Welcome!

This is a demo website, and as such, the vehicles found within are either not for sale, or not available through this website.

This demo was created to show off our Software, not our graphics. Why?

First

Because the internet is more than just a picture in a print-ad — it’s a tool for your customers to use. A print-ad needs to grab the visual attention of the reader, but Internet search engines (Yahoo®, Google®, Bing®, etc.) do that job for the computer user. Of course it’s just as important to look good on the computer screen as it is in a newspaper; but the modern user expects more than just stunning graphics, they want intelligent ease of use to find what they desire.

We surveyed the competition and found none delivered a tool advanced and powerful enough to sort through the complexities of options in today’s vehicles. A tool that never tells your customers “No,” but instead points them in the direction of your similar inventory. There is a fine line between helpful and pushy in the sales business, and a fine line between results that are too narrow and too overwhelming when using a computer to search inventory. Our software is designed to walk that line and show off the most of your inventory relevant to your customer’s interests. Yet it’s simple enough to use by even the computer-challenged crowd. Just try using our search form to see for yourself!

Second

Because our partners at SunRise Visuals will conceive a completely new graphical impression that reflects the style, expresses the vision, and accentuates the aspects of your dealership. How can we demo that until we get to know you and your specific needs, desires, and tastes?

Third

Because these demo graphics were created by a software engineer (me), not a graphic artist (like our partners at SunRise Visuals); I just like to do things myself! But don’t worry. Your personalized custom professional graphics package from SunRise Visuals will enhance your new website to superstar heights. After all, this is a Best Auto Dealer Website from Shining Star Websites!

Fourth

Because these graphics were created using Corel Draw X3 which obviously has a bug; the professional graphic artist’s choice is Adobe Illustrator. We’re keeping these buggy graphics to demonstrate the difference.

For developers looking for only the PHP dealer website back-end software, SoftMoon WebWare delivers that package with full support.

Search: Please use this searchbar below to find the vehicle of your choice

You can easily compare your favorite vehicles up close all on one page. When viewing the main inventory page or your search-results pages, check the boxes of your choices and click the Compare Selected Vehicles button at the top or bottom of the page. On any showcase page, simply click the Compare This Vehicle button. After you have chosen 1 or more favorite vehicles, click the Compare Choices tab at the top or bottom of the page at any time to review and further compare the selections.

Not all browsers are fully capable of all modern website design techniques. For example, this demo features an experimental component that allows you to change the skin of the website (seen to the right), but only current versions of Mozilla Firefox & Opera browsers fully support this feature correctly. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari (on Microsoft Windows based computers) require a page refresh to make this function. This is the dilemma of the modern website design team. A technique that works in one browser fails in the next — and visa-versa. To make it worse, individual users can change some browser’s settings to impersonate another browser. (if you are one of those users, you may not get the desired results here)

SoftMoon WebWare produces only fully operational websites and backend software that has been tested on all modern browsers for performance, user friendliness & accessibility, proper functionality, and error-free operation. While our demo site shows off the future of the web where it can, you can rest-assured your production-level website will be rock-solid, compatible with legacy systems, and ready to be easily upgraded in the future. In the mean time, our websites bring the most up-to-date modern features to your online sales presentation.

You can get a feel for how your dealership’s website can be customized to fit your individual style. Try out some of the pre-designed skins available below. Of course we can coordinate the overall color scheme to match your pre-existing logos and other graphics, as well as any visual compositions our design experts may develop for you. For an even more personalized effect, our designers can completely reconceive your website’s character to bring a fresh, unique, and invigorating touch to your client’s online shopping experience that they will remember and identify directly with you.

Does your website validate? Check the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Markup Validation Service for this page by clicking below:

If you’re having trouble finding the specific vehicle that your heart desires, we can keep an eye out for it in your behalf; and if we do find it, we can email you immediately. Simply use the Vehicle Finder on our Contact page, and you will be automatically informed of the new arrival on our lot.

SoftMoon WebWare

Custom Websites built for the 21st CenturySM

SoftMoon WebWare was founded by a 25-year veteran programmer with a passion for excellence. While writing operating system upgrades for pre-windows computers, the catch-phrase of the day even then was user friendliness. We engineered our own software from scratch to fulfill that commitment to our clients and their clients. All of our daily inventory maintenance interfaces are point and click and wizard-based to simplify and expedite the routine of keeping your website up-to-date. We don’t use ZenCart, OSCommerce, Drupal, Joomla! extension, WordPress, or other open-source (free) ecommerce (shopping cart) applications because they don’t offer your potential clients the complete set of tools needed to sort out your inventory into the selection they desire. Besides, we enjoy writing it ourselves; that’s why we do it.

Our commitment to excellence doesn’t stop with user friendliness. Our software is fully tested for stability and security, from threats both internal and external. And as of date we’re proud to report bug-free operation. The code we write as well as the website’s structure is modular in design, fully prepared to make simple the addition of any modifications & upgrades as well as presentational updates. The websites our software produce conform completely to the most current international standards, and as such they inherently work with most any internet capable device; no need to hear “...and if you want us to write an iPhone® application for you it’s only $xxx more dollars...”

We can design a presentation that dramatically differs from the one in this demo. An example of this technique can be seen at the CSS Zen Garden website.

Holiday themes can be added when appropriate and changed any time desired with the modification of one file. Again your flexibility options are virtually unlimited with our website package.

Accelerating Your Rise to the TopSM

You have your website, now you need to make it discoverable. While a Best Automotive Dealer Website is designed, engineered, & written to be Search Engine friendly and will automatically rise in search results ranking with time, certain procedures can expedite it’s ascension and even bring it to the top of the rank. In today’s fiercely competitive used car & truck market, it’s important to utilize any advantage of time and visibility to stay ahead. We contact the search engines for you and inform them of your website pages and the content therein. Our initial services are included free with every complete Best Automotive Dealer Website suite. We can inform the search engines of your latest vehicle arrivals as soon as they hit your website on a continuing non-subscription daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Regular contact with the search engines will help make sure your website is not only outstanding in its presentational features, capabilities, & appearance, but also outstanding in its search engine ranking.

Be wary of anyone promising top results. No one controls the search engines except the search engines’ algorithms, and no one can accurately predict what they will do. Some will just pay Google® Adwords™ to put your listing at the top and charge you exuberant overhead to do so. Never-the-less, there are tools and techniques promoted by the search engines themselves that help them find the relevant information your website is trying to exhibit.

Our service handles all the behind the scenes details of promoting your website through both Search Engine Promotion & Optimization and any sponsored advertising you elect to engage in without cutting into your profits. We can also handle any pay-per-click or banner advertising you choose to employ. By utilizing the available propaganda tools available on the internet, your dealer website can gain exposure in markets where rivalry is high. We do the drum-beating to establish your online exhibition in both the Search Engine Ranks and the World Wide Web in general, so you can contend with the competition and gain new clients.
