Finocket has one public site for each trade, under /sites. The hub lists the trades and each card shows the problem the trade lives with, the solution, a few use cases, a link to that trade's site and a Start button. A trade whose site is not open to visitors yet is not listed.
The pages of a trade's site
- Home. The trade's headline and what Finocket does for it.
- Challenges. The manual work the trade still runs on, what it costs, and what changes.
- Use cases. How a working day runs, step by step.
- How it works. Every stage of the business, before and after, and what runs by itself.
- Modules. Everything in the trade's site, by pack module.
- Pricing. Prices in rupees, excluding GST. A price that cannot be worked out from the price list reads "Price to be announced", never a number and never blank.
- Scope. What the site covers today, and what it does not.
- FAQ and Answers. The questions people ask about the trade. Answers lists the trade's top questions and gives each its own page. An answer that quotes a sentence nobody has approved is left out of the list and its own address is not found.
Compare
A table of Finocket against other tools the trade uses. Planned means we have not built it yet. Unknown means we have not verified and approved that claim yet. A row whose claim is not approved shows Unknown in every column, Finocket's included, so the table never states more than has been checked. On a phone the comparison starts against one tool, and the full table follows.
Switching to Finocket
One block for each tool the trade's research names. Where Finocket has a direct import from that tool, the block says what comes across and what does not, and links to the import. Where it does not, it says so and sends you to the spreadsheet import: export your lists as CSV or Excel and bring them in. Files are read on your device.
Signing in and signing up
The sign-in page of a trade's site is a doorway to the existing Finocket sign-in and sign-up. It adds no sign-in of its own. While the site is in beta mode, sign-up from here is by invite only: the button reads Sign up with your invite, and a visitor without one goes to the invite request form. Signing in is never blocked. How beta mode and the invite list work for the operator is in Beta mode and the invite list.
Jewellers: extra pages
The jewellers site has four more pages. Showroom, Directory and Ask for access are each not found until their own switch is turned on, and all three are off by default, so you may not see them on a given site.
- Trust. Shows only the statements about Finocket for jewellers that a named person has approved. If none is approved it says so, and it tells you how many more are waiting for approval without showing them.
- Showroom. The online showroom page. It shows an approved statement only, and stays out of search results until statements are approved.
- Directory. Shops that chose to be listed, by name, with a plain map of points and a list. No shop pays for a higher place. You can narrow it to one state. If the list cannot be read it says so, and if no shop has chosen to be listed it says that.
- Ask for access. A request form with name, shop, city, state, phone, email and a message, and a consent box you must tick. It is never listed in search.
