Moonfruit's make over is well and truly in full swing and we love it! We've had a huge amount of feedback, most of it extremely positive, though there have also been some complaints about things that we've missed or moved that were more easily available in the old moonfruit.com. We really do value your feedback, as we may under-estimate how important some features are to you, or we may misunderstand how you use them - we're only human after all – so your feedback helps us put things right.

We have been listening to your requests and last Thursday (24th March) we released some updates to the new moonfruit.com that addresses some of these concerns. We also wanted to let you know what else we're looking at.

We had a fair few requests for the 'site counter' to be returned to your site dashboard on moonfruit.com so that you can quickly see how many visitors your site has had since you last looked. This is now back and updates as you flick between your different sites.

Visitor Count

Another piece of feedback was that the forums were different and difficult to find. We'd renamed them to the mysterious 'Share and Learn' to reflect the fact that they were so community driven and a place to share and learn. But due to popular demand, we've changed this back to 'Forums' to make them easier to find and the layout should be more familiar to you all with the old categories that we had in the past. 

You may have also noticed there's a profile photo option with the new forum too which is a sign of things to come. At the moment you're not able to use this, but we'll be extending moonfruit.com in the coming months to add this profile feature to make it an even more personal experience (should you wish it to be!). We'll also be looking at migrating some of the old forum content over to the new forums so that they're a bit more complete.

A few of you were finding it a little bit difficult to navigate your way around the new account functions once you were logged in. So, we've made it quicker and easier for you to use. Here's the breakdown of how this will work:

There will be an 'Account' drop-down in the top right hand corner which will give you quick access to the main account functions - Dashboard (your Moonfruit home page), Billing, Support and Domains, as well as the ability to log-out.

The 'Billing' screen will show you a history of what payments you have made and allow you to renew your package. Remember, if you are an existing customer, you will continue to pay the same prices as before, provided you don't upgrade or downgrade, and the best part is you get all of the extra benefits that come with the new packs (extra disk space and bandwidth)! Downloadable receipts are on the way soon.

A quick link to 'Support' has been added to the Account navigation to make it easier to get help. The FAQs and forums are now combined in a single knowledge base so that it is quicker and easier for you to find answers to your questions. Please search this before submitting a ticket to support as this might save you a lot of time.

We have re-introduced the 'Domain Management' option into the Account navigation. We didn't realise just how many of you were going through moonfruit.com to manage your domains, as it is also available within your sites, so we added this to the drop-down for quick and easy access. For those of you who have been having issues managing your domains via the toolbar in your site, chances are you're still using the old toolbar and therefore need to upgrade this to the new toolbar (in the 'View' menu).

As well as these changes, there are a few further bits of feedback that we will work on in line with your comments. Some customers have requested a multi-site view for the site dashboard, particularly those of you with a high volume of sites (particularly resellers). We appreciate that it might be a little tedious to scroll through all the previews to find the site you'd like to update when you have so many, so this is a feature we'll be working on in a future release.

And finally…

You've all been talking about it! YES! You guessed it... The Blog! Our new blogging feature is very nearly finished and we're pleased to say this will be out in April. We haven't got a solid date as yet. But please keep an eye on the Facebook and Twitter feeds as any news will be announced there - as well as on this blog.

Thank you to everyone who helped us test out the new Moonfruit.com in BETA - As you can see from all of the above changes and additions we’ve made, your feedback and suggestions are very important to us and as long as you continue to tell us your thoughts (no matter how brutal), we can continue to deliver a product you love to use!
