When your business depends on getting customers, members or users to register,
offering a useful service is a great incentive. This can induce a prospect to sign up, log in,
and return to your site. Our planning module gives a registered member powerful interactive tools
to use for planning a major event.
Created for a wedding planning site, this system can be adapted for other settings
in which users plan major events. Examples could include vacations, conventions and trade shows.
All the user's data is private and secure, accessible only with a username-and-password login.
Helping the user to link to resources can reinforce the website owner's competitive
advantage. In this example, prospective brides and grooms can select potential wedding vendors from
the site's database of advertisers. Creating this "my vendors" list helps solidify relationships between
site users and affiliated businesses. Access to detailed information about these local vendors is
emphasized as a key reason to sign up and use this free system.
Features include:
Countdown checklist. As the event date approaches, unfinished tasks gain greater
urgency, shown by color coding: Red for those requiring prompt attention, green for those completed,
black for tasks that can wait. One-click links let users browse potential vendors for each task, and
create a "short list" of those under consideration. When a vendor is been selected, the system creates
a link to that business's online listing for the user's convenience.
Appointments calendar. Users can quickly create entries for planned meetings or
consultations, with private notes about the vendor. A one-click feature hides or shows past calendar
entries, as needed.

site for guests wishing to buy photos. This page is accessible only with a special password that the
user can send to those she wishes to use it.
