We have accumulated many upgrades to the Website Forge system. Many are mentioned informally in the "Website Forge Users Group" on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/groups/websiteforge/

Here is an official list:

Flash for IOS - Now you can provide an alternative HTML (Image, Video, Etc) for a flash frame. Since IOS (Apple mobile devices) do not play flash. You can automatically swap it for something else when viewed by these devices.

Multiple Coupons - Now you can optionally DISABLE the ability for a customer to redeem more than one coupon code per order. There is a checkbox that you can use to prevent multiple coupon codes.

Trace Forms - Look at your "Submitted Data" in your Feedback Forms area. You can now look and see how a visitor found your form. Including the search term used to land there. Look for "View Visitor Path". I will also have this info added to the emailed copy of the form submission soon.

Trace Orders - View your order list and look for "View Visitor Path" on each order. You can see how the customer found your web site and the full path before checking out.

Login "Tab Button" behavior - We changed the login box so that when you click the "TAB" key. It jumps to the next appropriate field.

Tracking Abandoned Carts - Some of you already know. You can now view all abandonded carts in your "Visitor Tracking" area. Just use the drop down to choose "Abandoned Carts".

"Direct FTP access to Template" - I'm a little nervous to announce this one. For those who would like to develop their own templates. Or modify their own templates. We CAN provide direct FTP access to your TEMPLATE. You must, of course, know how to code HTML and follow our "Template Specification" guideline. Also any fixes or restores needed are at your own risk and cost. That being said. HTML savvy people can try this advanced access to the Website Forge system.

"Mobile Version" - Just a reminder that we can enable a "MOBILE FRIENDLY" version of your website with just one click. Contact support to test it out. 90% of the time - this automatic conversion works perfectly without changes. You can of course modify the mobile view if you wish using the normal tools.

Sitemap Upgrades - There are always many google sitemaps upgrades going on. Recently we made some modifications to help Bing grab your sitemaps file. This "Google Sitemap" file is now really a universal file for all SE's.
