X-RM have produced a number of websites using a standard template. This
template is suitable for a typical vertical industry portal.
Each company has a standard entry that can be enhanced with 'paid for' elements
such as logos, further information (PDF's), weblinks and etc according to the
preferred model of the publisher.
Users can search by company name or by Product and Service category. The result
set that appears on each category search can be ordered such that 'paid for'
entries appear at the top of the search.
The software incorporates an advertising server that serves Banners and Button
adverts against each main category of the navigation, as well as against each
product and service category. The publisher has the ability to control and
track the bookings of these adverts by calendar date.
The individual companies have the ability to securely log on and update their
entries. Any updated entry is posted to a holding area for authorisation to 'go
live' by the publisher.
X-RM are experienced in building sites using this standard template as well as
in customising sites to particular industry sectors with unique structures.
