We've released some great new features and made some general improvements to the way your SiteMaker site works. And since you're reading this you'll have found our new website and blog at www.moonfruitlounge.com.
This release includes:
- Video player - Upload FLV (Flash Video) files to play in your site. Or link to your favourite videos from youtube.com or google video.
- Meta data per page - Add HTML page titles, keywords and descriptions to each page of your site. This helps Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Many experts recommend making them different on each page and making them relevant to the content of each page.
- Alternative content for visitors without Flash - Your site will now display an alternative text only version when visitors without Flash arrive at your site. This conforms to W3C guidelines for accessibility of your content, ensuring that everyone can see some of your content and further improving search engine optimisation.
- PayPal shopping cart improvements- PayPal links will now open in the same window! And for 'Add to cart' and 'View Cart' links, the window will have a 'Continue shopping' button encouraging your customers to return to your site.
- New www.moonfruit.com website - Our site has been overhauled to make it cleaner, quicker and easier to use. We hope you like it!
- www.moonfruitlounge.com - Our new blog will make it easier for us to keep you up to date with what's going on at Moonfruit. Have a read!

I like this! Exciting times ahead and plenty of reading and learning to be done on the new blog and new features.
Moonfruit always has, and always will, ROCK!
Well done to all the people who make sitemaker happen. With out you moonfruit and sitemaker would not be possible i have recommended you to many people i am a qualified web designer but find sitemakers interface easy to work with and are able to build great looking sites.
We all thank you for the paypal updates and of course the Video Player (long waited but finally here lol) Congrats on the new site layout looks great.
Another great work! I have been with Moonfruit from 2000 and have seen it progress year by year. This is simply the best site building tool on the net, the easiest and most plush! It's nice to see the company expanding to alternative language options and I wish them all the very best, there is a demand for such good product.
Great Work,
Love the video player! Love using all the website design tools!!

Oh, you're good, very, very Good. Thank you all @ moonfruit.
Well done you guys, you do some good work! If you can just get RSS feeds I'll never leave!
Can I just say how much I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Moonfruit? The upgrades are SUPERBE.
I have been with Moonfruit since 2002 and I am with iMat...if you all can add RSS feeds and a blog feature like the one featured here, I'll never leave either!!!!
Keep up the GREAT work!
Félicitations - enfin énormément de progrès Bravo! Lunes
I love the look of the new site and waiting impatientely for the french version. Moonfruit is my favourite since their launch in 2000! Thanks! keep going!
As an artist with no knowledge of how to build a website, you've enabled me to create something highly individual and exciting in a reletively short space of time. I cannot thank you enough. The video player is the iceing on the cake and im very happy.
Big respect to everyone behind the scenes who make moonfruit a joy to use. I feel very proud to have my site with you. xxx
I built my site over 7 weeks ago and is still not indexed in google despite submitting site maps etc etc. Yahoo seems fine. How long does it take on average and is google slower than the rest?
I adore the new text only service. i'm not sure if you realised, but all moonfruit sites can now be viewed on the playstation portable system. bless you, bye. XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Glad to hear it. The text only version should be good for mobile browsers too, so it's a great improvement. We're glad you like it.
Is that true? Does that mean our websites are now compatible for mobile wap users?

Your site works on my Windows Media 5 phone using Internet Explorer ;-)
On the Moonfruit homepage, you have example sites on the large 'Welcome' banner (the big blue part). Are these sites real Moonfruit sites? The one I am keen to see is the travel site you have on it 'The Big Adventure'. Does this site really exist?
Thank you moonfruit you make running a club website a whole lot easier . . . :-)
The new site looks good, and i am still being amazed by the ever increasing number of functions. The support for webmaster tools sounds good to, can't wait to see that.
this website has a llot of swearing in it so i wnt to close it its my own site
