JULY 21, 1997 NEWTOWN CT - The i-Depth service for Web Site Builders adds a new line of powerful functions to its lineup of accessible server add-ons - Live Chat, PostCards, Classified Ads, and Calculating Order Pages. By giving web site builders direct access to its Function Servers, functionality can instantly be added to any web site.
brings powerful web functions to web site builders.
No programming or CGI experience required!"The concept of the system is to let the i-Depth servers handle the technical stuff. All the web site builder needs to do is tweak their use of a Function to look like the rest of their web site," says Rich Roth, CEO/CTO of On-the-Net. "There is no programming or CGI experience required."
Added to its list of current web server functions (forums, rotating ad banners, form processing, simple text search, counters, serverside imagemaps and guestbooks) are:
These functions are more flexible and advanced than the Standard i-Depth functions. i-Depth GOLD starts the site builder with a fully operational web function that can be customized and integrate it into their web site. The GOLD functions are built on a flexible HTML based template system. To customize them, users modify variable settings and edit HTML with i-Depth’s interactive HTML editor. i-Depth’s GOLD GURU guides the site builder through the process.

The GOLD Live Chat function is an HTML based chat. It works with all common browsers and has good interactive responsiveness. Users have the option to use frames or turn them off. Web Site Builders can also customize the look of the chat windows to match the theme or atmosphere they are trying to create.
GOLD Web Post Cards aren't just cute, they bring traffic to web sites. People love free-bees and this is one every web site owner can add to their page to increase traffic. Postcard images can be created to match a web site theme, whether it’s fun games or serious business. The more creative designers get with postcards, the more people will come back for more and they'll send their friends and business acquaintances as well. "As soon as I put them up," said Barbara Spear, owner of www.yankeelady.com , "I watched the traffic to my site grow."
GOLD Classified Ads - Search, View and Post information to a data base. It is for web sites where visitors have items to offer each other, whether for selling, trading or just listing. The Classified Function provides full database functionality for entering, browsing and maintaining entries. The ads are sorted by category and sub category to make it easier for visitors to zero-in on products of interest. Visitors can also Search for keywords and display only those classified ads that contain the keywords they specify. Administrative tools let users remove old classifieds or classified ads you do not want to display anymore. This function also allows controlling who can post or maintain ads, which adds a level of security or exclusivity to a web site.
GOLD's Calculating Order Page takes simple web forms a to a new level. Once a web site starts to take product orders, making sure the process happens smoothly, stepping the buyer through the whole order and resulting in a ready-for-action order, is vital. GOLD's Calculating Order Page does that, with pages for entering the order, totaling it and then finalizing it with shipping and payment information. It also has the ability to handling shipping and sales taxes, as well as sending an order confirmation, pick list copy and database archive copy, thus minimizing the "Error Factor" in the order taking and delivery process.
All these i-Depth functions, standard and GOLD are currently available to all site builders at "http://www.i-depth.com", for a low monthly fee. On-the-Net offers FREE e-Mail Technical support. ISP versions and Consultant or Agent memberships are available. On-the-Net has a number of co-marketing relationships in development for i-Depth GOLD.
