The rants and raves of a web developer, photographer and coffee junkie!
I started a new job and one of the first projects I was given was to create a mobile app. I’m pretty good at programming websites and figured it wouldn’t be a big deal. Create a mobile friendly website, give customers the link, and all is good. Nope, didn’t work that way.
My experience with auto dealers is that they typically don’t ask for help with their marketing strategy. This is a major issue because this should be the #1 area. Without a clearly defined marketing strategy everything becomes disconnected and more of a shotgun method (shoot it out there and you’re bound to hit something).
It’s been a year since I had to change the CMS for two car dealerships. Now it appears that I’ll be doing it again. Not a fun journey.
I figured with my new found love of Bootstrap it was time to give these sites some new life. Just playing around with some very basic coding I redesigned an information page about Scion cars.
Creating a custom coupon page for the VinSolutions dealer websites platform was easy using the new w3schools w3.css. This DIY basic guide will walk you through the steps needed to create nice looking coupons that work on desktop and mobile.
After several months of attempting to make coupon pages look good on our dealership VinSolutions websites there now seems to be an easy solution! thanks to w3schools new css code our coupon pages look great on desktop and mobile.
A new wrinkle arose trying to use bootstrap on the VinSolutions auto dealership website platform. The resulting workaround solution was not optimal but has other benefits.
Today I had either an ah ha or a duh moment. Why not use Bootstrap? Then if/when there is a change in the future everything will just copy and paste over nicely. And (hopefully) when they finally release their 360 platform, the code should be responsive and just work.
About one and a half years ago my son along with an old acquaintance launched a website selling suits for men.
Automotive SEO content provided by the industry CMS providers has bothered me for years. It became especially bothersome this year.
