Internet Marketing

Mike Saunders is a marketing consultant who specialises in internet marketing and social media campaigns. He started his business at the beginning of 2010 and decided to use the Unisite Business Software to manage his financial admin. Mike uses wordpress as his blogging software and was pleased to see how the unisite integrated into Wordpress and started using the websuite wherever the wordpress software was not flexible enough to display his content correctly.

We are excited to see Mike using the Unisite Business Suite because it proves the value if the system to small business in South Africa.

Glamour Bride is the latest internet marketing concept from Mike Saunders and is targeted at the Wedding Industry niche. Promoting the wedding industry in South Africa online through search engines and social networks. The big difference is that Glamour Bride are more interested in providing a wonderful experience for the bride by producing quality content. Glamour Bride is not an advertising portal, its a place to find organised information about the wedding industry in South Africa.

So what does this have to do with Unisite and Sesalos.
Simple! Glamour Bride was built on a Unisite platform and design by Vaughan Marias at Sesalos. The Unisite was seamlessly integrated with the Wordpress blogging platform. The blog designs started with WooTheme templates that were customized to match the Unisite design.
Another example of the flexibility of the Unisite Content Management System.

Lets face it! Websites are a pain to manage and they end up costing too much in monthly updates fees. This reason alone has made creating client websites a non-profit venture.

This is why Unisite aims to partner with you. Our primary interest is to see you succeed through the Unisite.

Plus there’s more!

Unisite is a full business software package that includes intranets, project management systems and accounting software.

The ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) model allows Unisite to provide larger value to the client as we seek to improve our service offering.

SaaS means that Unisite is offered as a service to our clients rather than as a product. Software products have always been a bitter-sweet investment by consumers because they get great value once the product is purchased but the product is out-dated before the shopper even reaches the exit door. This is why software product companies choose to offer ‘ugrade purchases’ to reward those customers who have bought previous versions of the software. Software service, on the other hand, offers much more to the client by taking on the upgrading and updating of software as part of the service. Essentially allowing the client to have the latest version of the software at all times.
