Welcome to our October update. Catch up on all the latest improvements, exciting new features, and what’s in the pipeline this month. Be sure to explore our latest blog posts and upcoming social media events.
New this month
You can bookmark our System Update page for regular updates. Here is a summary of what’s new this month:
New holding page: The holding page now has its own dedicated section in our Website Editor. This means things like your logo, colours, and social media links can be set up independently, without being affected when your designer starts building the full site.
Webfactory Knowledge Base: We’re excited to announce the beta launch of our Knowledge Base! It’s the perfect solution for organising support articles, staff handbooks, and training guides. Get started today with a 14-day free trial on the Knowledge Base website and receive an early adopter discount.
Webfactory Site Rank: We’re excited to announce the beta launch of Site Rank, the latest addition to the Webfactory suite! This tool makes it refreshingly simple to monitor your website’s SEO performance. Track keyword rankings, assess the effectiveness of your SEO strategies over time, and gain accurate localised insights - all from one sleek dashboard. You can start a free trial on the Site Rank website.
