In this issue of Website Builder news, August, 2013.
We have a new WYSIWYG editor mode for websites, it is the future direction of our content management system and it is a major change in the way you will interact with our CMS.
Rather than navigating the CMS menus you can just navigate your site, then click on any element you want to edit.
We hope you will like the new approach, and it is definitely the fastest way to access your often used content.
Your hidden pages can be accessed via the Web Pages tab in the top menu.
Click on the orange "Edit Content" button in the CMS.
Our last group training seminar was a success, and everyone learned alot. The 2 hour introductory course is a great way to start learning about our servivce, and how to use the core functionality to build your website, setup shopping, get higher on google, run a newsletter and more.
We now have 2 great training options available.
We've recently upgraded our Analytics integration with some help from the Google Analytics experts at Permission Marketing. If you need help with configuring your analytics to really use the data to drive your business direction, then you should contact these guys.

We have upgraded our SEO area in the CMS further, and you can now get free links to lots of affiliated business directories.
Just hover over the SEO tab in the CMS, and click on "Link Building (Directories).
Most directories are free, and we have already given a free link to all our customers in the: Website Builder Customer Directory.
Please help us make this community directory better by updating your classification and information.
If you require personalised training, we can provide this training in person at our offices in Grey Lynn, Auckland, or over the phone. Training costs $50 per half hour.
We would encourage all customers to get at least one hour of training at the early stages of building their website, and one more review prior to going live, just to give your website that professional critique, and quick tidy up of the rough bits.

How to use website builder and shopping cart

How to crop and tidy up photos
How to optimise to get your website higher on google and other search engines

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.
