The Squeeze Plugin from Unique Blog Designs

28 Jul

The squeeze theme, a premium WordPress theme, was where the original idea of squeeze pages in WordPress begins.  Recently the guys behind Squeeze Theme decided to create a plug-in called Squeeze Plugin, a plug-in that allows you to create squeeze pages in WordPress.  If you want to read more about squeeze pages or you aren’t sure exactly what a squeeze page is then read an article I wrote about squeeze pages a little while ago.

Now, with this WordPress Plug-in you can create squeeze pages that aren’t specific to the theme you are using on your WordPress website and with this premium WordPress Plug-in.  Squeeze Plug-in works using a “widgetized GUI” that allows you to drag and drop elements into your own squeeze page from videos to forms and everything in between.  So what kind of things can you add into your squeeze page?  Here is a list of things that you can add to your squeeze pages using Squeeze Plug-in…

  • Forms
  • Videos
  • Headlines
  • Text
  • Disclaimers
  • Buttons
  • Lists
  • Testimonials
  • Images

The plug-in itself is a great tool for people looking to construct squeeze pages with a high level of customization simply by dragging and dropping the aspects of your squeeze page you want to use.  Unique Blog Designs is going to be launching this plug-in on August 3, 2010 so be sure to pick it up when it comes out.

OneStepCheckout releases a new version

23 Jul

OneStepCheckout is one of those rare plugins that so aptly meets the needs of ecommerce website owners out there.  I’ve talked about this product before and reviewed it as well and it’s a great add-on to any ecommerce website.  I received an email the other day from Asbjorn Johnsen, the CEO of OneStepCheckout who let me know that come August 1, 2010, OneStepCheckout is going to release a new version of its core product.

The release will include the following functionality when it’s rolled out on August 1, 2010…

  • This version fully supports Magento Enterprise 1.7 and above and Magento Professional with store credit and loyalty points
  • A much easier installation process that does not require any change to templates and just activates from the backend
  • Your customers have the choice of multiple addresses for customers who are logged into their account
  • Administrative setting for displaying pricing with or without taxes
  • Administrative setting to configure whether the email newsletter checkbox should appear “checked” or “unchecked” when a customer is checking out.
  • And some more fixes and tweaks to OneStepCheckout’s functionality
