Back-up open and start page gets major overhaul

Back-up open and start

We’ve just completed a major overhaul of the back-up open and start and page, opting to use the manufacturer logo alongside links to the separate open and start sub-pages.

Back-up open and start processes are made necessary by the loss of battery power in key fobs, a common occurrence in today’s push-button start cars.

This comes as part of an effort to get more attention to the pages. While we believe these pages to be of great potential value to drivers, they are rarely visited.

Sadly, we have the information needed to open and start cars from 45 different manufacturers selling hundreds of models into the North American market.

In fact, we consider the website to be the leading resource for this information in the world.

For the record, we started to use the terms Back-up open and Back-up start in the links and got some feedback from an average driver who didn’t understand what it meant!

As a result, we may be making many additional changes focusing on phrasing!

In any case, the two images give a hint as to the change in display. Originally, the page was simply a list of manufacturers followed by links to the proper post (right).

Now, as we noted above, the manufacturer logo is seen with the links in an adjacent box (above right). The companies remain in alphabetical order.

We hope and believe it will at least be more pleasing to the eye, and perhaps the search engines.

The back-up open and start page can be seen here.
