Building Your Websites
Is IAB Partners easy to use?
Of course! You don't need any previous experience in website building to use IAB Partners. Most of the processes for setting up and maintaining your website aren't much different than what you're already used to doing on the Internet. For example, if you've ever gone through the process of purchasing something online, the process for changing your welcome message or adding a photo is just as easy.
Do I have to know HTML?
No. HTML (an Internet programming language) is not required, although you may use HTML code if you're familiar with it. IAB Partners is set up such that you can literally just point and click to build and maintain your website. You want your entire site to be featured in blue color? No problem. Just click on Homepage Editor, click the blue color button, and your entire site now appears in a blue theme. How's that for easy?!!
How long will it take me to build a website?
We realize your time is valuable. Building and managing your website shouldn't require much of your time. Therefore, once you signup, your website is automatically created and filled with pre-written content that you can customize later. Your website already has valuable info for customers and leads.
Can I use FrontPage or Dreamweaver with IAB Partners?
No. We do not guarantee IAB Partners will work with pages created in FrontPage or Dreamweaver, due to specialized coding added by these software programs. If you wish, you may copy your HTML code created by these software programs and paste it on your IAB Partners website pages to see if it works. However, we do not offer support for pages created in FrontPage or Dreamweaver.
Can I upload MPG, PDF, MP3, WAV, and other multimedia files?
Definitely. You can add most file types to your file manager by following the instructions on the add file page. Once a file has been added to your file manager, it will be made available to you to use in other section of your site.
Promoting Yourself Online
How will customers and leads find my website?
Just as many of your "traditional" leads don't find you without you first making yourself available through advertising and personal contacts, your online leads can't find you until you make yourself available on the Internet. The first step is to have a professional website with valuable information for both prospects and IAB members. The second step is to promote your website both online (marketing emails, etc.) and offline (placing your website address on your business cards, etc.).
How do I contact the people who visit my website?
With IAB Partners, contacting the people who visit your website is easy using the tools provided in your account. Visitors can contact you in two different ways (1) visitors can click on the "Contact" button on both the Membership and Associate sites and complete an online form, and (2) visitors can email you using your email address, found on any page of your website to send an email directly to your IAB Partners inbox. If visitors use the Contact form, personal information about those visitors (name, address, contact info) is automatically entered in your IAB Partners Address Book. Then, simply use your IAB Partners Email to respond to these contacts!
Customer Service
Does IAB Partners offer phone and email support?
