Design Program Price Change

Dear resellers,

Please note that we will be adjusting the price of the reseller program this coming Monday.  The new price will be $499.00.  You will still earn a $100.00 commission for each one sold.  The reasons are for increases in pricing to get the design completed.  We have found that people who have paid $399 in the past are just as likely to pay $499.

Please ensure you update your own emails, note, sales tactics etc. to reflect this pricing change.  It will go into effect Monday.

Again, the new price is $499.00 for a custom design.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Website Builder Upgrade and Face Lift

Over the past few months, we’ve been doing some reconstructive surgery on your favorite website builder and before we launch, we want to give you a sneak peek of what’s to come at the end of March.

What you’ll notice right away…

Updated dashboard 
When you first sign in after the updates are launched, the biggest change you’ll probably notice is the dashboard. While all the information is the same, we’ve organized things a little differently to bring your most important information front and center.

Dash multisite no store - small
Top navigation on all parts of the website builder
Currently, the dashboard doesn’t include the tabs at the top that allow you to quickly access different parts of your website. Soon you will be able click “Edit Site” from anywhere in the website builder.

Single-site focus for accounts with multiple websites
If you have multiple sites under one account, you will notice that the website builder will only show information specific to the site that you are working with. You can also switch between sites right from the top navigation, instead of having to go back to the dashboard every time.

Updated features for ease of use
To make the website builder easier to learn, we’ve updated some features to work more similarly to others. For example, whether you’re adding an email address or a coupon, the process is almost identical.

What you may not notice…

Some of the changes we’ve made are “under the hood”, and they’ll make a more subtle difference to how the website builder works. The changes we’ve made to the code will:

Increase page-loading speed 
Following the upgrade, you may notice that pages load faster and you spend less time waiting for your changes to save.

Allow for faster development 
Modifications made in the back-end will make it faster and easier to make changes, updates, and develop new features in the future.

All in all, the upgrades should make it easier for you to work with the website builder, as well as pave the way for faster development in the future. 

We’re excited for these changes and hope that you find the website builder easier to use once they’re launched!

Updated Feature: Site-wide Footer

If you’re using the feature formerly known as “Page Footer,” this is a great update for you.

This feature, now known as “Site-wide Footer,” does just that – applies the same content to the bottom of each website page you choose. Just enter your text and images in the editor and select which pages you want them inserted on, and the builder does the rest!

Footer
Aside from the name change, this feature will now automatically apply your footer to all new pages. In the past, you had to go into the feature and apply it to all new pages.

To check out the new feature or give it a whirl, you’ll still find it in the same place: Edit Site > Site-wide Footer.

Message Board Member Management

Your customers now have an easier way to manage your message board members and applications

Many of you asked about bulk management of message board members, so today we updated both two areas within the message board:

Manage Members
You can now delete multiple members at the same time. Just select the members and click ‘DELETE’.

Mngmembers

Approve Applications
Accept or reject multiple member applications at the same time. Just Select the applications and click ‘ACCEPT’ or ‘REJECT’.

Approve

These two features should help make your cutomers make managing thier members a lot easier. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask Support!

Thanks!

NEW – Auto-Resizing Image Uploader!

Are your customers tired of needing to resize their images before loading them to their sites?

No longer! We’ve rolled out a brand new image uploader this morning. Check out the new features!

Images Resize Automatically
We’ll now automatically resize any large images. Any large images are reduced in size so that the longest side is 640 pixels maximum.

Load Multiple Images at Once
Load up to 10 images at a time by holding the control button as you click! No more individual browsing.

Thumbnail Preview
You can now preview your images before you upload them with the thumbnail preview.

New Photo Uploader

NOTE: The image uploader needs Adobe Flash version 10. If you don’t have flash version 10, the previous uploader is still available.

You Need to Make Sure your Editor is Upgraded by August 31st!

A few months ago, Easy Editor was upgraded.

We upgraded newly created pages and asked you to upgrade previously existing pages to the newest version, before site-wide changes were made.

So it’s friendly reminder time! On August 31 all pages in the system are going to be upgraded. The best way to proceed is likely for you to apply the change yourself, page by page.

What’s the Reason for Upgrade?

Cleaner code means fewer errors.

The existing editor converts text into HTML code – what we’ve done is streamlined the new editor to write more efficient code that is significantly more consistent from text to actual rendering. No extra, unnecessary code and cleaner looking pages.

Adjust the size of the editor for easier editing!

By clicking the bottom right corner, you can increase or decrease the size of the editor with just a click. That means no more scrolling to see the entire contents of your page!

Why page-by-page upgrades?

Because the old and new editors render code slightly differently, you’ll be able to catch any small discrepancies if you adjust the pages one at a time.

How is this done?

You can tell if your editor hasn’t been upgraded once you go to edit a page. There’ll be a notice at the top of the page with a link – click there and your editor will be changed over, along with your existing page content.

If you have any questions or concerns about the upgrade, please contact support.

Thank you!
