Upload images from the editor

You can now insert your images directly onto your webpages
without having to upload them first into your File Manager.

Look for the upload button in the Selection box-my files,
when you are choosing to insert/replace an image.

Button Bar Update

In response to our users wishes, we've made some usability changes to the way the button bar works.

Hovering over any part of the button bar will now select to edit the entire bar. If you wish to change the style of any individual button, simply click on the edit icon for that button. As a shortcut from within the page editor, hold down the Ctrl on your keyboard and click on the required button to enter its individual editor. Editing your navigation buttons is now even more of a snap.

Quicker Copy Properties

When you select the Copy Properties, all items are automatically selected and previously you needed to deselect all those not required. Now it's even quicker as you can 'deselect' all items and only select those required. This is useful, for example, if you just want to copy the button bar onto your page or you want to copy the Title, keywords and description onto each page to assist the search engines to find you.

New Instant Website Builder

You can now create your entire website in seconds! And it only takes 3 simple steps!

1. Choose your template design
2. Enter the names for your webpages
3. Choose the layout for each of your pages

Then click the 'Create my site' button and 350pages will automatically create your website, with all the pages linked and your title at the top of each page.

When your website is created you will be able to customise each page with your own content and even drag 'n drop objects to change the layout. It's just another good reason to subscribe to the full version 350pages.

Check out this video to see how easy it is.

New Domain Names

Two new Domain Names for you to register with 350pages - .info and .name. Now you can have your own personal website and email, eg www.johnsmith.name and me@johnsmith.name.

It's only $40 / £20.50 / €30.65 (plus VAT for Europe) (350pages standard users get a 25% discount)

Extra Large Thumbnail Images

In response to your requests we have now added an extra large thumbnail image in the size as shown here on the right.

Clicking on a thumbnail image will open up a larger image, which will automatically be in a slideshow if there are more than one thumbnail on your webpage.

You can now show off your high quality images, either individually or in your galleries.

Six New Free-Format Templates

Everest, Elbrus, Helvellyan, Mendip, Malvern, Quantock

Let these great mountains be an inspiration for your next free format web page design. Within the vast open space position your text, graphics, images and other content exactly where you want it.

With so many options in the free format range, and the ease of website creation that 350pages brings you, the only problem you'll have is deciding which one to use.

Everest raises your content to the highest echelons with a bright and breezy header and background. Elbrus gives you convention and class.

Helvellyan will capture the essence of your site in its light and short single page style. Both Mendip and Malvern are capable of giving your content a warm feel, accompanied with varied colours and button bar.

Last in this release, but certainly not the last in production, Quantock delivers something different for those who want an even design with an edgy feel.

New Page Control Menu Bar

When editing a page, it's now even easier to access the most important options with the new page control editor.

Previously as a moveable object bar, we have now moved the controls to the top of the page so it’s quicker to access and it doesn’t obscure any of the objects that you want to edit.

The easy to access page controls are insert, page properties, undo, redo, preview, save and the QuickSwitch to start editing another page.

Page Plugins

Now you can develop your website even further with our newly released page plugins, available only to users of the full 350pages. Page Plugins are often referred to as gadgets or widgets that add extra functions onto your webpage. They have been developed by third parties and can easily be inserted into your webpage from within the 350pages editor. There is a wide range from a simple world clock, weather, news or currency converter to a more advanced poll or guestbook. We've researched for the best to save you time hunting around the web.

Google Gadgets, Google Maps, Picasa, Flickr, YouTube videos and Weatherpixie are all available to add to your pages from the insert menu, and we'll be introducing more over the coming months. If you have a special request then let us know and we will try to incorporate your wishlist! To see the Page Plugins in action see this example website.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics helps you find out what keywords attract your most desirable prospects, what advertising copy pulled the most responses, and what landing pages and content make the most money for you. You can learn more about Google Analytics at http://www.google.com/analytics/

If you have a Google Analytics account, you can now use it to automatically track all the pages you create with 350pages. To use Google Analytics on all your pages, head to the My Account option and click on the My Settings tab, and then just copy your Google Analytics code, obtained from your Google Analytics account, into the box. It's as simple as that!
