Right Click Admin
We recently unveiled our right click admin. This has truly become our most loved feature of all. Combining minimum mouse distance with minimum clicks, you can edit everything on your site within 5 pixels! You'll love it! It makes looking after your site fun!
Multiple sign up modes
Need a site where signup is restricted? Choose to allow anyone to sign up, by invitation of the system administrator only or viral invitation mechanisms. Its your choice.
Free updates
We are constantly updating Spitfire and you will automatically receive every upgrade. We like to look after you, not just until you go live with your site.
Your domain name
Spitfire lets you use your domain name of choice. We will allocate you a staging URL to work on while you get your site perfected. Then flick the switch and change your domain name and away you go. We also re-write www urls to their more marketable non-www counterparts for better marketing and consistent search engine URLs.
Accepting Payment
We integrate with eWay and PayPal to accept payments through your eCommerce store if you have it enabled.
Coupons and Discounts
Spitfire lets you create coupon codes to promote your products. Discount a percentage or fixed amount, minimum cart totals and even free shipping.

Blogs
Yep, you can easily configure a blog on the site. They are a great way for communicating information. But we also have a few other tricks up our sleeves when it comes to producing compelling documents and document layouts.
Twitter and Newsfeeds
We have embraced twitter for business purposes. We can drag in your tweets to become your news service. Stay tuned, because we are about to roll out tweeting from you site so that you can have 360° announcements of site updates.
Customisation
Spitfire is 100% customisable. You are empowered with total design freedom. To make things even easier, we create them for you can either tweak them to your needs or choose from additional designs from our library.
Standardising Design
By default, we use the 960.gs CSS grid framework to rapidly produce solid, reliable site designs in the minimum of time possible. Even though we love 960.gs, we understand that you may prefer Blueprint CSS, Yahoo! YUI or your favourite framework. No problems, just switch in the CSS and new snippets and you're done.
Dynamic CSS organisation
Spitfire enables you to load multiple CSS libraries and have them streamed as a single CSS file. Easy management with good site design principles.
jQuery
We have standardised on using jQuery for javascript development. That means you can use jQuery's vast range of plugins right within your site.
