- Responsive design - Your website visitors and prospects have to be able to load all car pictures in good quality and read car details easily on all sorts of desktop and handheld devices.
- Modern design - The cover sells the book, as they say. A stylish homepage, varied layouts and color schemes will help you unleash your creativity and attract target customers.
- Auto classifieds software / Car inventory manager - One should be able to easily add new cars, delete old listings and use all the features of the classifieds software - car search, image gallery, car details and description, contact info, car compare functionality etc.
- Simple Content Management System (CMS) - A user-friendly and clear-cut CMS will make your website administration more pleasant and independent. You can adjust all settings and update contents on your own, especially when you have a smart on-site editor on your side.
- Social media links - Make sure your car dealer website has quick links / icons to the most popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.) so that visitors can find you immediately on the go.
- Search engine optimization - In today’s world of information overload and service oversupply, it’s hardly possible to rank on Google’s page one, but if you need a fresh extra traffic from search engines, you need to have a technically optimized website fitted with all necessary tools to make it SEO-friendly even on your own.
- Channel management - Buyers surfing online in search of a new car will most probably land on some of the biggest “cars for sale” online platforms. The ability to post your car listings on these popular online hubs through your website’s car inventory manager will save you lots of time to manage multiple accounts and online channels.
