Product Description
Secure, easy-to-use and affordable!
PastPerfect-Online uses a Web publishing export tool to create separate database files containing just the information you choose to share. You select the PastPerfect catalog records, images and data fields you want to publish, and PastPerfect-Online builds a fully searchable, collections-based website. Only the records and fields you select will be available to the public, and your online images can be watermarked without affecting your permanent PastPerfect images.
PastPerfect-Online comes with easy-to-activate and straightforward research tools and browsing features. Customizable email forms help you solicit feedback on items in the collection and provide Web visitors the opportunity to request image reproductions. Visitors can also email links to friends directly from your online records.
No Web design or programming expertise is needed to give your museum a world-class Web presence. Simple design options allow you to create a site that complements your existing website. If you don't have a website, PastPerfect-Online includes a free splash page for all of the important information about your museum.
Built on proven MWeb technology, PastPerfect-Online is capable of searching and displaying hundreds of thousands of catalog records. For a modest annual fee, we host your data and Web sized images at our Web servers. There is no need to maintain your own servers.
Plus, PastPerfect-Online comes with a monthly search statistics report and free submission to Google indexing. Each monthly report gives you total numbers for searches, a breakdown of search types and the most popular searches and records. When we enable Google indexing for your site, your collections become accessible to anyone using this popular search engine.
Note: PastPerfect-Online requires PastPerfect version 4.0 or higher with the MultiMedia Upgrade.
