We are glad to inform you that a number of significant improvements have been recently introduced to our systems.

E-commerce
  • Express website  Builder - The new Store button added to the top tool bar allows adding products and product categories, as well as managing various e-commerce options.
  • Express Builder - The new E-commerce category has been added to the menu of draggable elements. It contains the following online store management tools:
    • Store Search - a draggable search box which allows performing searches in product pages only. Can be placed anywhere in the website.
    • Store Category Menu - this element displays all of your store categories. Can be placed anywhere in the website.
    • Shopping Cart Button - A draggable element containing a fixed link to your store’s shopping cart.
  • Updates in Product Management: Store >> Manage Products.
    • We’ve added a thumbnail next to each product.
    • An icon that links directly to the product page as added.
    • All product settings are now hidden in a dropdown selection box.
    • In the Express Builder, all product and product category settings can be managed through Global Settings only.
    • The content of the product page automatically adjusts and is displayed in the site's responsive mobile display.
  • General Notes:
    • The image size for products has increased 10MB.
    • It's now possible to design the store's color scheme via Store -> Manage Store -> Store Settings -> Design.
Express Builder - Blog
  • A new Blog button has been added to the top toolbar allowing creation of a blog in your website, adding blog entries and managing various blog settings.
  • It's now possible to update blog settings from the Global Settings area.
Express Builder - Content Management Improvements
  • We’ve added popping titles to all elements, which will appear each time you drag a new element over it, such that you would know where the new element will be located in terms of page structure. For example, if you drag an element to the upper part of the website, the name HEADER will appear. If you drag it into a box, we’ll see BOX popping up.
  • From now on, each time you drag a new element to a page, you will see guidelines that will help you align your elements in relation to other elements in the page. In order to see the guidelines, make sure that the magnet button in the coordinates toolbar is on (blue).
  • It's now possible to set fixed margins to all web pages from one central location: Design >> Content Design >> Top/Bottom Padding and Left/Right Padding.
  • The main toolbar will now be fixed and will always appear on the left.
  • New options were added to page and category settings: page templates, navigation menu (“breadcrumbs”) and more. The settings can be defined by clicking Pages >> Right-click on a page >> Edit Settings.
  • It's now possible to set Global Settings to all pages and categories in the website.
Express Builder - New Tools
  • The system is now featuring the Search Box element. Can be dragged anywhere in the website. Located on the main toolbar >> Apps >> Search.
  • Mailing List is now available in the system, draggable to anywhere in the website. Located on the main toolbar >> Apps >> Mailing List.
  • You can now add fixed side menus. Once you’ve added a side menu, you can freely drag elements into it and design it by clicking on the meny and then selecting Style. To add a fixed side menu, go to Design >> Content Design >> check the checkbox next to Display Right/Left Menu.
  • We’ve added the possibility to create content templates. You can create premade objects and drag them anywhere in your website. Located on the main toolbar >> Apps >> Content Templates.
  • The new element called Category Content can display links and summaries of pages contained in various categories throughout your website. The element can be dragged anywhere in the website. Located on the main toolbar >> Apps >> Category Content.
Express Builder - Background Gradient Color Transition
It's now possible to freely and limitlessly combine background colors of page content, boxes, side menus and strips, using custom combinations or pre-made gradient transition templates. While defining design settings of an element, you can press on “Set Gradient” next to Background Color.

Resellers - Managing and Filtering Templates on Customer Sign-up
The template management tool available to resellers has been updated. From now on, you can change the templates’ order of appearance, filter them and perform other related actions. The update is relevant to both website builder versions.
To manage templates, log in to your reseller account >> Account Settings >> General Settings >> Select Templates next to the relevant language.

We keep developing and creating and we hope that you’ll benefit greatly from our new tools.
