Pagelime Reseller Tools - Earn recurring revenue by charging CMS clients using our billing system

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

pagelime-reseller-tools3

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!

Manage Navigation with PageLime: Navigation Manager

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

premium-feature-blog-header

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.

New Feature: Allow clients to update SEO fields using PageLime

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

This is another quick feature post, this time, about editing SEO fields (title, keywords, description) on pages with PageLime. We’ve allowed account administrators to update page SEO fields and metadata for some time, but we were undecided on how to lay out the feature for end users. The general feedback has been split into two groups: the group that thought their clients should only have access to change the page title, and the group that thought all metadata should be exposed so that it can be managed by all PageLime users.

Our compromise is a new SEO feature that can be turned on from the Site Features screen for each site. The feature will allow PageLime users to update a page’s title, keywords, and description meta tags. Also, the SEO fields work seamlessly with Content History (if you have it enabled on a site).

To give the SEO feature a test drive, turn it on for a site as shown below:

pagelime-site-features-seo

Once the feature is enabled, a new button will appear on the Page Editor toolbar on the right:

pagelime-page-editor-button-seo

The SEO Button

Clicking this button will bring up a overlay that allows you to update the three standard SEO fields: Page Title, Description, and Keywords. You will also notice a little preview of what a page result might look like in Google.

pagelime-page-editor-seo-popup

Ultimately, we don’t feel that this is our last play in SEO management for a site or that the user experience for the feature is 100% polished. This is just a quick release that people have been asking for, that takes care of a real user need. Next, we’ll focus on improving the user experience of the SEO form, and perhaps adding other fun SEO tools (such as keyword suggestions).

Feedback is welcome!

How to limit the number of icons/tools on the PageLime WYSIWYG editor

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

So a lot of folks have asked us to provide some way of limiting the number of icons (tools) available in the WYSIWYG editor that pops up when you click on a green bubble in PageLime.

We’ve recently released two features that cover this request:

  1. You can append “-text” to your cms-editable CSS class (for example: “cms-editable-text” or “tomiscool-text“), to restrict the number of icons/tools available for that area.
  2. You can configure what tools are available for HTML vs. Text areas in a new tab in the settings for each site.

New Labs Feature: Auto Publish Server Side Includes

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

New feature!? Quick - to the Batmoblog!

We just released a feature that makes PageLime automatically detect and publish include files (PHP and ASP.NET supported right now). Essentially, if you include a header or navigation file like so:

<?php include(’header.php’); ?>

PageLime will automatically parse the path, find the file, and publish any editable regions inside.

New Labs Feature: Google Analytics Integration

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Holy smokes Batman! You can now add a Google Analytics dashboard to your sites!

pagelime_12496127690221

So, as the screenshot above would suggest, we just released a new feature into the wild: PageLime CMS Google Analytics Integration. This is the first of many experimental (labs) features, that is now available. To enable Google Analytics Integration, go to the Features area for a particular site, and click on the button next to Google Analytics on the right:

Site Features: Labs

Once enabled, the Google Analytics feature allows you to connect your site to a Google Analytics account, and thus offer users an analytics dashboard right on their home screen. When you enable the feature, on the site home screen Administrators will get a note with further instructions on how to complete the integration (the integration is a 2 step process that takes about 3 minutes).

  1. Make sure to add analytics@pagelime.com as an authorized user to the Google Analytics profile associated with this site.
  2. If you are still not able to pull your analytics up, make sure to update the analytics tab on your site settings with the correct Analytics Profile ID

Once you’re up and running, your users will see the analytics dashboard, which includes the following:

  1. An Analytics Summary of data over the past 30 days for Visits, Visitors, Average Time on Site, and the Bounce Rate. Each with a rate indicating the percent change since last month.
  2. A Site Visits chart with interactive data points. (NO flash required!)
  3. A Site Visits by State (US only for now) heatmap breakdown of visits.

The dashboard appears right below the site actions, and even on a 1024×768 resolution the Analytics Summary is still visible above the fold:
