How It Works?

A code is inserted on the pages of your website where the published messages are to be displayed. This is a one-time set-up step completed by you or we can do it for you at no cost.

Next, a link to your Guest Registration page is placed on your website. This page allows you and your customers access to the recording dashboard. When a message is recorded, you will receive an email with a link to preview it.

With a click of your mouse, you can publish the message to the desired page on your website.

Satisfaction Guarantee

You will have a full year from the date of purchase to use the Instant Web Message system. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the service, you may cancel and receive a refund of the last 30 days of use.

Webmaster Tool Box

Here is a collection of what we consider "must have" tools for webmasters. These tools will benefit any webmaster, both novices and experts alike. Arm yourself with these tools in order to achieve a more professional online presence.

1. Custom 404 Page
Use a custom 404 page, so that if a user incorrectly types a webpage URL, they will still retain navigational options within your site and be provided alternative solutions. When a domain is correctly entered, but a specific webpage's URL is entered incorrectly, it is possible to display your custom error page to the visitor. By providing users with a navigational bar and further assistance, rather than leaving them with a generic "page not found" error screen, you can often keep prospective customers on your site by providing them with navigation alternatives.
2. UrlTrends
UrlTrends is a service that shows historical trends, so that webmasters can see how their SEO efforts are affecting websites in the search engines. UrlTrends should be used in conjunction with web-logging software.

3. Favicon
Polish your website by adding a Favorite Icon. When a "favicon" is available on your site, and the site URL is entered in the user's web browser URL box, the favicon will be displayed beside the URL. This gives the website a more professional and polished look.

4. Color Matching
Match the primary web colors with those used in your logo. Simply choose a preferred color using the ColorBlender service below, and a 6-color matching palette and blend will be automatically calculated for you.
