TODO list

I'm currently working on new functionalities, part of the following TODO list.

• Banner uploader
• Banner image library
• Extended title font choice
• Logo uploader
• CMS / hosting features

Banner uploader/library will be available by the end of this month. Later I will introduce some basic content management features and you will be able to create and host a complete website, built with doTemplate. So please come back soon to discover these new features.

I've been quite busy on these tasks, and haven't added new templates for some time now, but be sure I'm working on it.

2008 comes with two new corporate templates inspired from Styleshout 'higher ground' theme. I hope you'll like it. I wish I could add more templates but I'm quite busy on some other tasks. It's up to you to support my job with your donations, so I can allow more time to enrich the catalog.

Happy new year ! It's been now 4 months the site has been launched and we reached 40000 visitors to end 2007. An average of 10000 visitors monthly. Thanks to all of you.

I added two new templates inspired from Styleshout 'cool water' theme. I really like Styleshout themes, have a look at their free themes catalog.

Good new from Mashable! doTemplate has been listed on their top ten template generators. Thanks !

Two new templates added with nice glossy and stripes effects on the banner. Some cool functions come with these new templates. You can now remove the banner image to add your own once template downloaded. You can also choose the title and slogan font more easily with a drop down list. Enjoy...

New logo and new branding ! I spent some time to change the look of the web site and correct some bugs. I also proceed some code refactoring for better performances. You noticed, did you ? Sorry if the new layout comes with more ads. This should partially pay the hosting fees.

I added 2 new templates inspired from Styleshout PixelGreen. Here it's a 2 columns design, with a large banner image. You can easily change this image once template downloaded.

I'm not fulltime available for that but I try to add one template a week.

More than 12 000 visitors doTemplate.com in September, 2 months after the launch. Many Thanks to Google, Steve Rubel and Didier Girard for having spotlighted the web site. Thanks to Guy Kawasaki and Evan Williams for their kind words.

doTemplate.com on top 3 of most bookmarked web sites at del.icio.us hotlist. It's been on top of web design and templates related categories for more that one week. Still popular no ?

doTemplate.com highlighted by Google, at the Google developer network portal in featured projects. doTemplate actually uses GWT, a great ajax library from Google that really boost your productivity when developing web sites.
I was not expected the resulting trafic from Google. The web server memory was not tuned to handle so much sessions. It's better now.

doTemplate.com launch ! No big deal, no business plan done. I just coded my ideas and put the result online. It is ( was ) not supposed to be a startup !
