now coming to our website as well. In addition, we'll be posting our take on industry trends and news affecting your website and IT strategy.
Of course, our new website is powered in many places by modules from SiteTurbine, our suite of website management tools. If you get a moment today, check out our new website online at rainstormconsulting.com.
Pay your bill online - and get your customers to do the same!
To save yourself the time and postage of sending in your payment to us, please consider paying your bill online via our secure server. We accept all major credit cards, and you'll get the piece of mind knowing your bill is taken care of promptly.
And if your organization wants to accept payments or donations online, we have several options including our own secure server solution, shopping cart software, and online donation tool. Get in touch with us today to learn more! As always, we'll be happy to take the time to discuss options with you and answer any questions you may have.
Coming soon: Manage your website content within PageStorm from SiteTurbine
While SiteTurbine modules for news, contact forms, and staff management continue to power many successful websites, managing the content of your website's pages has typically been done via Contribute or through other means, rather than via SiteTurbine.
Coming in January 2009, RainStorm is pleased to announce PageStorm, the next great SiteTurbine module.
PageStorm brings the simplicity and availability of SiteTurbine to the managing of your website's content, with features including:
- Edit page content and easily add graphics and styling
- Manage multiple revisions of the same page
- Control which of your staff has access to create pages and publishes them
- Easily create new pages and link them directly into your site
- No desktop software to download, install, or maintain
New websites produced after January 2009 will be compatible with PageStorm. Existing clients, please contact Jason Clarke at jason@rainstorminc.com or call (207) 866-3908 to learn more about converting an existing site to work seamlessly with PageStorm.
