Sometimes, little changes make a big difference. This update is a great example of that.
You can create multiple organizations in your ZipWP account, each on a different plan. For example, Org A could be on a Business Plan, while Org B might be on a Free Plan.
Previously, users faced challenges when upgrading accounts, as it wasn’t clear which organization was being upgraded from the pricing page.
We’ve simplified the experience!
Now, there’s a dropdown on the pricing page that lets you see and switch between organizations before upgrading.
Little changes, big impact!
By the way, we’re running a Black Friday Sale! Enjoy a flat 30% discount on ZipWP premium plans.
We’ve added a quick setup tour wizard for new users signing up for ZipWP. This feature helps users understand the platform better right after they sign up.
And it’s not just for new users. If you need a refresher anytime, you can access it by clicking the little play icon in your ZipWP dashboard.
Today we’re excited to introduce Add-ons for Business Plan Holders!
These add-ons help you to customize your plan with additional resources, so you can scale your projects without any hurdles or the need of buying a secondary plan.
Why Add-ons?
We know every business is unique, and sometimes you need a little extra to get the job done. That’s where add-ons come in—they provide the flexibility to add specific features to your plan whenever you need them.
For example, let’s say you’re a web design agency managing multiple projects. You’ve reached your daily limit of AI website generations and need to create a new client site quickly. Or perhaps you’ve maxed out your staging sites and need to test updates for a live project.
With add-ons, you can simply purchase the resources you need and keep your projects moving without delay.
All WordPress sites need a great form builder. When building a website with ZipWP, you get a great form builder plugin installed as one of the features.
ZipWP makes fully functional eCommerce websites with simple prompts and we made a simple change to help you identify which designs come with eCommerce functionality.
Before: When creating an eCommerce site, it wasn’t clear which designs included eCommerce functionality.
Now: You’ll see a little green cart icon to distinguish eCommerce templates from regular ones.
This small improvement makes things easier for users like yourself.
We’re super excited to introduce the Branded Site URL 🎉
The Branded Site URL feature in ZipWP lets you customize the URLs of the sites you create.
Instead of random URLs, you can add your custom brand name (e.g., your design agency). The new site you create will then use this brand name in its URL, such as “your-design-agency.zipwp.link”.
Currently, this feature is available for all our users on the Business plan.
After enabling the Branded URL feature from the ZipWP settings, here’s how the created URLs will look:
This can be perfect for agencies and freelancers who want to maintain consistent branding for their clients.
Try this out on your ZipWP sites today and let us know what you think.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!
We received feedback that some site URLs generated by ZipWP contained negative adjectives, which didn’t create a good impression when shared.
Before: A site URL might look like this: broken-corner.zipwp.site or lazy-bistro.zipwp.link. These kinds of words might unintentionally convey the wrong message about the website.
Now: To address this, we’ve refined our AI model to avoid negative words in site URLs and other sections.
If you still notice negative words in URLs, let us know—we’ll be happy to refine this further.
These updates ensure that site URLs reflect positivity and professionalism, making a great impression when shared.
We’ve added an option to redirect users to any URL after they build a site using your Blueprint link.
How Does This Help
Previously, users were redirected to the default WordPress dashboard after generating a site.
Now, you can direct them to any page on the newly created site. For instance, WordPress plugin authors can send users to their product dashboard instead of the WordPress admin panel for a better user experience.
If you have an active Blueprint and would like to use this feature, try it today!
When offering product demos using “Product Demo type” Blueprints, the demo sites are hosted within your ZipWP account.
For example, if you’re on a Business Plan with 20 staging sites, and three people access your Blueprint link to try your product (like a theme or plugin), the generated sites are hosted temporarily as staging sites.
Now, you can set a lifespan for these sites—from as short as 1 hour to as long as 90 days so the sites only stay in your account for the desired time.
Set your Blueprint site lifespan today and manage your staging sites easily!
We’re excited to announce a couple of major updates at ZipWP. Read about them below!
New User Interface!
Have you noticed the fresh new user interface? We’ve been hard at work to enhance the UI, making your experience smoother and more intuitive as you build stunning websites with ZipWP.
The redesigned interface is all about efficiency, so you can navigate and build your website faster.
We’re also thrilled to introduce a powerful new feature: the ability to pass parameters in the URL to create Blueprint sites.
Imagine you’re a WordPress plugin author using ZipWP Blueprints to provide product demos on temporary sites—just like Starter Templates, one of the most popular WordPress plugins.
Additionally, if you want to collect details from the people who access your demo, such as who they are and how they plan to use your product, you can do so through a form and then redirect your prospects to the Blueprint URL.
Now, you have two seamless ways to set this up:
Traditional Method: When visitors fill out the form, they’re directed to a screen where they can enter their name and email to try out your plugin. This method requires the users to add a couple of details twice.
New Method: URL parameters simplify the process even further by allowing you to pass parameters directly in the URL. Here’s how it works:
You can create a form using any form plugin and ask for the necessary details—name, email, and how they intend to use your product. This familiar setup ensures a comfortable user experience.
Once the form is submitted, use the provided details, like the first name and email, to launch the Blueprint site instantly by passing the form entries as parameters in your Blueprint URL, without requiring users to re-enter their information.
This is how it works 👇
This feature is a game-changer!
It not only saves time but also enhances the user experience, making it easier for both you and your users. By the way, this isn’t just for WordPress product authors—anyone using ZipWP Blueprints can benefit!
That’s all for now!
The ZipWP Blueprints feature is available on the ZipWP Pro and Business plans. If you’re not already on one of these plans, upgrade and try this new update today.
