Looking to build a dynamic, feature-rich, high-performance, extensible, secure, commercial or nonprofit charitable website? These are just some of the reasons why you might consider designing and building your website around the Biz Listings software platform rather than by starting from scratch..

• Slash Development Time and Cost – Reduce the time required to build and deploy your website from many months or even years to weeks or perhaps even days by creating a Biz Listings based website. Significantly less development time means much less development cost. Build a high-end, commercial grade website for a fraction of what you would otherwise spend. Not only will you save an extraordinary amount on development costs, but you can start monetizing your website almost immediately rather than spending your time and money building your website from the ground up.
  
  
• You Choose, We Build – Leverage our proven, simple to configure and manage, integrated components to design and build your customized website. The Biz Listings platform has virtually everything needed to quickly create your site. Our designers will work with you to come up with a feature set and design that best meets your and your customers needs. Or, use your own designer. Either way, once your design is just how you want it, we’ll custom-build your website exactly to your specifications. We’ll even host and manage it for you if you wish.
  
  
• Rich, Modular Feature Set – Simply incorporate the features you need into your website design. Start with our robust Content Management System (CMS) and then go from there. Examples include: Forums, Blogging, our Article Manager, a Calendar Event subsystem, our Business Subscriber and our Job and Resume subsystems, PayPal and credit card payment processing, Amazon.com’s Product Advertising API, our Banner Ad and Customer Feedback subsystems, site-wide search, a worldwide cities and postal code database for radius-based searches and address validation, a Donation Manager for charitable websites, and much, much more.

• Fast, Scalable, Flexible, and Extensible Platform – The Biz Listings software employs Microsoft’s .NET application framework to leverage the world-class performance, reliability, security, flexibility, and extensibility that Microsoft’s Windows Server platform, IIS, and SQL Server are renowned for. The Biz Listings software was carefully developed with these same world-class characteristics in mind using ASP.NET 2.0 and C#.
  
  
• Secure Platform for Business-Critical Website Applications – The Biz Listings software development team uses best practices for building highly secure website applications to protect against such threats as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other malicious attacks and security breaches. Example programming practices include encryption of sensitive data and transactions, proper partitioning of public access areas from restricted ones, role manager for roles authorization, secure exception management, parameterized stored procedures and type-safe SQL parameters, health monitoring and event logging, and much more. Sites which process payment transactions on the website should be hosted on a PCI-compliant server configuration (we can host for you at very reasonable cost, if desired).
  
  
• Search Engine Optimized (SEO) – The Biz Listings platform employs numerous SEO features to help make your website stand out from the rest. Examples include URL rewriting, directory-based search, a dynamically generated XML sitemap, admin-editable page titles and metadata, minimization of viewstate, and much more. If you like, we can help you submit your website to the top search engines once you’ve taken it live. We also offer SEO/SEM consulting services at very reasonable rates.
  
  
• Cross Platform Support – Biz Listings websites are compatible with the most important browsers (Internet Explorer 5.5+, Mozilla Firefox 1.0+, Safari 2.0+, Google Chrome, Opera 9.0+, and Netscape 7+) and desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) available in the market today.
  
  
• Dynamic Websites Rule! – With your Biz Listings based website, changes such as business subscriber profile updates, blog posts, newly posted calendar events, new or updated content pages, updated metadata, job and resume listings, payment page changes, new promotions, banner ads and the like are immediately reflected the next time a user accesses your website. Make page updates and other changes to your site through your secure, simple and intuitive administrator account.
