Housing Association Product

There are many housing associations throughout the UK with a responsibility to relay as much information as possible to the residents and visitors within their area.

They also have a responsability to keep everyone up to date on financial matters of the housing association among other things and a website is the perfect medium for doing this.

 

What does this product include ?

• Make changes very simple – add images and text.
• Create New Pages
• Relocate pages to different areas of the website
• Multi level ( 3 ) navigation and multi positioning on website. So you can have a main page with sub pages, and each of those sub pages can have sub pages also – allowing for a very large website to be created
• Allow ANY page of the website to be the home page
• Built in Search Facility for site visitors
• Create Housing stock pages – show images, descriptions, future developments, number of units available, etc
• Upload a photo library for use anywhere on the website
• Upload a file library for use anywhere on the website
• Create numerous download pages or a single download page
• Easily create ANY number of forms
• Create different access usernames and passwords for different people to Modify different areas of the website
• Create multiple style tables and locate on any page in any position
• Create a register page to collate visitor information for later emailing Association information. Site visitors could chose to receive information on things such as; housing availability, annual report, repairs information, rent payment, or whatever else your housing association feels is relevant to your residents and area visitors

Housing association websites are also an easy way for residents to contact the association with matters such as repairs, or requests, or simply to get in touch.

Kiswebs, having worked with a number of housing associations on developing quality websites, have developed a solution specifically aimed at meeting the relevant criteria for a housing association.

• Back end emailing facility – this easily allows the association to create an email and send it to those that have registered for information on that particular subject matter
• Create multi column pages – 1, 2, or 3 columns of differing width for variety
• Hide pages you are working on or are seasonal and bring back on by simply clicking a button
• Simply insert Title, Keywords, and page description information on EVERY page - to assist with being found through search engines
• Delete pages with ease – although always selecting the “confirm” option to avoid accidental deletion of pages
• Create Search Engine Friendly page names - to assist with being found through search engines
• Create and edit News pages with easy setup of archived news stories. Each news story is date ordered and has a small introduction on the News page which clicks through onto a full page dedicated to each news story
• Easily create a links page with an ordered series of links helping your housing association website visitors to find other relevant and associated services on  other websites
• Create links to external websites easily on the site navigation
• Easily create a site map page and position this where you feel relevant
