This upgrade is free to all DotGO users and over the coming weeks your site will automatically be switched to our new ‘framework’.
Take advantage of our great new framework and software. Build your business website with DotGO's new website builder software
Some sites will transfer across automatically, other more complex sites may need some help. If you don’t hear from us then your site will automatically be upgraded by the end of June.
Once your site is upgraded your website will magically transform to fit the screen of the device your visitor is using. On mobile phones and tablets held vertically your site will behave like an 'App' with all your content scaled and positioned automatically This is particularly important, as by the end of 2014 it is predicted that the Internet will be accessed more on mobile devices then it will be on traditional PC’s and Mac’s.
Additionally your contact us page will include a telephone number link and access to a map when viewed on a mobile phone. This will make it easier than ever for clients to get in touch.
With video content booming we’ve made it even easier to add video to your website. Simply click where you want the video to appear. Click our new YouTube button and search for your video or enter the direct link. You can then adjust the size of the video and hey presto it’s live on your website.
Your contact us page has also had a makeover. With an embedded form and new modern buttons we are certain you’ll like the improvements to this vitally important page.
Modern, multi-column layouts
Once your site has been migrated, You will be able to use our new ‘Columns’ button to create the layout of your choice. Columns are much easier to use and unlike tables will adjust automatically to the size of the users device. Columns work on a row by row basis giving you an infinite number of page layout options.
You’ve always been able to add extra functionality to your website by inserting code onto your pages. We’ve now made this even easier to do. Just click where you would like the functionality to appear on your website, click the insert code button within the editor and paste the code into the box provided. Once saved the extra functionality will be added exactly where you need it.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes too. We are making a significant investment and migrating your site to 'The Cloud'. The days of your website sitting on a single computer in a 'dusty' datacentre is nearly over. Cloud hosting will be far quicker and more reliable than traditional hosting has ever been. By the end of the year your site will exist in multiple physical locations. Should there ever be a problem in one location, your visitors will instantly be routed to an alternative location while we resolve any problems. No more downtime, faster load times and a much more professional service than any of our competitors.
