Sold at Auction is the latest site for us to put online. It includes two editable pages (upcoming auctions & links) so that the client can edit and add new items at anytime they want. These edits can be done within the web browser without needing any extra software and are as easy to change as writing an email.

The upcoming auctions page displays all the latest auctions in sequential order. When a new auction is added by the client it also automatically appears on the site's left hand sidebar which is on the frontpage and most pages across the site. Users of the site can easily see and read more information from this sidebar and this info is automatically rendered as an RSS feed.

RSS Feeds

An RSS feed is what we are using here on our blog. RSS feeds are great because they help a site from an SEO standpoint but also automatically update users and other web sites of updates to a site, or latest auctions in this case.

Users of the site can subscribe to these RSS updates through their email client, an RSS reader or even their Google homepage so that they get sent updates to the site (the latest auction information in this case) whenever it is posted online, for as long as they subscribe to this information.

Using a free Google service like feedburner will give you even further reach by pinging web sites such as Digg or del.icio.us and show you how many users are subscribing to your feed. It will also allow you to automatically send updates via email to subscribers and even automatically add each post to your twitter feed.

Users no longer need to go looking for information; it automatically comes to them.

This is great for internet surfers and also site owners.
