 Back once again with version 3, Anna's site has been re-designed to allow her to keep her public up-to-date with the latest news in her Jet-Set lifestyle!
Upgrading the site to our favourite CMS (Joomla!), Anna now has full control over her site information, photos and music, as well as a customised way to manage various types of contacts, from potential booking agents to general public.

By using custom forms, Anna can find out more about her site visitors before she even needs to talk to them!
Click here to see the two custom forms used - one for a general contact, one for companies or individuals looking to book Anna for a project or event.
The CMS we use (as with most web sites) relies on information passed to it within the web address.
For example, http://www.annabuckley.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=4&Itemid=30 links to the page for Anna's music. Whilst this is great for the web site, it's not so easy to remember!
We added a feature that turns this address into an easier-to-remember web address - AnnaBuckley.com/music. MUCH better, right?
 The added bonus here is that this MASSIVELY increase the way that search engines deal with the information. To continue with this example, if we search Google for "Anna Buckley Music", the number one search on Google is... you guessed it - AnnaBuckley.com/music!
Anna's home page takes second place on the search results, because Google knows that this is still very relevant and there is still a chance you want the home page - you might just not have known she was also a model and a photographer!
 This product is available in our Web Store! The E-mail Newsletter is the very best way to ensure that your site visitors keep up to date with the latest news and offers from your company.
Anna uses the newsletter add-on for her web site to update an unlimited number of subscribers to her latest news, but only has to write the information once! Subscription is 100% automated, as is un-subscription, should someone wish to leave the newsletter, making it the perfect solution for Anna to keep her fans happy.
Anna also took advantage of our E-mail Newsletter Template to keep everything looking the same - however the information is delivered to her public.
