We have done it again, making building pages even easier with our new drag and drop page editor.

This new simplified editor has taken page building to new levels. Now no need for html or complicated tables to set content, just insert images, text or other elements and position them where you want them.

It is as simple as that!

The new technology is the result of almost a year of r&d working with many varriations of the tools until we had a user friendly system that would let anyone build a complex page.

For years people have struggle with simple concepts such as text next to an image and there was no solution other than educating them as to how it is done. It was frustrating for the customer and equally for support.

But now, we have an easy solution which has accelerated the pages on pageBuzz to new levels. Now pages once thought impossible without a webmaster degree from Harvard or Yale are completely doable.

Simple tools allow inserting images, linking images and text and positioning them where ever it is wanted. Additional tools allow for borders, spacing and background colors.

This new technology has helped our company grow at alarming rates because now anyone can truely build the pages they want to without any help.

If our company is not the biggest small business website host it is certainly the most innovative. We have created more programs and developed more technology than any other company in our market.

If you are not happy with the toos you have at your website host, then take a look at ours. We have more and it is easier to use. Our commitment to ading new technology is what brings programs like the drag and drop page editor to users.

The only way you can fully apreciate it is to try it. Login to our demo today and take a test drive, you won't want to go back to your clunker once you drive in website building luxery.

Businesses know that they need a website in todays market, so why do more than half of small businesses not have one?

It might be becuase the business owner is afraid of technology or just does not have time or is just too cheap to pay for one. There ae loads of reasons that business owners use to justify their lack of involvement in the internet. However, almost every business uses the internet, placing orders, communicating with customers and vendors and doing research. Most have internet based payment gateways for credit cards and rely on the internet to run their business, but they don't have a website.

I can understand when websites are as complicated as as they are. Often requiring extensive software and understanding of FTP, HTML and URLs and that is just to build a static page. If you want a website that does someting useful such as ecommerce, then it is even more complicated.

But here in an age where we have stopped sending peole to space becuase it is just to common there are solutions that work for businesses.

At pageBuzz.com and Bumblebeeworks.com we have spent over a decade building tools that the average person can understand. Tools that work the same way other programs work, so it makes more sense.

With programs like the pageBuzz website builder there is n excuse for not having a business website. At just $20 a month cost should not be a factor either and with 7 day a week personal support, there is no excuse for not being able to do it.

The fact is, more and more businesses go out of business each day becuase they have not creaed a website. At one time it was a luxery but today it is a necessity.

With handheld devices maing up a huge portion of the webs traffic people are on the go and the internet is their source of information for shopping, eating and even socializing. So if you are not part of it, you are handicapping your business.

In the next decade it is unlikely that any business without a website will still be in business, so there really is no time for delay. Choosing to not have a website could be the last bad decision you make.

If you have been in business for a long time and do not have a website you probably were a hard head when pagers came out and then when cell phones hit you didn't think it would help your business and when computers came out you refused to use them becuase it was not needed for your business and so on and on.....

Now you look at the internet as an obstacle to business when it is actually as much a tool as any of the technology that you refused at one point.

The sad part is, if you had embraced the internet yeras ago, it would have helped grow your business. Now it is something that is required just to stay in business. You missed all the benefits the early adopters had and now it is just an expense and a hassle for your business. But still just as important as paying your phone bill a business today cannot survive without a website.

If you have been sitting on the sidelines all this time, get off your ass and get with the program before it is too late.

We finally added help videos to our website builder. The new videos offer a real time tutoral of each of the tools in the website site builder.

The addition of video help has been a great choice. Our users seem to find it much faster to use the short video demontration clips that read through help pages trying to understand terms and processes that are totally foregn to them.

By adding help videos that demonstrate how to build your website users are albe to see a real person using the tools.

I guess we should have though of this months or years ago, but our features development has been the center of attention. Now that we have developed new and simple to use interfaces it was important to show people how to use them.

It is so much easier to watch someone else do it than try to figure it out yourself and now our customers can do just that. Most of the video demonstrations are about 3 minutes which is short enough for even the most impatient business owner or novice webmaster. The videos are place on each page so you don't have to search a help section or leave the page you are working on. Just click the help video icon and whatch the demonstration, then resume working with the tool without losing the work you have done.

The entire process of creating the website help videos took about 1 month but was well worth the hundreds of hours of work.

Having demonstration videos realy takes pagebuzz / bumblebeeworks to a new level and far beyond our competition. If it was easy to use before, it is even easier now. It is like having a personal tutor to show you how to build your website instantly at any time.

We are excited about the new additions and plan to add more videos that will be more general in nature such as SEO tips, how to market websites, how to create specific designs and more general information about building websites.

With our sales agents program in full gear and commissions being paid every week this new help feature is making our expansion much smoother and easier for our support people as well as our customers.

Last year we created a simple ss menu builder. Just set the colors, select a style and you have a custom css style menu.

Well, now we have updated that concept with a WYSIWYG CSS Menu Builder.

The new tool which is part of the Deluxe Web Tool Suite for pageBuzz shows a real time preview of the menu as you make changes. Watch your actual menu change width, colors roll over effects and you move the slidebars and select new colors.

The new menu has many upgrades. The new menu allows for headings above the menu and an option to chnage the text.

Our previous e-commerce menus listed the headings in plain text with the words "Information" and "Shop Online". While the could be changed by modifying the html in the menu file we found very few people capable or interested in making the effort. The new tool lets you easily change the text, the text color, font and size and shows you exactly what it looks like as you make the changes.

The upgraded tools are built on the existing platform and are obvious innovations in the same technology. For our current uses, they get upgrades. But for anyone that has not had the pleasure of using our existing tools these new tools are like discovering gold in your own backyard.

The insight comes from years of working with customers over the phone. Tens of thousands of support hours leaning what people understand and what they want.

We feel that the new tools have hit the nail on the head. You can build complex CSS based websites in minutes and that is nothing to overlook.

For years we had a set number of basic and advanced layouts that users could choose from. However, with the addition of new css tools, shopping cart menus and advanced features it is impssible to keep up with all the options people would like to have.

As part of the Deluxe Web Tool Suite we have added a custom layout builder. This is a realtime layout designer that lets anyone custom design a page layout without knowing anything about html, css or websites in general.

Just click your way to the design you like. Select from menu options, menu location, size, color, border locations and sizes and more.

This unique tool uses slide bars to toggle the border sizes and colors so you can see an actaul prevoew of the page as you make tiny adjustments. It is unique in every way and very simple to understand.

I think we have exceeded everyone's expectations with the new tool suite and the response from customers has been overwhelming.

It has never been easier to build a website than it is today on pageBuzz.com. The tools are more powerful and easier to use. As technology grows so does our hosting platform. What was once an over simplified basic 5 page website builder has grown into one of the most popular website development platforms.

With the addition of the deluxe tools we are now merging the tools for developer and novice users. The tools are so easy to use and so simple to grasp everyoone can be a professional developer and mange their own website.
