The Website Design Centre went live today following a 6 month development. The Website Design Centre is aimed at small to medium size business, which need a internet presence but donât want to invest high amounts of funds into web. The Website Design Centre also offers a full content management system or CMS, allowing customers to update their own website from an easy to use online interface.
The Website Design Centre is sold through currently around 30 resellers across the UK and further plans to release the system into France, America and Germany in 2009.
What's this? Another release? Well not quite, it's an update to our previous release and a small one at that. Although it does include a nice feature for domains and a bug fix.
The key feature of this release is the addition of the preferred site address. This means that if you have one or more domain names, you can select one of these as your main address and whenever anyone types in one of the other domain names then they will redirect automatically to your preferred address. This is a very powerful feature for those wishing to make the most of marketing their site and using one particular address. You can do this by logging in, going to Admin > Site Address and then selecting your preferred address from the drop down. Once you close the panel, your site will refresh and you will have to log in again, which you will only need to do once.
What we have also released is a fix to the Video-no-audio bug. So for those of you who had videos on your site and needed to refresh the page to hear the audio, this is now fixed. If you have multiple videos on the same page you may hear a short burst of sound which is another bug we are looking at but we felt that ensuring your videos played audio was more important.
And coming soon: Google Maps widget. A simple widget to start with that will allow you to set a location, zoom level and permit toggling of basic features. We are aiming to get this out next release along with a number of other features. So we will keep you posted.
