Can you forward the following Suggestions onto the Development team please? Thanks.


1- Ability to open up HTML templates in sitespinner. Currently we can only open the .IMS template files.
This would be a great feature because if we purchased a template from the internet.it will be in HTML format,and there is currently no way of importing HTML templates into sitespinner.

Since sitespinner only has a handful of templates included in it,this would solve the problem of sitespinner having very little templates. Other web design tools have hundreds and some thosands of templates.

Or sitespinner could Benefit directly by making at least 10 new professional looking templates per month, and selling the templates on your website. I wouldn't mind paying $30 to buy a template. You should make a few templates that are Ecommerce templates,that include a shopping cart etc.


2- There should be an option to create a web based login page for each website we create. So users who we create the websites for can login to their website online and edit it themselves using a WYSIWUG editor. There are other web design programs that are doing this,and things like wordpress blogs or Joomla CMS sites all have online web based login pages with wysiwug editors. If this means needing to create a MYSQL database,then that's fine.


3-Have an option where we can integrate open source Forum software into our website. Like we could have a website,then have a "forum" button and it takes us to the forum.PHPBB is an open source forum. We can have new forum posts displaying on the main page etc.


4- Flash format support is very important and alot of new websites are built using Flash,so the ability to at least Edit flash templates we buy from the internet would be a great feature.


Can you please pass on my suggestions to the development team please?

Thanks

Hi daabomb2002,

Thanks for the suggestions. Number 1 is high on our list - that is, the ability to open an existing HTML page. We plan on adding more Templates over time. In the meantime you can purchase SiteSpinner ready templates now - see the post here.

Number 2 is something we are looking into also.

As for number 3, keep in mind that you can add code to your page now using the Code Editor. There are two many open-source tools to integrate them all, but we are looking into the ability to add objects that users create.

Lastly, item 4. The ability to open and edit Flash files might best be served by a tool specifically designed for that task. However, we never rule anything out Smile


- Derry
