Control Panel enhancements

goMobi has expanded the overall width of the Control Panel which provides more room to add additional features and useful options.

A ‘view site’ option has been included in the header which will open the mobile site in a new browser window and the language options are now contained in a drop down list [with the addition of British English].

goMobi has added a new Tools tab between the Features and Analytics tabs which contains marketing features and functions to help promote and drive traffic to the site. Also new is some additional design features such as ‘Site footer’ and an ‘Advanced’ feature where you can apply background images to your site.

Last but not least, improvements were made to the help page and added ‘how to’ video content to help explain some of the feature functionality.

Additional site templates

Creating goMobi sites has never been easier. They’ve added over 32 new ‘click and go’ templates to the Templates feature in the design area of the Control Panel. Just click on the thumbnail template for a larger view and then apply the one you want to your site.

Changes to colours, images and the layout of each template are automatically applied to the site. You can also mix and match different template headers and body styles and icon sets to create custom templates and you can customize the colors in the Site Colors feature.

Multiple click to call features

Extend your reach by adding multiple click to call features to your mobile site and display each one as a separate feature with custom name, custom icon and custom position. Additional options include defining which number to use as your primary number to display in the header and footer of your site.

Background Images

You can now apply a background image to your site. You decide if you want to apply it to all of the pages of your site or just the home page, where you want the content to start on your page and if you want to display the background image on tablet devices [animated images supported]

EXPECTED IMPACT: Less than 30 second loss of network connectivity

This work will significantly expand our external connectivity and internal backhaul network using multiple 10Gbps (Gigabit per second) links as well as laying groundwork for the deployment of IPv6 services. Moving to a 10Gbps core network ensures we continue meet and exceed the demands of the latest high-bandwidth applications and broadband services.

During the above period will be undertaking maintenance to implement physical topology changes in preparation for further planned network upgrade work. As part of this work there will be a very short outage for each customer service, anticipated to be less than 30 seconds.

We also promised one lucky customer would win FREE web hosting for a year and we’re pleased to announce that the winner is Jackie Rowberry and her website www.animaldramatics.co.uk - congratulations Jackie and thanks everyone for your valuable feedback.
