We've added some major new features and can't wait to show you. Thanks to our users' input, we are well on the way to building a great system for you to build websites together. Here's a run-down on these new features.

New Toolbar
Probably the most obvious change is the new toolbar. It includes a couple of key features. First, it will now contain a functional web address showing your visitors the full web address of the page they are on within your site. While the toolbar still contains the same basic functions (Register, Sign In, Dashboard, Website Manager, Edit Page, Add Page and Invite People) you will also notice a new link to the Message Center (more on that later).

Adding Elements/Widgets to your page
You will now be able to create new editable areas within your page. This will allow you to add new content areas in various locations in relation to the existing elements. As we release new features, functionality and widgets into LoudClick, you will be able to integrate them into your page through this new architecture. For now, we offer content, indexer and navigation menu options with more to follow. Click here for more information.

Email Forms
You can now insert an e-mail form into your webpages so your visitors can send you an email containing information you determine. We expect typical uses for these forms to be things like Contact Us, Surveys or other information you want to receive from your users. Look for this on the Content Editor - it's the icon on top menu - furthest to the right.

Message Center
Maybe the most significant new feature is the Message Center. The Message Center will allow both you and people who register on your website a safe way to communicate. The Message Center provides the ability to send messages to any or all of the people who have registered or have been invited to your site. Personal privacy is increased because the users will not have to worry about exposing their e-mail address to spam sources (as with non-LoudClick websites). It also allows you to invite or add people to your website for secure viewing, editing or receiving communications. This allows you to better market your site and communicate with the community of people that have an interest in your website. Click here for more information

We hope these improvements make your websites more enjoyable and successful. Loudclick.net will continue to add improvements to the system and we rely on feedback from you to make it the best way to build websites together.

Please check out LCU for more information on how to use these new features. We will be continually updating information and adding tutorials. In the mean-time don't hesitate to click the support button located in the upper-right of most pages in the system. We look forward to helping you in any way we can.

Thank you for using LoudClick.net to build websites together.
