Client Tools

If you have specific requirements for your site you will probably have in mind some bespoke tool that will allow your users to interact with it. Just Search can not only help you build these tools, but we have a library of our own tools that can be adapted to suit your needs. Our client tools come in four different types and are separated by how complex they are.

Full applications that can be tailored to fit into the look and feel of your site. These tools can be anything from an image rating script to a fully customisable and adaptable directory system.
Medium
The middle ground of tools that are not full blown applications, but will probably need their own page somewhere on your site.

Why Have Tools?

Increased Conversions

We can create a tool to allow your users a different way of interacting with your site. If they are not sure what they are looking for when they come to your site then you can help them by creating new ways for them to search for things.

Improve Stickiness

Once users get onto your site it can sometimes be hard to get them to stay. Adding a tool will make users who have just entered your site think about staying a bit longer and make that all important purchase.

Link Bait

Adding a tool not only generates interest for users already looking at your site, but will also create something that people can link to from their own sites. This builds links in a natural way.
