Smallholder online gets a revamp
A
s part of our continuing drive to make the
Gauteng Smallholder
as accessible and useful to as
many smallholders as possible
we have recently overhauled
our website, giving it a fresh,
new look and a “seamless”
interface to the on-line
version of the magazine.
This is of benefit to online
readers, as well as to advertisers in the magazine, as their
advertisements now have
links to their websites.
Thus, an online reader has
only to click on an advertisement of interest to be taken
directly to the advertiser's
website, from where he can
glean further product
information, pricing etc.
Tablet users and those who
access the internet on their
smart phones will be
delighted to know that the
website and magazine are
now “mobile-enabled”. The
system is geared to recognise
which type of device you are
accessing it on and will direct
you automatically to the
correct format for your
device.
Significantly for advertisers,
there is no additional charge
on our part for these added
facilities ~ it's all part of our
service to our clients.
For advertisers who don't yet
have websites we have put a
link to a telephone number.
For online readers who
struggle with slow, expensive
3G connections we suggest
you download a pdf file of the
edition of your choice ~ the
file is not very large ~
whereupon you can read the
magazine at your leisure on
your computer without
chewing up data on a live
link.
There are easily-found
buttons and instructions on
the site should you wish to
download the pdf file.
The online version of the
magazine is uploaded to the
website about a week before
the printed version is available, usually in the third week
of the month preceding the
month of issue.
As a result we no longer
publish separately classified
advertisements as they are
received, or diary and event
entries.
In their stead we have
41
www.sasmallholder.co.za
expanded the scope of our
online offering of useful
documents and links, and will
continue to do so as new
information comes available.
Allied to the changes to our
website, we have launched a
Facebook group, which we
hope readers and
smallholders countrywide will
use to exchange information
and views on smallholderrelated topics.
