Please Vote for the
'Most Impressive Advanced Access Website'!
The Voting Has Started!
Thank you for
your contributions to our 3rd annual 'Most Impressive Advanced
Access Website' contest. The sites that were nominated are
all beautiful examples of some creative things you can do with your
Advanced Access website.
There are eight
different categories of Most Impressive Website nominations,
with a large selection of websites to choose from. You can only
vote once per category and the vote can not be changed. The
first seven categories are:
Best
Homepage
- Also known as “curb appeal.” When you enter the homepage of this
site does it WOW you, catch your eye in some way, does it appear
colorful and well organized, or is it just plain awesome?
Best Lead
Generator
- When you are voting for this category, read the comments submitted
by the owner, friend, or admirer to find out why they believe it is
the 'Best Lead Generator'. Also, view the website to see how the
owner guides their potential clients through their site to find out
how they capture visitors, etc.
Best Use
of a Template
- Does the site use one of our standard designs, but looks
completely revamped? Is the color, style or the navigational
buttons and top graphics simply extraordinary?
Best Use
of a THEME
- In creating a successful website, it's important to define WHO
your audience is. When you visit this site, do you find a repetitive
theme throughout the pages within? Do you know this site is geared
specifically toward a certain market segment such as first time
homebuyers or boomers?
Best Use
of an AA Feature
- Does the site find a unique use for one of the features offered
by Advanced Access? We consider an AA feature to be any of the
sections in the Virtual Office, including slideshows, local
partners, favorite links, community links, bulletin board, listings,
testimonials, free reports, about page, and more...
Most
Original Content
- When you view this website you might be asking yourself, "Who did
they hire as a copy writer?"
Most User
Friendly
- Do find this website to be incredibly well organized, and you know
instantly where you need to go to find what you’re looking for?
The final
category is the 'Most Impressive Advanced Access Website'.
This category contains *all* the websites from the rest of the
categories so one website can potentially win for two categories.
This
is your chance...
Why not use this
opportunity to go beyond your comfort zone…don’t just vote for your

do with the many programs and items available to you, don't forget
that we have put together a free resource of
Virtual Assistants who can be hired to help you make the MOST of
your website. We have assembled a list of testimonials from happy
Advanced Access clients about experienced VA's on our resource

professionals who are using Advanced Access' Marketing Tips to their advantage:
Cheri Young says:
"Okay - I admit, I worked for the competition and they are great.
But, you guys blow the competition out of the weeds with your
customer service. There has NEVER been a time where I called CS and
they were unfriendly. Just the opposite, extremely friendly, laughed
at my stupid jokes, did not make me feel like I was taking up their
time, and today was incredible. I asked Aaron to help me with
advanced features that I did not know AA offered. He was right on it
and completely understood everything I was asking for and did it
over the phone. I referred a client to AA after he was pounded on a
hard sale thru one of your competitors. I called Tricia and told her
the situation, and that I wanted to refer my client to someone.
There was never a smooth sales pitch, with an and/or buy now.
Thank you for the high level of professionalism and incredible
service. It is a sigh of relief that I don't have to sell websites
against your customers!)"
Robert Glover says:
"Brian Curtiss was awesome. Since I do not know squat about a
computer - he walked me through the simplest of things and I really
improved the look of my web page. The way you can serve me better in
the future is to have Brian there whenever I call! Thanks!"
Angela Young says:
"Jeremy could not have done a better job! He was knowledgeable, gave
us ideas we had not thought of (and we implemented them!) and was
really fun and personable to work with. He took the time to help us
with all our questions and did not make us feel stupid. After
explaining how each task is accomplished he offered to help us by
doing it for us! What service!!! That is hard to find these days!!
He is an asset to your company!! We look forward to working with
Jeremy again."
