What's New in ZipWP

Hey everyone,

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.

How to Purchase Add-ons

Upgrading your plan with add-ons is simple:

1. Visit the Add-ons Page.
2. Choose the specific add-ons you need (AI site generations, staging sites, or Blueprints).
3. Complete your purchase and enjoy expanded limits instantly.

Start customizing your plan today!

Hey everyone,

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!

Cheers,

Hey ZipWP community,

We’re excited to announce a couple of major updates at ZipWP. Read about them below!

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.

Try it out today and experience the difference!

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.

Until next time,

Hey everyone,

Today, we’re thrilled to announce some exciting updates that will enhance your experience with ZipWP. Below are the details of this update!

Collect Details of People Who Use Your Blueprints

Remember the Blueprint feature we launched recently? We’ve made it even better! Now you can distribute copies of your WordPress site and collect users’ names and email addresses when they create a copy using your Blueprint link. 

This is very useful. For example if you’re a WordPresss designer who want to attract new leads by offering free website templates, you can collect their contact details and communicate further. Learn more about Blueprints here.

Offer Product Demos with Blueprints

Are selling WordPress products like a theme or a plugin? If yes, so Blueprints can now be used to offer interactive product demos!

Here’s one of the situation where it would highly benefit you:

1. Create a website showcasing your product with all its features.
2. Generate a Blueprint link for your demo site.
3. Add the Blueprint link on your website as a “Try Now” button or link.
4. When users click the link, they’ll enter their details and a copy of your website will be created for them. They’ll receive login credentials via email to access the demo site.

Find all the details on using Blueprints for product demos here.

We’re confident that these updates will streamline your workflow and empower you to create and manage WordPress sites even more effectively.

Hey everyone,

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new feature today: Blueprints!

This feature allows you to share a copy of your WordPress site with anyone using a simple link, which they can further customize it.

For example, if you’re an educator teaching WordPress website design, you can share blueprints of your website with your students using a simple link. This gives them a copy of your website with the same pre-configured setup, saving them the hassle of starting from scratch.

Similarly, Blueprints would be very useful for you if you’re:

• A digital creator, like a YouTuber, who wants to share your work with your followers.
• An agency that’s stuck in the repetitive process of setting up similar sites for multiple clients.
• A web designer who wants to generate income by selling your professional designs.
• WordPress plugin or theme developer who wants to offer an environment to your prospects where you can pre-install your product and allow people to test it.

How does it work? Well, it’s simple.

1. Create a website
2. Create a blueprint from the site
3. Start sharing the blueprint link with anyone you wish

Try it in your ZipWP accounts today.

P.S. This feature is available on all paid plans of ZipWP. If you’re enjoying the free plan, you can upgrade to unlock Blueprints and other premium features.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Hey, ZipWP community,

We have two great pieces of news we want to share with you!

A few weeks ago, the Starter Templates WordPress plugin integrated ZipWP directly into their plugin, allowing you to build your website directly on your WordPress installation using ZipWP. 

If you’re unaware of it, you can learn more about it here. This powerful integration streamlines the website-building process, saving you time and effort.

With the release of Starter Templates 4.1, they’ve now taken it to the next level by adding the option to upload your images while building the website.

You can choose to use only your images, stock images, or a mix of both. Pretty impressive, right?

Click here to try this new feature on a test site!

We’ll soon add the option to upload your images directly to the ZipWP platform. You can follow our progress on our roadmap.

One more piece of exciting news!

ZipWP now offers a white-labeled version for hosting companies. This means that if you’re a hosting company, you can now offer your customers ZipWP with your branding, allowing them to quickly build their sites after signing up on your hosting platform. 

This will help you enhance your customer experience and increase customer retention rates.

Hey ZipWP community!

I’m thrilled to share some fantastic details of the latest ZipWP release. It was sent out today and includes Cloudflare integration for white-labeling domain of your ZipWP organizations.

Along with Cloudflare integration, we have added the ability to adjust email notifications. This feature allows you to prioritize email alerts based on your preferences.

Read the complete details below.

Cloudflare Integration

Prior to this update, it was not possible to white label the domain for your ZipWP organization if you had your domain registered with Cloudflare as Cloudflare doesn’t make it easy to update or change your nameservers.

But now, that has changed. We’ve introduced a very simple way to white-label the domain of your ZipWP organization if you have your domain registered with Cloudflare.

Just generate an API token in your Cloudflare account with the right permissions, add it to your ZipWP account, and all the new websites that you create will use your domain.

Here is an article that explains this process step by step.

Manage Your Email Notifications Effortlessly 🔔 ✅

We’ve also added the option to adjust the email notifications you receive for different events, such as when a site is created, deleted, or expires. You can turn off notifications that are not important to you.

We believe that you will find these updates helpful. Try them out right now, and feel free to reach out to us if you would need any help.

Until next time!
