Web Developer

Your Not Just the Web Guy

You're more than that. You get it right and your clients love you for it. You have the same dedication to perfection that we do. That is exactly why you need Annex. Become part of the Annex community and sell Annex directly to your clients. We know what it means to have a good reputation and to keep it that way. Make their website just as elegant to update as you made it work. We handle the technical support and any questions they may have so you can trust that your clients and your reputation are in good hands.

By putting the software within the browser we eliminate the preview function that doesn't always work. You know what it feels like to code an entire site and have it look wrong in 3/4 browsers. You get exactly what you see in Annex and nothing else. Streamline production and use Annex in house to do your own updates or the updates of your clients. No more coding and reloading--use the powerful in-browser interface to help with the time consuming processes of coding a website. Watch as the website seemingly codes itself, meet the deadline a day early and take that much needed time off, you've earned it.

Time

If you design a lot of HTML websites for you clients, you know how monotonous it is to make a ton of small changes. Your talents lie in creating websites, not figuring out what the client meant by "last name goes on the left". With Annex you hand the updating over to them so there is no to decipher a word document full of changes. Annex will give your clients the freedom to update content without needing to consult you first, and without going back forth for a week just to make sure you understand what they wanted.

Security

The one big issue web developers have with letting their clients update themselves is that they don't want the client to ruin their site. Luckily with annex it is designed to only update text and graphics. They cannot change the design that you initially made. Annex can even revert to an earlier version of the page in case they did alter the look. Since they are editing right within the browser they will know right away if the design has changed.

Profitable

If part of your business is keeping a revenue stream from updating sites, with annex you can still have that recurring revenue. 4 ten can train you or your staff on the software so you can offer support whenever necessary for annex. That way, if the customer cannot find their answers from one of our training videos, then they will have a service plan with you to get help. Plus, since annex is not a design tool, if they need any navigation updates or new design changes they still need you, thus, you don't get lost in the loop.
