Products

All products listed here are completely customisable for your organisation. This means that we can add and remove features, change the appearance, and integrate them into your existing database and processes.

The advantage of having your site built by Chirp is that you only pay for the initial setup. After that you can add, modify and delete content at your leisure.

Just imagine not having to call on a designer to update your website every time you put out a press release. Imagine being able to update your company website securely from home...

In addition to the below, most of our hosted websites run a customised content management system (CMS) and many include advanced administration functions, such as membership administration functions, e-commerce solutions, mailing lists, and more.

Shopping Carts
We provide customised e-commerce solutions so that your website is easy to manage and works exactly how you want it to:
Sample site: Nourished Life - naturally safe
Sample site: Sequins & Sand - resortwear for busy women
Sample site: Ronin Films - educational DVD sales
We work with a number of online payment gateways including: PayPal, eWAY (Australian) and Concardis (EU). Other systems can be used if they are compatible.
Some of the available features are: itemised invoices, real-time payment notification, generation of invoices and receipts, also in PDF format, printable mailing labels, MicroData tagging of products for search engines, and an advanced administration interface.
News & Events Manager
The News & Events Manager allows you to keep your site up-to-date without resorting to HTML and FTP uploads. It allows you to maintain Latest News online by just typing text into an online form. Each news item can include photos and file attachments and there is an automatic archiving feature.

To see this in action you need to resize your browser window to make it narrower, or use a mobile browser.
Links Database
The art of linking to other sites may be old-fashioned now, but it's still an important component of a good website. This module allows you to maintain a selection of useful links and resources for yourself and your visitors. You can group the links into any number of categories.
