What IS a plug-in?

A plug-in is a tool that you can use to add new features to your website. If you have a content management system (CMS), you already have access to a network of available plug-ins so that you can get the most functionality from your website.

We have put together a list of popular plug-ins below, but the list doesn’t end there. Contact us today to see how we can add more function to your site. You choose–e-mail or call us, whichever meets your busy schedule.

4 Great CMS Plug-Ins for Your Website.

1. Social media links.

Like we talked about in our Blogging 101 discussion last week, it’s important to promote your blogs through social media. There’s a plug-in that can make this easier for you by automatically tweeting a link to your blog with the click of one button. Twitter and other social media networks (like Facebook) also have plug-ins that allow you to display your recent tweets, comments and more right on your website.

2. Mobile-friendly website.

We recently converted OldCityWebServices.com into a mobile website that can easily be viewed and navigated on any mobile device. This was done through the use of a CMS plug-in that translates your navigation menu and content into a condensed version that’s more friendly to mobile users. The plug-in automatically detects mobile devices so that users on a desktop will still see your full website, while mobile users will be redirected to the altered site. Visit OldCityWebServices.com on your mobile device to see this plug-in in action!

3. Photo Gallery.

Whether you run a bed and breakfast or a dog training center, photos can easily make your website stand out from others in the crowd. Showcase your photos with an easy to use gallery plug-in. You can upload photos, manage multiple galleries and more. Our favorite photo gallery plug-in can also pop out into a separate window so that your website visitors can easily scroll through your full size images.

4. Professional Slideshow.

When a photo gallery just isn’t enough, show off your photos in a professional slideshow. This plug-in (coupled with an installation of SlideShowPro) adds beautiful slideshows with built-in transitions, a thumbnail scroll and optional captions. You can create multiple albums to show on different pages of your website. Use this program to showcase your products, facility and more.
