My name is Jim Hofton and this is the bit where you find out some extra stuff about Autofone and about us. Our contact info is a little further down.
I hope you like our website – we wanted it to be easy to navigate, quick, structured and very informative, but at the same time, fun to use. I hope you think we’ve achieved all these aims...please let me know.
But Autofone is much more than just a website. We’ve brought the phone into play – and in a big way too! And why the phone? That’s Simple. Because we’re all interested in buying and selling cars from time to time yet about 40% of the UK don't have the Internet...but virtually everyone’s got access to a phone!
By providing sellers and buyers with top quality website ads, superbly presented mobile ads and our unique talking ads – all accessible by a click, a call or a text – we rightly reckon that we’re the first service in the UK (and probably in the world!) to deliver car adverts to anyone at anytime and from anywhere!
And for dealers, it gets even better! Autofone is the only service in the UK which lets your potential buyers see colour photos and comprehensive details of your entire stock on their mobile phones. Better still, we can provide your own fully branded mobile website simply accessed by your own 'dealer personalised' text messaging service.
I always knew what I wanted Autofone to offer and I knew the technology existed to deliver it. However, I’m first to admit that I don’t know too much about how all the different technologies we use actually work – but the guys who put the whole Autofone service together certainly do. For some reason beyond me, they like to describe themselves as “scruffy geeks!!”
These scruffy geeks know one heck of a lot about websites and quite a bit about the phone too – particularly how, where and when people like to use it. And they have a pretty thorough knowledge of the complexities of voice, sms, data and internet communications. Autofone is an example of how these diverse technologies can be combined and transformed into a simple, effective and successful service.
Besides Autofone, we’ve developed bespoke phone based applications over the last few years for many ‘household name’ companies and organisations including the CBI, Grattan, Legal & General, World Books and Worthington.
Anyway, that’s enough for now. So please try out and enjoy all aspects of Autofone, and don’t forget the... (I’m sure you know by now!). If you want to contact us or myself personally, please see the info below.
Regards,
Jim Hofton
