As many of you already noticed, recently we completely redesigned our main SiteKreator.com site. With the new design, we also introduced a few new packages. The most notable is our Business Deluxe package loaded with the full set of business features, 2Gb storage and a complete custom design. As more plans are being added we needed to rename few of the existing packages. For example, the Power package is now Business Premium, the Business package is now Business Standard and the Personal package is now Personal Complete.
In addition to this, all our packages got a significant increase in the storage. For example, the Business Standard now comes with a full Gigabyte, while the Personal Complete comes with 400Mb. This will give you more space for your photos and videos.
For more information about our new packages, visit SiteKreator.com.
With the Text and Images editor you may add video files and turn on/off a number of options like autoplay, controls and so on. However, depending on the format of the video file you uploaded, your visitor would need a browser plugin which may not be installed on his computer. This limits the visibility of your video files.
The new option to add Flash Video (FLV) files inside the Text and Images editor allows to display video using the Adobe Flash Player - available on more than 99% from all internet connected computers. You may convert any video file (MOV, AVI, etc) to FLV format by using a simple convert tool, like On2 Flix Standard for example. Then just upload the FLV file from the usual Add Media option in the Text and Images editor and your video will be visible to everyone. Learn more »
And, now you can upload files (including FLV) up to 100 MB in size. Enjoy!
We are pleased to announce that we just released the official version of the new sign-up and change-design interface. Check out the new sign-up here.
The main advantages of this new interface are:
Support of a much larger number of designs. Only the designs currently visible on the screen are loaded. Expect many new designs soon.
Filter by Design, Color, Industry, Year of release or just browse all designs.
Option to see all colors for a specific design.
Convenient zoom in/out with an option to select and browse previous/next design (you can even use the arrows on your keyboard).
More control over the initial content of the site, like specifying the list of initial pages and their names, filling in the slogan, contact and about us information and more.
We hope you'll enjoy the new interface and as always, would love to get your feedback on it!
We just released a new version of SiteKreator that significantly improves the performance of the new editing interface on slow machines and Internet Explorer 6 (IE6). This was achieved by disabling some of the animation effects visible when adding/moving content elements or opening edit windows.
We automatically disable the animations on IE6 and slow machines only, but you can also manually disable them from Control Panel > My Account > Editing Interface Options.
Today and tomorrow, SiteKreator will be presenting at the Web Design World Conference in Westin Copley Place, Boston. On Tue, 9 Dec, 9 AM EST, SiteKreator's CEO Ivaylo Lenkov will open the second conference day with a keynote on "Web Design in the Cloud".
The keynote will touch upon the history of cloud-based business apps, productivity tools and CMS and will pose an important question: why has the web design creation process been left behind? Lenkov will present the latest advancements, benefits and limitations in taking this process to the cloud and will attempt to draw the road-map ahead, introducing SiteKreator Pro as one of the possible answers to the growing demand for cloud-based web design.
We can still arrange for some free or discounted conference passes, so please contact us if you are in the vicinity of Boston these two days and would like to visit. We'll be glad to meet you and walk you through SiteKreator Pro, or just chat with you over the latest web trends.
We are very excited to share the news that SiteKreator's brand-new editing user interface is already live on SiteKreator.com and hosted private labels.
The benefits it brings are many:
no more confusing edit icons
visual indication for all places where content may be added
admin view is now fully identical to end-user view
you now have an option to edit the page title, site title, logo, page image directly from the page
you see what exactly you are going to edit before you start editing it
you see what content you are going to delete before deleting it
content may be moved everywhere, not just up and down
For a brief introduction on editing content with the new interface, please check this quick video. Try out for yourself how easy it is to edit content now and let us know how you find the new UI. Any reports on issues you encounter after the upgrade would be also most appreciated and quickly addressed. Please use the Help button in Admin view of your site to report them to our Support team.
Thanks to all of you for the continued support on making SiteKreator even better!
We hope you will take the chance to experiment with the new interface as much as you want - any changes applied to your stage.sitekreator.com website will not affect your sitekreator.com website in any way.
