The showhomes section will be coming soon to Moonfruit.com, but we wanted to give you a sneak preview of what kinds of things will be on there. So here are some of the sites that we have built.

Image tools - http://imagetoolsshowhome.moonfruit.com

The image tools show home deals with the core image features within SiteMaker which include; crop tools, pop-up galleries and the slide show. This site shows you a range of existing tools and how to change their presentation to meet particular needs, e.g. as a product catalogue, or animated image sequence. Have a look.

Clipart - http://clipartshowhome.moonfruit.com/

There's loads of clipart available to use within SiteMaker, but it's not always easy to see it bit by bit in the File Manager. So here is a complete list of what is available split between graphic elements, image cut-outs, and maps & wallpapers.

Gradient effects - http://gradientseffectsshowhome.moonfruit.com/

Gradient effects are one of those things that can be used to create a vibrant design in your site, but it's not always obvious which ones to use and how to use them. This site gives you some ideas.

Themeable widgets - http://themeablewidgetshowhome.moonfruit.com/

The new range of widgets (chat, forum, form, mail to a friend, comments) are all themeable, which means you can change the button styles and colours quickly and easily. Here are some examples of how they could look.

Video widgets - http://videowidgetshowhome.moonfruit.com/

Video widgets can be customised to look a number of different ways without or without their controls visible. This site gives you a few ideas of how you can change the way they look to fit with your site.

Let us know what you think and enjoy!!
