If you decide that you do need the customisation, then the cost of the customisation will depend on your requirements. Because we have customised hundreds of websites, we have found that customisations projects, though all unique, can fall into common categories. To assist you in getting a feel on how your customisation may fit into the spectrum of possible customisations, we have listed some common customisation requests that we receive below:
Product Builder functionality allows website users to 'build' their own products online from a sub set of options and view a graphical preview of the final product.
A customisation to allow your website customers to recall past orders and add the items in those past orders to their shopping cart.
Used for websites which sell complex products or services that cannot simply be purchased. Instead the website user adds items to a 'quote request' and submits the quote request to the website administrator.
The facility to bundle items together and sell on your website as a single item, sometimes referred to as 'kitting'. This feature is sometimes used to offer a 'free gift' with certain products.
The display of listings, which generally advertise products or services, on your website. Does not include the facility for users to enter or update their own listings.
The display of listings, which generally advertise products or services, on your website. Includes the facility for users to enter or update their own listings.
Ability to display items GST Inclusive for NZ users and GST exclusive for International users.
The development of a customised spreadsheet to allow you to enter your product inventory into this spreadsheet and then upload this spreadsheet into your Zeald website. This is generally commissioned when you have a large number of products to import and your products have options associated with them.
Data Integration is the exchange of data between your Zeald website and another website or software application. This is commonly used to automate the transfer of data between your accounting system and your Zeald website.
An affiliates module allows you to provide links and online promotional material to affiliates, and to track and reward those affiliates for referring your website.
The facility to sell subscriptions (e.g. to a magazine, to a gym etc) online and create a secure area that only subscribers can access.
Below are some customisations that we generally won't take on. These are mostly large customisations where specialised software exists; we believe your best bet is to purchase specialised software as this software has had many thousands of development hours already 'pre-built' into the product. Note that there will generally be ways you can use a Zeald website in conjunction with this specialised software. We may also be able to give you pointers as to what to look for in such software. Talk to your e-business consultant for more information about this.
The facility to display availability of accommodation available and take bookings
An advanced system for document management, distribution and revision tracking
A workflow allows the managed execution of tasks. A large operation, or project is broken down into smaller tasks that are performed by teams or individuals
A business management system or systems that your company uses to conduct its operations
The design and development of custom online software
Content Moderation allows the website administrator to allow different levels of access control to website editors. Revision control allows changes made to website content to be tracked and, if desired, rolled back to previous versions.
Interactive Testing / Accreditation Software
Online software that includes the facility for the administrator to load tests online and for authorised users to take these tests online, and for the administrator to view test results.
From time to time we receive requests to develop a customised system based on a system that is not the Zeald Content Management System.
