If you advertised on portcredit.ca, your ad would be home by now.

Port Credit's location on the lake makes it an ideal location not only to live or work, but also to play. Annual events such as the Mississauga Waterfront Festival, the Southside Shuffle (aka the Port Credit Blues and Jazz Festival) or more recently the Mississauga Marathon bring out thousands of residents and visitors alike.

Port Credit's lake front location places the emphasis strongly on marine related activities. Each year the Great Ontario Salmon Derby brings a large contingent of contestants eager to hook the big one. The Credit Village Marina offers 63 transient slips -- the perfect parking space from which to take in the activities. And if you haven't got a boat yet, you can always drop by the Port Credit In-Water Boat Show in August and kick a few tires.

A very lively live music scene, fine dining and a mix of martini bars and Irish pubs round things out, ensuring something for everyone.

The demographic information contained within that publication may be of assistance in helping you decide if your marketing dollar will be well spent on portcredit.ca.

A 'Content Management System' is software which, well, manages your content. In fact, you're using one right now: portcredit.ca is run by Joomla, an Open Source Content Management System which automates much of the functions of this Web site. Joomla is an example of free Open Source software which can take your Web site to the next level.

A 'normal' Web site is a collection of pages. A CMS creates the content only when that content is requested. The information used to create the pages is stored on the server in a database. One of the advantageous features is that information can be 'programmed' to be displayed during a specific period of time. Information on a sale can appear a few days before and automatically vanish the day the sale is over.

No more stale, out-of-date (and embarrassing) information on your site.

And content can also be created, changed or deleted directly from your Web browser with absolutely no need for any special knowledge or software.

All sites created by portcredit.ca include a FREE six month Banner Listing in the portcredit.ca Directory. Package includes a leaderboard banner on the top of all pages with unlimited impressions and is valued at $269.94.

For no-obligation information on Content Management Systems and the many advantages they can offer your business, please contact us today.

It's been over a decade since small business learned that having a Web site wasn't a luxury reserved for large corporations. In fact, with today's customers increasingly prone to researching before purchasing, businesses without a Web site now risk being passed over altogether.

Unfortunately, small business has also learned that a Web site can be a double-edged sword -- great for bringing in new business but time and labour intensive to maintain. And if there is anything that will send potential customers running in the other direction it's a Web site promoting a sale set to begin four years ago.

Timely maintenance is critical.

And that's where portcredit.ca comes in. We offer a complete site management service which lets you concentrate on and grow your core business.

Why invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in software, training and wages when you can “outsource” your Web site management to someone whose core business is just that?

Instead, just email your changes to us and rest assured that your Web site will be updated as soon as possible – usually the same business day. You pay only for the time it takes to make the changes to your site.
