Latest news at TX24 website design
News pages are GOOD
News is EASY to add
News items are added using a simple form within your control panel. As with everything else, we take care of the presentation, you just supply the words.
People like to read news. They like to know what's happening and read the latest things to happen to your business. It also shows that you are on the ball and that your site is current and not some old stale site that was created months (even years) ago that you couldn't afford to keep updated because you have to pay someone to make even the smallest of changes.
Since it's YOU who does the updating there's no excuse for not having a bang up-todate website - including NEWS!
Please note, this introductory text is fully customisable, your introduction will probably say something like...
Welcome to our news page
Here is the latest news at TX24.

New server and new upgrade
A new server is currently being configured and will be available mid March. This server will also have the long awaited tx24 control panel upgrade. In the meantime you are still on the old server and old control panel so trial users please take this into account when testing - things will get a LOT better.

Channel 4 "Risking Everything"
Yesterday was the 4th in this superb television series about people risking everything to start up a new business. Without exception, all the featured startups splashed their considerable amount cash on fancy premises and stock, opened the door and expected customers to come in. They didn't. Meanwhile their overheads continued to rise and they were in real trouble. What went wrong? Not one of them had a marketing startegy - they did not GO AFTER customers, they expected customers to come to them. One of them decided that a website was the way forward and spent £4000 (couldn't wait to take a look - it won't make much difference to their sales).
So are you going to make the same mistakes? Change your way of thinking, the old tired and trusted methods generally don't work.

Printer friendly option added
All pages now include a "Printer friendly" link at the bottom of the page. We also include full contact details at the top of the page so that whoever takes a copy always knows how to get in touch with you.

TX24 Upgrade takes place

For detailed descriptions of the new stuff please read the changelog (follow the link once you logon to your control panel).
27th February 2004
Next TX24 release
A new release is now in the final stages of quality assurance testing. The major new feature is multi-level menu processing which was requested by several of our users. The rest is cosmetic changes to the control panel and a rewrite of the user guide so it focuses more on the business issues of website design.
5th December 2003
Quotation boxes added
Quotation boxes are good for drawing the readers attention to important facts. This new functionality makes it easy for you to add them. You'll see a few quotes on this website (eg. the home page). Remember that on the Internet you have to GRAB the readers attention otherwise they could easily move off your site without reading what you have to say. A nice punchy quote will make them stick around and read deeper into your site.
