Pagelime Reseller Tools give you the ability to earn money by charging your clients for the CMS service. You set your own price, and we handle the billing, collection, settlement, expired cards, and everything else. You can make more money doing what you do best: designing websites.
Here’s how it works:
- You enable the reseller panel in the “manage account” area
- You go to a site’s settings screen and enable “resale for the site” on the new reseller tab
- Set the price and billing interval (monthly/annual)
- Your client is prompted to sign up next time they log-in
- After your client signs up, you can track client payments and your earnings on the reseller panel.
The entire process is white labeled, and we handle notifications for expiring credit-cards, declined payments, etc. automatically.
To learn more about how the system works, read the details on our reseller getting started page. We’ve also put together a Pagelime reseller FAQ page, that covers most of the general business questions we could come up with.
This is just an announcement post, and in the future we’re going to post some more thoughts and suggestions on how to use and resell our service in this manner.
As always, we welcome all feedback, comments, suggestions, and gripes!

Today, we’re releasing a new premium account feature: the Navigation Manager. Here’s how it works in one sentence: you tell PageLime where your navigation file is, you put the css class “cms-navigation” on the element that contains your navigation, and PageLime publishes your updated navigation code into the file. Keep reading for an in-depth tutorial.

This tutorial is a supplement to our larger tutorial “How to Make a Pagelime Site with SiteGrinder 3, you can see the full tutorial here. However, this tutorial is not SiteGrinder specific and can be used by anyone who wants to learn how to manually add editable classes through Pagelime.
Ok, so you’ve just published a really SWEET website from Photoshop using SiteGrinder and you REALLY want to manage it with Pagelime, BUT, you forgot to add the CSS “editable” class tag to a region, in this case, an image, and you want to be able to edit this image using Pagelime. Have no fear, for Pagelime can solve all of your problems (as usual). Let’s take a look at how this can be done in just a couple of steps.

For months folks have been asking when we were going to get our stuff together and start offering Pagelime in multiple languages. We’ll the wait’s over, and as always we tried to raise the bar on internationalization for a web-app: We have developed an interface for you to translate Pagelime into any language or language-culture combination right from your account management dashboard!

Dear PageLime users, we’ve recently looked at our cloud hosting energy bill, and after sifting through our accounting, determined that our main expense is air conditioning. This is unacceptable, and we decided to proactively move our entire hosting operation to a custom server facility to be built here. This move will literally cut our air conditioning costs in HALF, and allow us to offer better long-term service to our customers.
Obviously this move will take some time, so expect a few months worth of down time while we put together the expedition and explore possible approaches to what we determined to be the optimal location for the new facility. We’ve also been advised that this area does not have high speed internet access, but only AOL dial-up. While we don’t expect this to be an issue, we are building a backup cloud infrastructure, as outlined in the image below:
We’re commited to offering the best service on the market, and as such we will continue to find new ways to innovate and improve our web-app with great ideas like these. If anyone’s interested in joining our mountaineering expedition, please leave your contact details in the comments, and we’ll get in touch. Survival rate is very high… but iPhone 3G coverage is poor.
Happy April 1st.

A few months ago we rolled out repeating regions, and ever since, we’ve had two types of bubbles: edit bubbles and repeat bubbles. This was fine for the time, as these two were separate features. Over time, however, most people are starting to use these in conjunction, so we decided to consolidate the bubbles and use this as an opportunity to redesign them.
As you can see from the picture attached to the post, the new bubbles will range from the super simple edit bubble, to the full blown combination repeat/edit bubble. The repeat controls do not show until you mouse over the little blue arrow that suggests there are more options on this bubble than just editing.
The new bubbles will be black with a grey outline and a glass effect. This style will provide the best visibility on both black and white pages while remaining color agnostic (we love the lime green edit bubbles, but sometimes it just interferes with a page design).
On a final note, this style will allow us to add more features to the bubbles as we build them. For example, we’re planning drop-in modules like image galleries, calendars etc for more advanced users. The bubble design will be flexible to accommodate sites ranging from the simplest ones with just a few editable areas, to more interactive ones with additional modules.
As always, let us know what your thoughts are in the comments or in the forum.

Whenever you open a page, or navigate to a page in the PageLime editor screen, it gets automatically added to the sitemap. A lot of folks never even use the sitemap, but out of those that do, a lot of folks pointed out that navigating to each page takes a bit if you want to populate the whole sitemap at one time.
Today we released a simple screen where you can select files from your FTP server to get added to the sitemap quickly. Administrators can see the new button: “Add existing files to the sitemap” in the right column on the sitemap screen.
As always - feedback is welcome, including suggestions and gripes :). Shoot us a note with your thoughts or add a comment below.

Most of you lime-loving PageLime enthusiasts were greeted by two things when you signed up for an account: a personal message from Tom, and the built-in demo site on your brand new PageLime account - itislimetime.com.
The site’s always been cheesy, had poor grammar / spelling, and terrible stock photos (the lime puppy? thanks Tom). Well it’s time we say goodbye and welcome our new site, presented as a side scrolling story of how PageLime began, full with the Lime King, the Lemon uprising, the Lime resistance, and much more!
This story is only the tip of the iceberg. In future editions we will reveal all kinds of shocking twists! Is the Lemon Lord actually Lime King’s brother? What other nefarious allies have the Lemons enlisted to subvert the resistance? Find out the answers to these and more in the next edition coming soon!
Enjoy.
