New Features

New Template Selector

We have recently upgraded our template selector, making it easier to find the template you are looking for.

Product Options Management

Adding sizes, colours and styles to products just got easier. If your product range carries standard options, you should define these first. Then you can just tick them to add matching options to relevant products. The benefit of using standard options, colours, etc, will be that we will soon offer a product search/filter feature, and these standard options will ensure that function works more smoothly. You also have the option of adding images for styles as has been an option for colours for some time. Uploading image swatches for "standard colours/styles" will also save some time. We are also working on a new pricing/stock tracking system for product options. Stay tuned. 

iPhone App under development

We are about to embark on a iPhone App that will enable you to upload blogs, galleries and products direct to your website. Exciting stuff will update as we progress with this development.

Campaign Management - Automated Rules

Email Campaign auto subscription rules have now been activated.
