XotboX.com is reorganizing its website

admin — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 21:13:28 +0000

At XotBoX.com Website Solutions we're taking our own advice and keeping our website content fresh and up to date.

This process started a few weeks ago and since then we have been focusing on reorganizing our content. Our feature set has been pretty well document, but this latest effort focuses on the benefits that our prepackaged website solutions can provide. We've also been working on our User interface so that things are easier to find. Trimming down the words and trying to post pictures that help relay our message.

Our company is still pretty small, but according to Google Analytics we've had visits from 21 countries/territories so we must be doing something right.

Congratulations to co-founder Kendall Watt Becherer who tied the knot this past weekend.

Xotbox Even Offers Cheap E-Commerce Websites

kendall — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 01:02:00 +0000

We are able to offer inexpensive e-commerce sites because of a wonderful Drupal add-on called Ubercart. Ubercart is built to integrate perfectly with Drupal websites, and has designed an easy-to-learn system for displaying products in a catalog, objects in a shopping cart and payment information upon checkout. Even with the ssl-certificate upgrade that you need for secure transactions, you can walk out with an e-commerce site for around $1,000!

No Hassle Hosting

kendall — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:36:53 +0000

We offer regular and ssl-certified hosting to our customers, because we know how to maintain the security and function of this particular kind of site. Drupal has frequent security, module and theme updates that need to be performed to keep your site running at full capacity and to prevent people from "hacking" your information. Our clients are relieved that they do not have to worry about these issues (as they would with many other hosting companies) and are happy to focus all of their energy on keeping their content up-to-date. Our easy, 12-month hosting subscription is offered at a discount, so we recommend this option to all first-time and returning customers.

Xotbox Trains Clients In Person or on the Phone

kendall — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:27:45 +0000

When our clients understand how to add content to their website, they reduce the costs of maintaining their site, and offer continually fresh content that attracts new customers. We would be delighted to have every single one of our clients understand how to maintain their own site. If you are a local organization, near Tacoma or Seattle, Washington, in-person training is ideal, but if are further away, training over the phone is an option.

Low Cost, High Quality Websites that are easy to Use

kendall — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:21:27 +0000

The Drupal community has grown exponentially in the past few years, with an increasing number of companies using the Content Management Framework, extending it with improvements in usability and functionality, and then often times contributing those improvements back to the community for use in other websites.

Drupal is now a tried and true content management system, that is growing more secure and easier to use every day.

By using this open source tool, we keep our development costs to a minimum, and can afford to sell inexpensive websites to our customers.
