The Cobalt Group – Dealer Website Vendor Profile

I have worked with Cobalt and other companies in the past, and until I was able to run my own internet department I never knew how much I wanted to be involved and how many ideas I had to add to my web site and ILM CRM tools. Well I learned real fast how much of a process that was if it even could be done at all as far as making changes.
 
Just a quick note regarding our Cobalt website and LMCC. I have had a great experience with both. The website is easy to maintain,and change. I have found LMCC to be a easy way to keep in touch with our customer base. The tech side for me has been great as well. Even if I call when tech support is closed, I will get a call from the on-call tech. The cost of all of this is very minimul as well. I am not a tech savy IM, but have always had patient answers to all of my questions.
 
The designs are outdated. If you want to edit something you run the risk of messing up the templates. When I used their site I had to use technical support to update the site for me with specials and changes simply for that reason. While, the tech support works great. They need change. Look at the styles that dealerskins or dealer.com have. One company I just found out about today is dealereprocess. They have a nice grasp on things. TK carsites are amazing as well.
 
Mark, we have a solution that I believe would work very well for you. You do have other options. It's a very flexible system called Backstage that is designed for non-technical people who want to be in control of their own web sites and be able to reach out to their customers and prospects instantly. We brand each company uniquely so that you stand out in the crowded arena of dealers. Feel free to contact us: yourcreativepeople.com
