Why the Change?
Well frankly, our old site was very old and tired. The site had been up sense
2002 and we really had not keep it updated as we should. The original site was
old and not very astatically pleasing. It too was a strictly html based site
which was static and difficult to update. Our new site is a php based web site
which gives us the ability to have a dynamic web presence and link to a
database. All in all, the new site will be better for you, our customers and
friends, us, and our advertisers.
What is on the New Site?
The new site still has information and photos of our great, handcrafted wood
storage buildings, it is laid our a bit different and looks better and has
things easier to find.
Below is the main menu to the new site. Click on lover and see what it is
like.

Products:
We do have some new products but the biggest chance is
the website and how you can view and access it. We hope this change will be
something that will improve your life. If there are bugs, please bare with us
for the first few weeks as there are bound to be bumps in the road.
Thanks:
Thank you to our customers, friends and affiliates who
have helped make the past few years a rewarding time. With the ups and downs of
the economy time are sometimes hard, but we will always work to provide a
superior portable storage building at a fair price and with terms and purchase
options that make owing a Southern Portable Storage Solutions building easy and
affordable.
News:
One problem of the old static html site was that it was very difficult to
have current news and events updated regularly. With our
new php/mysql sit we can keep much more up to date. We can list new dealers and
affiliates, have information and pictures of new building models, and
information of new or changed financing and discount options, and generally keep
things much more current.
Note:
Just a note on why we keep this page up after we rolled out the new site.
Like most all businesses which rely to an extent on the Internet, search engine
ranking is very important to us. While Bing, (and Yahoo through the Bing search
engine,) does not seem to punish sites for having the same page at different
urls, Google certainly does. After our update out home page was at
http://southernstoragesolutions.biz/index.php but the home page that Google
has indexed for years was
http://southernstoragesolutions.biz/index.htm. If we left the same content
or even closely the same content, then Google would have substantially reduced
or ranking. In a few months there will probably be no need for this page and it
will go away, but until then, enjoy.
