With WebCaster, your site will be up and running in the time it takes you to enter your information. WebCaster includes a content editor (similar to that of a word processor) that makes formatting text, adding files, and spell checking a snap. When you subscribe to WebCaster, you'll receive an email with simple instructions on how to access your site. Simply log on and follow the steps in the automated setup wizard. If you still need help, Calyx WebCaster specialists are available to answer your questions.
Customization and Maintenance
WebCaster contains a handy set of tools that make it fast and simple to customize and maintain your site. No HTML knowledge or programming is required. However, if you happen to be an HTML aficionado and would like to include HTML, WebCaster has the flexibility to accommodate it. Content management tools allow you to quickly enter, change, and update information—from loan officer biographies to the products, services, and resources you offer. Best of all, any content changes you make are instantly displayed on your site.
Complimentary Web Address
Every subscription comes with a complimentary Calyx web address, or you can choose to use or register your own. Either way, WebCaster takes the mystery out of web site hosting.
Visitor Tracking
With the visitor tracking tools, you can keep track of who visits your web site. Learn how many visitors you have, find out how many of them apply for loans, and view detailed information about each loan applicant.
Search Engine Marketing
Effective use of meta tags, keywords, descriptions, and title tags can greatly increase the chances that prospects will find your web site through a search engine. If you're not familiar with these terms, don't worry. WebCaster explains what they are and how they work, and enables you to make your web site more relevant to search engines. When your site is optimized for search engines, potential customers who are searching for a mortgage broker or a banker are more likely to find your site. And the more prospects who find your business on the web, the more likely you are to increase revenue.
When you subscribe, you can choose either Spanish or English for your site. All sample content is displayed in the language you choose. Next, the WebCaster Setup Wizard will take you through a step-by-step process that's easy to follow and makes setup and customization a breeze. If you'd like to add unique pages to your site, the Custom Pages feature makes it simple to add entirely new pages that contain the custom content you'd like to display. WebCaster will automatically format your new pages to coordinate with the rest of your site.
Simple Setup Process
