Frontpage: Demo and Inspiration sites

2 new sites are now accessible through the SimpleDifferent homepage.

These are the Demo and Inspiration. These will help users discover our services.

 

The Demo offers you the opportunity to test the main functions of the editor with a website whose content explains everything about the SimpleDifferent service. The Inspiration is a list of sites published by the SiteMasters who have come before you. These are organized into categories and will give you examples of the type of site you can build with SimpleDifferent. 


These two sites have been specially designed and built for people who are eager to learn about how to use SimpleDifferent.

Improvement: Starter site: The magic cursor goes bye-bye

Each Starter site is published for free on the web for a period of 21 days. Without renewal, the site will be unpublished but will remain available in the editor. All you will need to do to keep your Starter site active on the web is to click the “Publish Site” button in your editor.


The simplification of the republishing process leads to another simplification: the purchase and extension of Pro sites has been thoroughly renovated. It is accessible under the “Account preferences” section in the “Pay for your Pro sites” tab. Check it out!

Discovery: Invitation request: how to respond

  • Have you received an invitation request from a user either directly in your mail or through the Contact page of one of your SimpleDifferent websites?
  • To respond to this request, open the “Account Preferences” in the top right corner of the editor, and click the tab “Create an invitation”.
  • Fill out the form with the name or pseudonym of the person who has requested a SimpleDifferent account as well as the email address of the user who requested the invite.
  • Specify what language the invitation is to be written in and then click "Send me the mail".
  • The invitation will be sent to you. (If you cannot find it in your mailbox, check that it has not been moved to your spam box.)
  • Forward the invitation to the user that requested it. You can edit the mail if you wish, but remember to leave the custom link unmodified.
  • Once the user has received the email, he or she will be able to click on the custom link and create their own account... and become a new SiteMaster!

At home: New Pro themes

The Theme Designer will soon allow you to customize in detail the appearance of Pro sites. SiteMasters in a hurry will benefit from the Theme selector in which 27 new themes have been added.