We'll be awaiting your comments, recommendations and bugs sneaked in at:
And - to wrap up the good news, we want to let you know that all Freemona-based designs on stage.sitekreator.com (Sirius, Atria, Meissa, Kuma, Polaris, Vega) now have a brand-new page image selection interface!
The improved stock photo selection, together with an option to upload a flash page header will make it much easier to build unique, visually attractive websites.
With winter and the holidays just around the corner, SiteKreator kicks off the new season with three exciting new business design lines - Polaris, Kuma and Meissa. The new concepts take their design cues from the typical business web model framework used as a basis for all SiteKreator high-end designs, but push style beyond convention to impress the visitor and grab attention.
Polaris, for the first time in SiteKreator, introduces the usage of a shaped (non-rectangular) header image. The image lies directly over the background and is processed in a way so it can seamlessly work on any background color, making the design very customizable. The image library selection that comes with the design is extraordinary and ready to match any purpose - from sleek corporate illustrations, through everyday objects, to freestyle metaphors.
Polaris comes in 4 vibrant color themes and features the standard business elements - top horizontal main menu panel with sub-navigation, per-page menu in the left area, top and bottom micro navigations, normal and splash page templates, advanced horizontal and vertical sections (tabs, collapsible, accordion).
Kuma combines business function and modern style in a blend of web 2.0 aesthetics. Each element of the design - from the logo to the navigation panels - is placed within its own rectangular-shaped container, making the design background fully independent and easy to change to any color or pattern.
Kuma features a left-side main navigation panel with sub-menus, horizontal per-page menu, top and bottom micro menus, advanced sections. The design is currently available in 3 color themes with many options for customization.
Meissa redefines corporate web appearance by bringing together hi-tech simplicity and a lavish visual impact. The design features pure and elegant style of the layout combined with a wide panoramic image which gradually sinks behind the content area below and reinforces brand awareness.
Like Polaris and Kuma, Meissa has all the business-class design extras built in, including multiple navigation panels, sub-navigation, flexible layout through different types of sections, full re-branding capabilities and more. This last addition to SiteKreator's winter 2009 design collection is still in production with estimated time of arrival around November 18th.
Polaris, Kuma and Meissa are part of SiteKreator's Business and Power packages and may be enabled on demand for customers using the old design interface or resellers willing to utilize them for specific accounts. If you are unsure how to switch to the new designs, you can contact us from the button in Admin view of your site.
We'd love to hear from you on how you like the new designs! We'd never have gotten here without the active feedback from our community.
On 10 October we introduced a number of changes related to content areas behavior in SiteKreator business designs. The updates affect Cocoa, FutureTech and Aurora designs.
With the new system you now have to specifically enable the page areas that expand only when there is content inside - e.g. typically, the right and left side areas. This simplifies the set of edit icons on the page and ensures a smooth transition to the new SiteKreator user interface expected in the next few weeks. Here are details on how to use the new content structuring options for each design:
If you are using Cocoa design: You can now enable the right-side page column from Control Panel icon > Page Properties > Special Features >Display Right Side Column
If you are using FutureTech design: You can now enable the left-side and right-side page columns from Control Panel icon > Page Properties > Special Features > DisplayLeft Navigation Column and Display Right Side Column
If you are using Aurora design: You can enable the left-side column from Control Panel icon > Page Properties > Special Features > DisplayLeft Column. The right-side column is controlled from the Text Columns drop-down. You can use allocation 80% | 20% or 66% | 33%.
Another important improvement introduced recently - all business designs now support advanced section layouts:Collapsible, Animated and Accordion layouts for Vertical sections, Tabbedlayout for Horizontal sections. You can define Minimum height for all sections in a group as well, so that content no longer jumps when you switch between tabs.To access these new options click on the Section Group icon.
Finally, we've also allowed adding any type of content in any area, which makes the Add menu slightly longer, but this will be amended with the new user interface. If you have any questions or comments regarding the recently introduced updates, don't hesitate to drop us a line.
