Special Application Websites

Websites for specialty applications can be expensive and technicaly overwhelming. One such application which has been addressed by our automotive division buzztrader.com is a used car dealer content management system.

Car dealers in general have a unique need for automated programing to upload and mange large volumes of rotating vehicle inventory. The buzztrader system allows the upload of 9 images and resizes the images instantly while creating smaller thumbnails and linking all the images to the full size pics.

If you needed to build each page manually, it could easily take a professional over an hour or two to set up one vehicle page. But content management systems allow easy upload and automated page building. With tools to search inventory and modify key elements like price and terms the CMS is a huge time saver for car dealers.

If the individual car dealer tried to develop the technology for their own website the cost would be astronomical. If would likely cost more than the actual building the cars are stored in.

But with companies like buzztrader building technolgy and offering it free for any car dealer to use, the need to develop the technology is gone. Buzztrader is quickly becoming the google for car dealers. With more and more dealers using the free advertising and content manaement system, it just gets bigger daily.

In any market if you can capitalize on existing technology rather than creating your own, you are much better off.

You would not write your own operating system for your computer. You buy a system that a larger more experienced company wrote.

The same princeple should be applied to website programing. Try not to reinvent the wheel. If the application already exists, use it.

Unless you are a huge company that needs proprietary technology you wont need to build your own programing or write your own code. If you are a car dealer, stick with selling cars and take advantage of programs like buzztrader and car dealer hosting at pagebuzz. Pagebuzz would never open a car lot to buy a car, so don't try to start a programing business to buy a website.
