Did you know that research has shown that over 80% of people who buy used vehicles look for them on the internet first and that over 15 million households in the UK have access to the internet. This makes the internet a powerful and cost effective form of marketing for your company.
Catalyst can provide you with an inexpensive and simple way to get an on-line presence. A website from Catalyst in its simplest form includes automatic uploads of vehicle stock for customers to browse, easily editable news and promotion pages as well as traditional home and contact pages. The more advanced option includes full ecommerce facilities. Your company website can be online and fully functional next day and for as little as £375 or £15.75 a month.
There are three routes to web based e-commerce from Platinum. Depending on individual requirements Catalyst are happy to advise as to which is best for you.
Platinum O is our standard website facility, it includes automatic uploads of vehicle stock for customers to browse through, easily editable news, an about us page, find us page and a traditional home and contact pages. With a large selection of templates which can be altered to include your company's graphics and colour schemes, you'll find the perfect website for your company. To view our selection of templates, please navigate to the template viewer at the bottom of the page.
Platinum can provide full e-commerce facilities as an optional feature for our template web sites. Essentially this provides a set of standard pages to allow stock to be sold. These pages may be configured as required from within Platinum software and will be styled in line with the website to reflect company colours and pictures. Orders received together with card details for payment will be delivered to the Platinum desktop software for processing, dispatch and invoicing.
This is intended for clients on a budget who want e-commerce facilities in a standard format. Individual pages may be configured within the software to group stock lines and present images and text to illustrate and annotate individual pages.
This is intended for clients who wish to engage a third party web developer to create a custom built e-commerce solution. Essentially we are providing a simple standard interface to provide your web developer with comprehensive stock and customer information.

Training & Implementation
It is possible that some help and assistance will be required in deciding the strategy of how to analyse stock lines in order to provide sufficient information to allow the web page to logically group and display your selected products. Our time for this will be charged hourly or daily at our usual rates.
Catalyst, as stated above, can provide your company with an easy to maintain website with automatic content generation (including bike/stock updates). We have a selection of ready made templates which can be easily customised to incorporate your company colours and logos. Below is just a small selection of the templates available. All template images and colours are changeable; we can alter the templates to account for your corporate image or franchise!
