WebTools
Since cave man, tools have made work easier. Thinking
WebTools enable more work to be completed for the same effort
- efficiency
The objective of a Thinking WebTool is to provide a site
owner with the most efficient way to keep the site up to date
and to provide the consumer with enhanced site functionality
Webcontrol - Webtools
Thinking has invested a lot of research and development
into creating a range of user-friendly interfaces for clients
to purchase and utilise on their sites, known as Tools.
The suite of tools is continually growing and changing to
suit the current needs of the marketplace, and hopefully
precede the needs of the marketplace.
Clients can purchase these tools as “off the shelf”
products through WebControl. WebControl products are sold as a
“U-Drive” system with basic training and documentation
provided.
Alternately, clients may purchase the tools as part of the
development package for a WebSite Build or extension of their
site functionality as recommended by one of the squads. In
these cases, they may choose to have Thinking install and
maintain the tool for them under the ThinkTools banner, or may
wish to assume responsibility for it themselves once it has
been installed. All of these options are available, however we
should continue to push the “U-Drive” model as a minimum
service, high revenue stream.
