International Web Hosting Speed Increase (Free CDN Service)

We will shortly be replacing our international web hosting options with a powerful CDN (Content Distribution Network) service, that will give your website the fastest delivery speeds worldwide automatically. 

This CDN network will also provide more robustness to our server uptime, providing access to cached versions of the website in the case of outages on international connections. 

Normally you would need to pay about $40-$50 a month for a CDN service, however, we plan to give all our customers the benefit of this CDN service absolutely free. 

Learn more about the CDN Service

Improved Support Roster

We have created a new support roster for our team, we trust this will produce a faster response to emailed support tickets. Please note that our phones are often busy, as we only answer 1 call at a time, and emailed support tickets are more likely to result in service from other staff and enable us to research your issue before we talk to you.

POS - Point Of Sale Service and Better Stock Control

We are working on a very simple new POS service, that is essentially an efficient version of your existing online catalogue to enable you to capture orders from customers who come into your showroom. You can add Cash/Eftpos as a payment method, and you can produce sales reports within the reports area of the CMS. 

We will also be adding more features into our CMS over the coming months to better help you manage your stock. 

The very early stages of POS development are live, and you might even find a use for it now.

New Shopping Cart Reports

If you havn't been in the shopping cart reports area for some time, there are now more category and product sales reports that you can drill through. We will be doing more work in this area this year, particularly around stock control. 

Keeping your Computer Safe From Viruses. 

We encourage our users to keep their computer's safe. We often detect customers email accounts being compromised from either easy to guess passwords, or otherwise viruses on their computer sending their passwords to 3rd parties.
Please keep your computers safe by installing this trusted anti virus service on your computer.
Eset is what we use at home and in the office and you get 30 days free from the link below.

Receive a 20% discount off your web hosting, for life, by referring a friend 

Did you know that if you refer a friend to use our awesome website builder service, you get a 20% discount off your hosting? If you refer 5 friends, then you will essentially get your web hosting for free! Not only that, but your friends will also get their 2nd month web hosting absolutely free. That's a nice little encouragement for them to check our service out and gives us the opportunity to setup your discount. Both discounts apply for your  2nd and subsequent websites also. It doesn't matter if it is yours, a friend, family or a stranger. Discounts begin once both websites are live. Please make sure you or your friend communicates the referral at the earliest opportunity.

There are several places you can find answers to questions about how to build your website and add features (which, there are a lot of) and its free for you to look:

If you can't find the answer you need - then get professional help

In 99% of cases the answer to a problem is covered in one (or more) of these places. We always fix bugs fast, with all the users we have we get notified very fast of any real bug -  they are not common, so if you are having an issue operating the CMS consider some online training with us - you'll always take something away worth value.
