The best way to discover our website features is to see them in action by using our free trial. This demonstration website highlights a lot of the new features we have launched recently and please visit our web templates page to get a feel for the vast range of colours and styles we have on offer.
Each website created at QUICK ON THE NET is provided with the internet service features listed below:
Every website at QUICK ON THE NET is provided with a search box. This internet service feature will allow visitors to perform a search on your website, searching through all of your web pages and all of your gallery items.
This search feature is fully automatic and you don't need to do anything to make it work.
This is a ticker-tape message streamer service for your home page. You can edit the text content of your message streamer to suit your needs, or turn it off if you wish.
You can choose to put password on the home page of your site. You would do this if you wanted to make your website private, and therefore not viewable to the public.
This is separate from the username and password you will receive to access your website toolkit, which you will use to log in and update your website.
This feature will help to spread the word about your new site. It allows your website visitors to automatically forward an email link to your website to their friends and colleagues.
How popular is your site? This feature will count the number of visits to your website. It operates on the small footer bar and you have the option to turn this feature off. Please see the 'No Footer Bar' Upgrade if you wish to remove the visit counter from the bottom of your site.
Free of charge, you can also use Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools for more advanced information about your website visitors.
We offer full social media support within our website service and site builder toolkit. We deliver this functionality in a simple user-friendly manner for you and your website visitors.
The world's leading providers of social media platforms have been involved with a lot of high-profile scandals concerning privacy and data sharing.
We would like to point out that our social media technology is non-invasive, safe, secure and easy to operate.
We would also like to emphasise that the social media features we provide do not post anything on your Facebook wall, your Twitter page or any of your other accounts.
Unique to your website, you can easily integrate your website with your existing social media accounts e.g. your own Facebook page, your Twitter Feed, your YouTube Channel etc.
All you need to do is insert the URL to your social media account pages and select an icon for each account.
The social media icons are presented within a solid coloured bar. You choose the colour and you can also control the alignment and position of the icon bar. Colourful and simple, this feature will add a new dimension to your website and it can also help to boost the popularity of your website on search engines.
At the click of a button, all your web pages have social sharing for Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and WhatsApp.
This new feature is actually immediately available to you, even if you are not yet using social media technology yourself.
Your new website created at QUICK ON THE NET is fully optimised for mobile phones without you even having to think about it.
Your new site is actually optimised for mobile/cell phones, iPads and tablets, along with the largest desktop computer monitors and laptop screens.
The website pictures and contents will automatically adjust and resize to fit the device you are using. In other words, pictures which appear large when viewed on a big computer screen will automatically reduce in size and adjust to fit the screen on a mobile phone browser. Similarly when the screen area is reduced in size on a smaller device, the menu system will collapse into an expandable drop-down menu.
What is responsive website design? A responsive website will automatically adapt to fit the device you are viewing the website on.
This means small screens or the largest monitors, viewed in landscape or portrait mode, high resolution or low resolution, it doesn't matter, we've got this covered.
The website pictures are also automatically optimised for mobile phone display. In other words, pictures which appear large on your website when viewed on a computer will automatically reduce in size and expand to fit the mobile phone display.
The mobile technology described above automatically above runs in the background without you having to plan for it.
In other words, just create your new website for a laptop or computer monitor and the mobile phone display will automatically take care of itself behind the scenes.
After you have uploaded your pictures and created a gallery, at the click of a button, you can create different styles of gallery presentation.
In the toolkit, we provide arrows which allow you to sort your gallery images into a preferred sorting order.
Example: Feature Panels
This is a new way of displaying your image gallery. Any web page on your website can have 'Feature Panels' and they appear on screen using an animated effect.
Example: Carousel
A picture 'Carousel' is sometimes described as a 'slide show' or a 'slider' and it is created using large pictures which sweep across the screen.
You have the option of creating a 'link gallery' and then each 'Carousel' picture will click through a link destination of your choice, including links to external websites, if you wish.
Example: Thumbnail Gallery
We automatically provide a collection of small thumbnail pictures at the bottom of the screen. You can use the thumbnail pictures to navigate between each large gallery picture.
Example: List Gallery
This style of gallery works particularly well as a product shop or a job board listing. Miniature gallery pictures are presented in a vertical listing and each picture clicks through to a large picture and gallery item detail page.
At the click of a button, any gallery can be presented as a link gallery, whereby each gallery picture has a hyperlink.
For each hyperlink, you can choose to link to a new browser window, or stay within the same browser window.

We have modernised and improved the technology behind our website menu system. Whilst keeping everything simple and easy for you and the users of your website, the new menu system looks attractive and it works equally well for small sites or large complex websites with lots of pages and content.

If you have an existing logo for your company or sports club and you have clear ideas on colour choices and branding, you will be interested to know we have designed a collection of the most popular Colour Styles using a range of attractive colour palettes for business and sport.

The website stylesheet controls colours, typefaces, menu button appearance and hyperlink appearance. For example, you might wish to match your website menu button colours with the colours in your company logo. The stylesheet editor is very easy to use and it will ensure your website colours look the same as your company branding colours.
