Cabela’s Corporate Outfitter
This is a subsite of Cabelas.com. Netconcepts was commisioned to create a site that was both useable and search engine friendly. With a database of thousands of products, the h1, page title and meta tags are generated dynamically.This helps significantly with increasing visibility and page rank in search engines like google. A database driven website traditionally has long urls with stop characters like “?” which prevent the site from being spidered. A simple naming system for each product page has avoided this enabling the entire site to be spidered with short urls also being friendly to bookmarking.
Netconcepts also provides the branded subsites of Corporate outfitters like Stihl Corporate Outfitters and www.dunns.com.

Essential Ingredients for Web Site Redesign Success
Sales & Marketing Executives International - Wellington Chapter — Wellington, NZ
So you’ve decided your web site needs an overhaul. Before you start work, you and your web developers need to do a bit of planning. Going off re-building a web site half-cocked is a sure fire recipe for disaster.
From this seminar you’ll get an understanding of what should go into a Request For Proposal, a strategic brief, a creative brief, a technical specification, a content plan, an Internet marketing plan, and more. You’ll also garner practical tips to keep your web redesign project on time, within the specs, and under budget. And you’ll learn what you need to ask from your web agency to keep them on the straight and narrow, even if you’re not a “techie” or a “creative” but a mere mortal like the rest of us.
If you catch yourself saying any of the following statements to yourself or colleagues, then run — don’t walk — to this seminar!
- Web design is just an extension of our current marketing collateral - we can reuse the text and graphics from our print pieces.
- If more people work on it, we’ll get it done faster.
- The Web is a place where you just try things and see what works - I have a friend who designs web sites in his spare time.
- Documentation is a waste of time and effort
- We can design the site ourselves and save money. We just want a group that will make the web pages we sketch out.
- We’ll send out a Request For Proposal and get lots of good ideas back for free.
- Web sites don’t need much maintenance. We can do it ourselves. It’ll be fun!

Designer Exposure
This site is unusual for an ecommerce site in that every product is a one off. The client updates the site by adding images and descriptions through an administration interface, and with stock being added daily the process needed to be easy to use. The client uploads a large image for each product which is automatically sized into large medium and thumbnails.
This site still performs well in search engines considering it has thousands of products changing daily. Makes good use of Netconcepts’ gravityMail email marketing software which comes as part of our ecommerce solution.
