Fraternity Websites & Sorority Websites | WeGoAll

WeGoAll is now offering your organization up to 100 free 6GB email accounts with any website. Thanks to Google Apps, WeGoAll is able to provide organizations the professionalism achieved from sending emails from their own domain name, while still allowing us to concentrate on making a better product and not worrying about email servers or storage costs. Send emails from you@your-domain.com so you and your organization convey professionalism. Our email accounts also use Google’s simple and intuitive Gmail interface that can be linked into mobile devices such as a BlackBerry.

Each website will come with pre-made email accounts, and any additional email accounts can be added free of charge at your request. Your email will be easily accessible by visiting http://mail.your-domain.com.

If you’re not using WeGoAll yet, contact us today to see how we can help you and your organization save time, collect more donations, improve billing collection, and look even more professional.

WeGoAll is always trying to improve and enhance the user experience on our clients’ websites. That’s why we’ve been using the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) to improve our clients’ websites and allow for more intuitive viewing and administrator controls. We recently implemented one of the newest controls from the YUI team: Charts. The charts control allows us to easily visualize tabular data in several different formats, including a pie chart. We implemented the pie chart feature to more graphically and understandably display the votes to member polls.

Rich Text Editor - YouTube plugin

We also have been using another great feature from the YUI team, the Rich Text Editor. The rich text editor allows our clients to easily create and style content, and does not require users to know or understand HTML code.

Here is a plugin WeGoAll created so that our clients could easily insert YouTube videos into their websites using the Rich Text Editor from the Yahoo User Interface.

About WeGoAll

WeGoAll creates interactive fraternity and sorority websites and database management tools that will professionally present chapters online, help to facilitate internal chapter communication between members and alumni, help improve communication with potential new members, and improve alumni donations.

You may have noticed that your WeGoAll website is easier to use and has more features than ever. Our team is constantly improving the tools that your chapter relies upon. We have several goals in mind when adding features and enhancing features: make features easier and more intuitive, allow chapters to communicate more efficiently, and give chapters more control of their website.

Here is a list of the most recent upgrades we have made to make your site better:

• Ever need help with a certain feature or page in your website? We recently published an instruction manual that covers every aspect of your site. If you don’t feel like searching through the manual, you can click the “Help” link in the control panel to get help information for whatever page you are currently viewing.
• Easily send out mass text-messages from your website. Create a list of members and send the results to the site Data Manager. Then send a text-message to each member in your list. Communicating with members is made more effective and faster by using our integrated text-messaging solution.
• Adding images to articles has become much easier. Insert images that have already been uploaded, upload images from your computer, seamlessly search for images on the internet, or choose and image from your chapter’s photo galleries.
• Member profiles got a major face lift and provide more information about members. There are also more security controls in place to prevent sensitive information from being displayed to unregistered members.
• You can now search your entire website by using the “Site Search” page. Search through pages, news, events, personal broadcasts, pictures, and tags.
• Browsing pictures has been made much, much easier. When viewing pictures, the next picture to be viewed is preloaded before you view it, making navigation almost instantaneous.
• The member registration process has become easier and more flexible. Additionally, you can acquire more information from your members than ever before by creating member attributes. Sigma Nu - Louisiana Tech University recently added every officer that their chapter has ever had to a list of presets for the Offices Held member attribute. This allows their chapter to easily track members who were ever commander, treasurer, recorder, etc… So when someone registers on their website, they can select any offices they have ever held from a drop down menu.
• The events calendar got a major upgrade. You can now view a large calendar that lists all of the events in a given month. You can also print a list of events for a given month. This is very useful for chapters who wish to pass out an event list at chapter meetings.
• Members can now request permission to be able to access certain features of your website. This provides administrators an easier way of managing which members can access certain features of your site.
• Navigating to articles and pages is now easier. “Clean urls” have been added to chapter websites, allowing you to go to http://www.yoursite.com/news instead of typing in http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?page=news. This will allow content creators and members to easily share links to your website’s content. Clean urls also help increase a chapter’s search engine rankings on sites like Google.com, Yahoo.com, Ask.com, and others.
• We added polls so that you can gather information from your members and get a better idea of how your members respond to different questions. For example, you could poll “members only” to find out if members would like to have a cookout or a volleyball tournament…. or both! You could also poll “alumni only” and ask where the annual alumni meeting should be held.

So with all of the new features and upgrades, you must be wanting to get back to your chapter’s website and start using them… Go ahead, but come back later to read more great articles from WeGoAll!

Hello, and welcome to the official WeGoAll blog! We will use this blog to announce news, events, chapter success stories, hints, tips, and other information that may be of interest to our clients, Greeks, or developers.
