How Widgets Can Help Your Website November 18, 2009
Building widgets and tools are among the most interesting things the programmers at redsauce get to work on. From mapping tools to quizzes and questionnaires, there is almost nothing we can’t develop. But why would you want us to build a tool or widget for you? And how would it help your website?
First of all, our tools are incredibly easy to install. Usually, with just a few lines of code, your website can be sporting a fully customised and funky little widget that can blend in with the rest of your site. Want to display the latest news from another site or your blog? How about a scrolling window displaying testimonials from your most loyal clients? All this is possible – the sky is the limit.
So how could a tool help my website? Visitors are fickle. By engaging them with interactive tools and widgets instead of run of the mill text and graphics, you encourage your visitors to stay on your site. It’s a well know fact that the longer a person stays on your site, the more likely they are to complete a sale or enquiry.
Not only can it help your visitors but it also entices people to link to your site if you have a particularly quirky or inventive widget on your site.
Our tools aren’t just fancy eye candy, they serve a useful purpose; helping your visitors get directions to your business, or showing them the best product for their needs via a questionnaire for example. Sometimes though, you might just want a “magic 8-ball” tool. We can do that too!
