Customize Your WordPress Sites<\/h3>\n

Your WordPress theme framework is magic for quickly turning out websites. But it still leaves WordPress branding all over your site and in your dashboard. Ultimate Branding picks up where your theme leaves off to completely white label WordPress \u2013 from front to back.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for a simple solution for adding a custom favicon or wanting to completely rebrand your login screen, Ultimate Branding lets you customize the WordPress Dashboard without a single line of code.<\/p>\n

I could go on and on about Ultimate Branding\u2019s 30+ customization modules, but let\u2019s jump to the new goodies \u2013 \u2018cause we all love a new set of tricks. Especially ones that make our clients think we have WordPress super powers.<\/p>\n

Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode<\/h3>\n

(We snuck this one into Ultimate Branding 1.9 but it never got the fanfare it deserves… Drumroll please.)<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve purchased your perfect domain name \u2013 don\u2019t waste a minute building your brand identity. Use the Ultimate Branding Coming Soon Page & Maintenance Mode to build and protect your identity while your site is under construction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ultimate Branding lets you quickly activate a public facing under construction landing page so you can connect people to your brand while you get things ready in the background. Get your landing page up and running in minutes. Set a background image or slideshow, upload a logo<\/a>, connect your social accounts, activate a countdown clock and drop in a special welcome message.<\/p>\n

Managing a live site and performing routine maintenance<\/a>? Trigger maintenance mode to keep downtime from negatively affecting your site\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

Send System Emails Using SMTP<\/h3>\n

You can rebrand everything on your site then quickly forget about the WordPress system emails. From the forgot my password to comment notifications your site pushes out a variety of WordPress branded emails.<\/p>\n

This past year we integrated some pretty slick styling tools. Set the from address and add your own layout with built in HTML templates.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve styled your system emails all pretty…but they keep ending up in the junk box. What gives!? Ultimate Branding now lets you send system emails via SMTP to prevent them from ending up in the junk\/spam folder.<\/p>\n

Pretty fancy, aye :)<\/p>\n

Social Booster For Author Box<\/h3>\n

Blog styling isn\u2019t created equal in every theme. With Author Box you can highlight writers in a responsive box that dynamically displays on your blog posts.<\/p>\n

Feature your writer\u2019s Avatar, a short bio<\/a>, and social links. And now in 2.0 you can drop your Author Box in any widget area on your site.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more control, better styling, and better tools for featuring your writers.<\/p>\n

With all those extra goodies you may be thinking…this kind of voodoo is going to slow down my site. Not so!<\/p>\n
