Extensive Functionality

Responsive, eCommerce, Multilingual, e-mail, SSL, Anti-Hacking …much more.

All Blensis websites are packed with dynamic functionality.

Below is a list of the most important features.

 

Responsiveness

Website responsiveness is the ability of a website to “respond” (re-size) to the shape and size of any device. Since most website visits today happen on mobile devices, responsiveness has become an essential feature.

Blensis websites are mobile friendly and fully tested for their responsiveness on smartphones, tablets and computer screens. We verify that all website elements behave as intended for each device.

As an example, try testing the responsiveness of this page by resizing your browser on a regular computer screen, or on a smartphone, rotate your phone vertically and horizontally.

 

eCommerce

Do you want to sell products and services online through a website?

There are two ways to do this.

  1. You sell products and services through a website and receive payment after invoicing customers.
  2. You sell products and services through a webshop that requests payment via credit or debit card at the online “checkout” stage.

In most cases you will need a payment gateway on your website that allows customers to pay through your website.

Blensis has set up various payment gateways on websites and webshops (WooCommerce) that sell products and services, and can do this for your website as well.

*Important: In order to legally run a business that collects financial transactions through a website, you or your business will need to be officially registered as a commercial entity. For more information on this subject you should contact your local Chamber of Commerce.

 

Multilingual

Creating a multilingual website is a great way to expand your visitor base internationally. There are a number of options to make your website multilingual including machine translations, human translations or a combination of both. Machine translations are a quick, easy solution, but can suffer from inaccuracies. Human translations are more complex to implement but also more accurate.

Blensis has extensive experience implementing both machine and human translation services for multilingual websites, including multilingual webshops.

For human translations, an external translation service may be required.

 

Plugins

WordPress plugins are the backbone of WordPress’ success. WordPress plugins allow for an unprecedented range of extremely specific website functionality. Most plugins have a free version and will offer increased functionality for the paid version (like an app on your smartphone).

With over 8 years of experience using WordPress plugins, Blensis has an advanced ability to implement and customize plugin functionality to fit your specific website requirements.

 

e-mail

Creating a website with its unique domain name (URL) allows for e-mail accounts associated with that domain, e.g., info@yourdomain.com, which you can use for communicating with visitors and customers who use your website.

Blensis can arrange e-mail accounts for you through your hosting plan.

 

Contact Forms

It’s standard practice to offer website visitors contact options. This is usually done with a contact form.

Getting contact forms to work properly on a website requires experience in understanding how the website interacts with contact forms and e-mail servers.

Blensis has set up this type of functionality on numerous websites, including using different mail server variations.

 

Secure SSL Certificates

SSL Certificates insure that information exchanged between a visitor and a website is secure. Examples of information include filling in contact forms or payment data for webshops.

A website has an SSL Certificate when the URL has a lock symbol and begins with https://

SSL Certificates are now standard for websites, but there are different types for different levels of security.

Blensis can set up SSL Certificates as well as determine the type required for any particular website.

 

Anti-Hacking

Anti-Hacking software is a must for today’s websites. Hackers continually scour the internet for vulnerabilities in websites using automated bots to do most of the work. When a bot finds a vulnerable website, the hacking begins.

There are many forms of hacking, including placing malicious scripts on websites to intercept visitor data that can later be exploited, or placing special code into a customer registration form that returns all existing customer data to the hacker.

Blensis installs Anti-Hacking software on all websites to insure that security is at its maximum.
