CCH Site Builder :: Member Update

Exciting new features now available with Site Builder

CCH Site Builder 2.8 release update — Available Now

New Wizard Screen: Edit Pages
Editing your firm profile, page headers, SEO configurations and more is now possible from the same Site Builder Wizard screen.  The new Edit Pages screen allows users quickly and efficiently to perform edits on each page of their site by consolidating the Page Headers and SEO Configuration screens within the Site Builder Wizard.

Additionally, Edit Pages allows users to alter the page name, file name and title as it appears in the browser title bar for every page on your site.
The new easy-to-use interface displays only two columns.  The "Pages" column lists every page and sub-page on your site.  The "Page Content" column provides fields that each of your pages have in common (for example, Page Name or Page Header).  To maneuver around your site, simply click the page name, make edits to the page and save your changes.
Edit Pages can be found in the Site Builder Wizard by selecting Site Design > Edit Pages.

eNewsletters:  Originating Email Addresses
In order to relate to your eNewsletter subscribers that your monthly newsletters are in fact from you, messages are now sent from CCH on behalf of your firm. In the previous version of eNewsletters, mail sent by the system was shown to be from CCH when it was received.  Based on customer feedback, we have improved the system by generating emails on behalf of the firm administrator.  Now, whenever eNewsletters are sent to your clients, your firm administrator email address will be displayed in the "From" field.

Email obfuscation in Contact Us page
Now Site Builder takes greater action to protect your email address from people and organizations that send unsolicited bulk email.  Email addresses displayed freely on the Internet are targets for computer programs called "spambots" that search the web for email addresses.  By obfuscating (or obscuring) email addresses on your Contact Us page, Site Builder doesn't simply place your email address on the page; rather it uses advanced web development methods to generate your email address "on the fly" which makes it much more difficult for spambots to detect.

Repositioned "Publish" Button
To make the process of publishing your site easier, we have added a Publish button to the bottom of every page in the Site Builder Wizard.  The new button appears alongside the "Back," "Preview," and "Next" buttons to provide for ready access.  The original method of publishing your website has not been removed, however.  If you are used to clicking, "Site Design > Publish Site," you are still able to do so.

Published Sites: More top level domains
We have opened up the hosting servers for more top level domains including the new .cpa.pro domains and allowing these domains to use a www prefix (sub, sub domain)

New SEO Features: www redirect and sitemap.xml
To help our clients with SEO and the challenges it presents we have added self-publishing sitemaps and htaccess redirects for base domains to www.
