Update your site easily
A password-protected admin section lets you update the news or appearances section of your site from any web browser. Fill in a simple form (Figure 1) with the relevant information, and as soon as you hit "submit," the new item appears on your web page (Figure 2). After adding a new item, select "Update RSS Feed" (indicated by the red arrow in Figure 1) to publish the new information to the home pages of your RSS subscribers (Figure 3).

Send HTML formatted announcements
To send email to all your list subscribers, enter the email subject and text in the online form (Figure 4). Click "send test" to receive a copy of the email as it will appear. When you are happy with the result, click "SEND ANNOUNCEMENT" to send the email to everyone on your list. The email will have the look and feel of your web site (Figure 5).

Sell your wares directly from your site
Product detail pages feature an "add to cart" button; all pages have a link to the shopping cart page (Figure 6). When the user is ready to check out, the shopping cart page (Figure 7) displays item quantities and totals, and the "checkout" button takes the user directly to the PayPal payment screen.

Display dozens or hundreds of unique items easily with dynamic browsing
A dynamic browse template displays items from a database, automatically adding additional pages as necessary. It can also automatically update when items are sold (Figure 8). A dynamic product template displays specific details for each item along with a full-size image. Alternate views can be displayed when available. In this template (Figure 9), clicking on the small alternate image (indicated by the red arrow) swaps the view presented in the main image (blue arrow). Clicking on the main image opens a large, high resolution version of the selected view in a new window. (Visit www.whimsywares.com to see the full features in action.)
