New Website Enhancements and Design Options

We have more Website Enhancements and Design Options to share with you this week in our Summer Rollout of Tools and Upgrades.

Splash Page for your Front Page. You now have an optional Splash Page, that beautiful image or few lines of text that pops up first on a website before the rest of it loads. They're making a comeback, and today's splash page doesn't mess up your SEO. So find a gorgeous, high resolution photo and make a great first impression.
Icons Next to Header Titles on Front Page. Easily place an icon next to your Header Titles on your Front Page. Check out Johnson Corners Wesleyan Church to see this in action.
Color Control on Text Background of Front Page. More color control options are available on your Front Page, via the CSS section under Website Editor.

Watch this space next week for a major tool rollout announcement!
