New Templates: Business Group - Heath Huffman

Yes, you can hide titles if you want and slideshow up to 5 images in the header. As most of our users know nothing about Photoshop or any other photo/image editor, I expect most of them will keep the titles. But, that being said, if you do want to create your own header banner with the text in it, you do have that option...

This is much better. However I feel most businesses will not want the title fonts and would prefer to upload a custom banner, preferably one that rotates. Can this be done with the new template?

Congrats, Heath! Your hard work has finally paid off. My website has never looked better. I've got a ways to go as far as content is concerned but I'm proud to point my customers to my site thanks to doodlekit. I had a blast with the beta testing and found very few issues. Looking forward to some comprehensive documentation on all he features but I'm sure that will come in time. A job well done.

To all new graduate with a little brain for something...Never ever work for a large company for more then 5 years...in those five years learn everything you can about large company...network and make sure to build your network with vendors and industry on the back of the company...save cash and start your own business doing the complete opposite of what you saw in the company.... This is the recipe for a fun and healthy life .

They will be permanent. There will be no new upgrades for the actual release. All that will consist of is just opening up the new tools to everyone. They are already out there and being used on a few sites now - including Doodlekit.com.

Heath:

What happens to the changes that beta testers make to their websites when the new system goes live? Will the modifications stay in effect or will they need to be redone?

Hi!
I saw above it showed that your upgrades were supposed to be taking place tonight but on Facebook it showed last night so I apologize for my confusion.

In any case, the problems started about 24 hours or so ago.
Thanks!

Hello Doodlekit team!

We have not been receiving emails for AutismEmpowerment.org since your upgrade last night.

Go Daddy is where we initially registered our domain and they are pointing correctly to you. Our emails are redirected through Gmail / Google Apps and had been working fine for the past year.

It was working until sometime last night but we have not been able to receive any email today. It is all bouncing back and we're trying to accept applications for an upcoming event as well as urgent questions. Can you please help? We are a paid nonprofit Business level account. Thanks!

Here is what we get when we run a check through Google Apps:

Top 10 Reasons Why Corporate IT Sucks - kirby

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 00:14:57 -0600

I created a company some time ago that provides IT training services to many companies throughout the US. I am getting to the point where I'm just tired of the whole training thing not because I do not like education but because of the corporate politics. That's right! You don't have to be a corporate citizen to be affected by the noise. Just dealing with these institutions and their insane policies is enough to make anyone shake their heads. Have you ever tried to close a deal, to enlighten a class of 20 students, to appease management and employee alike only to be told that you pissed someone off by the way you presented the training materials? It's a pain. Although I sometimes enjoy the pay, I enjoy the close of the week even more. The alternative of being an employee is worse than working as a consultant.

Hey Jonas,

Doodlekit.com is made with a template I created using our design tools. Anyone could create the same template if they wanted to. Generally, I add all templates I create to the public library so that everyone else can use them. This template I did not (for obvious reasons). I made it only for Doodlekit.com :).

The new design tools coming are very powerful. You can just about make anything you want...

Love the new look! You mention that you were using a "custom" format. Does that mean that you used the existing tools in the new release to come up with a unique look or does that mean that we would need to have Doodlekit create a "custom" website for us if we wanted something in this style?

Thanks Jonas :). I think once everyone see the tools they will be completely floored as well - you will be able to change just about every aspect of your templates that you want to. Everything from fonts, colors, borders, shadows, transparencies, gradient colors, etc. All of the templates that we have so far are made using the tools that everyone else will have access to.
