Search Engine Submission

Now that you have created your website using 350pages you will want people to come along and view it. 85% of all Internet surfers use search engines to find what they're looking for.

The next step is to submit your pages to the search engines. Search engine submission is the most basic part of any Internet marketing plan.

So we have teamed up with BuildTraffic who offer a complete set of over 20 Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tools that enables you to understand and manage the entire search engine marketing process, so you can achieve top rankings for your website.

When you publish any page, you'll get the option to visit Buildtraffic's website to learn more about their products - simply click on the link and the opportunity of promoting your site will be right there for you.

Vertical Stretch

We have just finished adding vertical stretch to all of our templates. You will now find that when you use a floating object and move it to the bottom of the page, the layout will automatically extend to give your desired position for the content on the page. This is especially useful on templates such as Jade where you don't have to cram in your images and paragraphs at the footer - the page will simply extend to cover them all.

All of this is available at no extra cost and is available across our entire template range.

Onyx Olympics Clipart

With the games just a few weeks away now, we've added the olympic graphic clipart that you'll need to transform your site into the full Olympics games website you need. All the athletes and all the highlights are available from our Sports and Games section in the Selection Box. Go ahead, and celebrate Beijing 2008 in style.

New floating objects

Yesterday we rolled out a new change to our floating objects - now you can insert them wherever you like! On the Page Properties bar, simply click on the big plus sign button to bring up the Insert New menu as usual. When you've chosen an object, it will appear near the top of your screen all ready to drag and drop as you wish. You still have all of the functionality over it as you would with an object inserted normally, so if you wish to unfloat it into a position, simply hover over it, click the Properties button and click the checkmark to fix the object.



Remember, you only get this with the Standard account - another reason to upgrade to a truly great service!

Onyx template set

With the Games of the 29th Olympiad upon us, we felt some of you might want to join in the sporting festivities with the new Onyx template set.



A bold and visually heavy motif in both single and dual column layout gives you the room to send a supportive message to whoever you're backing for the Gold or even a world record in addition to broad heading graphics and dynamic gallery presentation. This template would sit right at home with any sport too - perfect if you were thinking of tracking your team's progress in the coming NFL or European soccer seasons.

We'll also be adding some Olympic themed graphics to the library very soon, so keep your eyes open!

New Template Options and Grid Snap

We have recently been focusing on the free format Floating Object features and you now have the option to set the width of your templates, and your objects will snap into place so that they line up perfectly.

Up to now, all templates in the 350pages range have been built on variable width, which adapts itself to any monitor size, but is not always the best option if you've wanted to float objects and freely position them relative to the template layout. The fixed width alternatives allow you to do this without having to worry what it will look like on any other computer, and the best thing of all is that you can change this at any time.

Simply go into the page properties editor whilst you are editing, and you will see a drop down menu titled Page Width towards the bottom. This will have 2 or 3 options, depending on the template (one will always be Variable, and the other one or two will be a fixed style). Simply select the type you want from the menu, and then click save, and your page will switch layout on the fly. It's that simple.



You won't have to do anything to turn Grid Snap on - this feature locks all floating objects into an invisible grid so that positioning objects inline with each other is much easier than it was before. When you drag, the object's edges will snap to the grid points. If you want the same freedom you had before when positioning, you can achieve this by simply holding down Ctrl while dragging to temporarily turn the grid off.

We hope you enjoy these two new additions to 350pages, and remember - much, much more is already on its way.
