Testionials

During the recent Accrisoft Summit, we interviewed some of our Solution Providers to get a sense of how they use the software, what they like best about it, and what their customers think. We've turned these discussions into three videos:

Accrisoft Freedom for Businesses

The 2012 Accrisoft Summit

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500

The 2012 Accrisoft Summit was a huge success! The event was completely sold out, with a good mix of new and familiar faces. Attendees traveled from around the country, and even as far as Liechtenstein, and it was great seeing everyone for three days of education, networking and fun.

We spent a lot of quality time getting to know one another, discussing Accrisoft software and enjoying excellent meals and recreational activities. There was something for everyone, from business owners to salespeople to technical users.

For those of you who missed it, we will be posting materials from the event to the Accrisoft Ecosystem. This will include photos, videos, presentations and more.

Feedback from attendees has been excellent, and we can't wait for our next event. We'll keep you posted!

Backups Tab

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0500

The addition of Backups tabs in Blue and Green is one of my favorite Freedom features in a long time. In speaking with our users, we've found that some of you have noticed this tab, but aren't sure how it works.

It's pretty simple: If you or your client makes a mistake and you want to recover data from an older version of a page layout, module layout, stylesheet, web page or news article, this feature is a life saver. Just select the version you want to revert to, and it will stick it back into the module. Then, you can replace the current one, or just look at your older version and copy what you need.

You'll find them in the Home Module in both Blue and Green. I you want a more in-depth look at how backups work, follow along as Stanley shows you how:

What's New: White LED Link Wizard

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0500

We're always looking for ways to make our software more powerful and easier to use. I'd like to introduce you to one of these features, which premiered in Freedom version 7.0.

The White LED button now has a special Link Wizard that is accessible when you hover over it. This lets you construct links to any content of your site. You can either copy the link that's generated, or go there directly.

Watch the "Quick Tip" video below to see it in action:

FAQ Videos

Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0500

We've been hard at work on our new FAQ videos. We're planning to build a whole library of these videos, which will answer potential users' questions and entertain them at the same time. Take a look: http://www.accrisoft.com/faq-videos and let us know what you think.

Video Production

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0500

Accrisoft has invested in some new video production equipment in order to provide more video trainings.

We hope to be making them shorter and more concise, which will allow us to update them more frequently. In addition to a nice new camera (Panasonic HMC150), we also invested in sound quality by purchasing a new vocal mic (Blue Yeti Pro).

The first video to receive a "makeover" is our intro video located on our homepage.

What's New: Event Registration

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:00:00 -0400

Lately, we've been spending a lot of time on our event registration system, and we think you'll be happy with the results.

The new system lets you create signup forms for each event, keep track of attendees and generate reports about who's attending. Some of the most recent enhancements are designed to make the system as simple and intuitive as possible.

Here's some of what you can do with the new system:

Create up to ten signup forms for each event
Copy forms between events so they're easy to reuse
Use form snippets to simplify adding common form fields (such as credit card fields)
Create separate signup forms for members and non-members with different prices
Set an "early registration" discount
Add options and charge attendees extra money for them

We have a video outlining the new features, which you can watch below. Let us know what you think.

A Change of Direction

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 09:00:00 -0400

We've decided to make some changes to this blog and begin to focus on our company and software. We want to make this a place where you can learn about our team and the projects we're working on. We want it to be informal and (hopefully) fun. Keep an eye out for new posts ? we hope you enjoy the new direction.

Consultative Selling

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0400

Consultative selling is combining products and services to craft solutions that meet a customer?s needs. In the web development industry, this means doing more than simply building a website for your client; it?s providing the services needed to ensure that it succeeds.

The Website as an Investment

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0400

One of the primary problems that web developers face is selling to customers who aren?t used to paying very much for their websites. In many cases, a company pays just a few dollars per month for hosting and rarely makes updates, so convincing them to pay more money can be a challenge.

They know they need an upgrade, but often don?t realize what it really costs to build and maintain an effective, professional site. When they?re quoted a price, they view it as a prohibitive expense.
