Our website development team has been busy working on improvements to increase the usability of our platform. We’re excited to introduce improvements to the Update Patrons feature and Google Sign Up and Sign In.

Walk through the improvements and learn how they improve the user experience for Project Creators and Patrons.

Improvements to the Update Patrons Feature

The Update Patrons feature allows Project Creators to connect directly with their Patrons by publishing updates on the campaign page under the Updates tab and sending them out by email.

The feature is essential for providing Patrons with real-time updates on the progress of your crowdfunding campaign. During the campaign, we see projects using the feature to share progress toward their goals and highlight campaign-related events. Once the campaign is over, it becomes a central hub for sharing and keeping Patrons updated on project implementation, construction, and events, demonstrating that their contributions are being used responsibly and strengthening trust with their community.

We were aware of issues with the feature, including an outdated email wrapper design, emoji rendering, and image sizes in email updates. Over the past several months, we’ve been working to improve the feature.

We’ve updated the email wrapper with a new design aligned with our brand guidelines and recent website redesign.

We’ve addressed the issue with image container size, ensuring images are sized appropriately for email inboxes.

We’re continuing to improve the feature by updating the text editor and introducing new convenient unsubscribe options.

Simple Sign Up & Sign In with Google

We’ve introduced simple Sign Up and Sign In with Google. Whether you're managing or contributing to a crowdfunding campaign, this option provides a convenient way to Sign Up and Sign In to your account through your trusted account provider.

Now, you have options to Sign Up and Sign In with email, Facebook, and Google.
