I've just uploaded a number of business catalyst step-by-step tutorials covering some of the most common tasks I get asked about. These have been developed by miles design for our clients. They are to be used as a general guide only and are not official tutorials from Business Catalyst. I hope you find them useful and welcome any feedback.

a testimonial worth sharing

rob miles - Friday, April 09, 2010

I recently received a glowing testimonial from one of my new clients that I couldn't help but share with you. It's fantastic to receive such positive feedback and makes it all worthwhile when you do. Thank you Jule for your business and generous comments... it's been a pleasure working with you!

I have been extremely impressed with the work that Rob has completed on my logo, marketing flyer, business cards, document template and PowerPoint presentation template.

Originally I was only going to get Rob to design my logo but I was so impressed with his work that I got him to design my business cards. I continue to be impressed with Rob’s work and hence all my document and marketing design requirements are now being undertaken by Rob.

Rob’s work impresses me on several levels. Firstly he always offers me a number of options to choose from. Those options include traditional, semi traditional and very creative way outside the square designs. Rob also completes all jobs in a very impressive turn around time. Rob’s greatest asset is his creative flair and his ability to come up with designs that meet my business needs.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Rob Miles as a talented graphic designer who knows how to brand a company for success.

BC support central gets new knowledgebase

rob miles - Thursday, April 08, 2010
Business Catalyst knowledgebase

If you login to your BC sites and click on Support Central in the top right corner, you'll notice that it's been redesigned. That's because BC have moved all the content from the Online Business Wiki into a Knowledgebase that now forms the centre of Support Central. For all things BC this is the place to go for answers. The new Knowledgebase brings a bunch of benefits including:

  • Improved Navigation - with articles sorted by topic or by where they belong on the user interface it's much easier to browse what you're looking for
  • Improved Search - don't want to browse? The new search in the Knowledgebase completely knocks the socks off the Online Business Wiki search with a much more complete set of results for any term

As with Sitewalk, the Online Business Wiki will stick around for another 12 weeks while the Knowledgebase is in Beta as BC iron out any small kinks. Additionally the BC Support team will be busy adding new articles to the Knowledgebase and editing current ones to make them easier to understand.

new BC feature: InContext Editing has arrived!

rob miles - Thursday, April 08, 2010

Business Catalyst's newest feature - InContext Editing - is now available in the Administration area and ready for use. It's a next generation tool that gives business owners greater control over their websites. You can now make changes more easily without compromising the overall design of your website. Some of the main benefits include:

  • The ability to set editable regions within any web page to limit scope of change and preserve design quality
  • Content editing is more intuitive - you edit "InContext" on the page rather than having an editor pop-up as was the case with Sitewalk
  • The new InContext content editor is much more robust compared with the Sitewalk text editor

Please note that InContext Editing will be in Beta for the next 12 weeks during which Sitewalk will continue to remain available. When the Beta period ends, Sitewalk will reach end-of-life and will be removed from the Administration area. During the Beta period for InContext Editing BC will continue to make small improvements.
