Thanks for letting us know web design. It is a bug that appears to have escaped in our last release - we did a lot of refactoring. Our dev team are looking at it now and we hope to have it fixed shortly. Having it disappear for a short period should not affect your page rankings on Google, but if it does then your rankings should return promptly once the bug is fixed and your sitemap.xml is visible again to the search engine bots.

Hi,

Development on Template duplication is well under way. While you won't be able to fully copy a site - and all data on it - you will be able to use an existing site as a template for a new site. That means that style, background, menu, fonts, colour schemes, menu, page structure, links, images and many objects will be copied across.

It won't be an exact duplication of a site but it will be a very useful addition to anyone who wishes to replicate their creativity from an existing site. And its not too far away.

Thanks - Comdot.

Further to our earlier post (14) we have just realised that our Moonfruit site (The first site we have ever tried to put up!) www.musicforhealth.mfbiz.com is at Google No. 31 out of so many million on a search on the keywords - music for health. On "music for health" it is at No. 9 - just squeezing in the first page! So even without adwords or links, Flash site or not, there must be something right in the SEO area, well done Moonfruit, our own contribution is more by luck than skill, methinks!! Certainly helps with gaining confidence to try another site, - which we are about to do.

With many thanks,

Tony & Louise

Brilliant idea. Don't think I will be adding another site though. Quite enough to do on the ones I have. Just wanted to say Moonfruit is the best website builder there can possibly be!

Congratulations on your success. Discovering Moonfruit has ruined my life tho - I am addicted. Missed 'I'm a Celebrity', 'Strictly Come Dancing', 'X Factor' - too busy moonfruiting. Have been very happy with the service. No complaints apart from too simple to use - must dash - got another site to start. Anon.

MK,

SiteMaker produces Flash websites, it is IMPOSSIBLE to insert HTML within the flash content of the site. Let me break it down: Your SiteMaker site sits within an outer HTML casing and nothing within the Flash can contain anything else but more flash and flash only. So even if Moonfruit wanted to give us "HTML" as we always shout for it, they can't, it's an impossibility. If you really want a feature that you want the HTML for, then post on the forum wishlist what you want and the guys at Moonfruit may make a "Flash" widget out of it.

Congratulations, this is a tremendous achievement even in the context of the mega figures associated with the WWW! I was going to say ignore the whingers, but you have done better than that by giving fair and measured responses. I for one as a 'non techie' have been grateful for your services (including customer support) enabling me to put up my first site. (I have no plans to complete another this month so I am not after 'brownie points' in your draw!!)

Keep up the good work

Great idea- but my site doesn't really have a specific purpose as of yet- it's just there to give random information and just to mess around on. Would it still be entered? (Not that I have any chance of winning, lol.)

Hi Bobbie,

Sorry I missed your question. I'm afraid there is no easy way to copy a site. It's a long story, but basically the way the database was originall designed makes this unreliable, so we don't offer it as a user feature. If you submit a support request asking them to copy a site, we can try this, but we don't guarantee it will work in all cases. I hope that helps,

Joe

Good point Lavendar. No evil copying here! I will often make a spec site for a client for see - and then if they like the concept - I will build them one under their own name. Would be nice if I could just copy the draft. Thats what I was asking. Perhaps there is an easier way than my current process.

I'm sorry, but those come over as a couple of very miserable and bitter postings. Some will always complain I suppose.
Anyway, congrats Moonfruit, and a great idea both to boost site numbers and to give someone an early Christmas present! By the way .... Gone via Support many times, and have no complaints whatsoever ........... so far! Merry Christmas MF!
Bobbie ... Careful now! You could become a prime suspect if a copied site is
detected. :-)

Hi Drew, thanks for your comments. You're quite right that many of the sites are free, and many are not used. There are also those that did pay, run their site for a few years, then move on, or build another one, or two.

The 2,000,000 will be made up of all these groups, and really signifies all the people who have been touched by Moonfruit in one way or another. We do clear out unused sites btw, so we try to make sure even free sites are used a certain amount to reduce the amount of junk we host.

As for our paying customers, this year alone we've added domain name vouchers, google adwords vouchers and increased the disk space limits on accounts, all for free and with no price increases. Plus all the product improvements, which are again free.

We've actually not increased any prices since 2003 and have no plans to do so. So in real terms (as economists like saying ;-) you're paying 2-3% less each year for your site as prices do not rise in line with inflation.

So we like to think that we do continue to offer our paying customers new things and value for money. If we spread the £1000 over all our paying customers, I'm afraid you would be very disappointed with your rebate.

Instead we thought we'd try to make a difference to one person's Xmas. I hope that makes sense. Thanks,

Joe

Unrelated question - is it possible to duplicate a site? I have wanted to do that but didn't know it was possible.

Thanks,

It is good to know you are on course but then again how many of these sites are actually free sites or by paying members ? I wonder if paying members now are just paying for free members and hey have you seen some of the free websites people have and are making some are just abuse and slagging about people they know others have never been finished I reckon if you went through some of these free sites you would be suprised just how many are just pure junk and a waiste of time maybe if you deleted some then you would need a lot more websites to make your silly target !

I am sorry to winge but targets mean nothing to me but a service that offers for all including the paying members who are your main target not free sites and the money your given maybe a discount for your paying members would be more a better way or even to a real charity there my winge is over happy humbug

Thanks Lea. If you have any specific issues that you've had with support please submit them to us and we'll be sure to investigate the cause. Or if it's more general feedback, then please let us know.

I'm afraid that the £1000 we would save by pulling the competition would not be enough to make any real difference to our support processes. We offered it because we wanted to celebrate a milestone in our company's achievements, and share this with our customers.

I'm sorry that our gesture does not resonate with you. Many thanks,

Joe
