View full list of templates.	Pre-installed and Custom Templates (view full list) 300 free site templates and over 100 professionally designed premium site templates (prices ranging from £20.00 to £50.00 only). Once you have chosen your design scheme or ‘template’, through the Site Template Manager, you can then assign it to your entire web site in a single click. For sites that warrant the use of several different visual themes to separate large sections, templates can be specified on a per-page basis. Templates can be adapted by ourselves to better suit your business. Price from £75.00.
View full list of plugins.	Manage plugins Plugins are installable packages that add new functionality to the Site Builder. They can add anything from a toolbar button to a entirely new feature module. Above all, plugins let you tailor your web Site Builder installation to suit your specific purposes, adding only the features you want and leaving out those you don't.
	Page editing and file management With the Site Builder, you can modify, delete, or update the pages you create anytime you wish.
	Navigation menus The Auto-Menu system lets you create and manage graphical and text-based menus for your site. Simply choose which of your site pages you wish to appear on the navigation as main pages or sub-pages of others, specify the colour of the buttons and their text, and your new menu is ready for use!
	Photo albums The Photo Album module allows you to create and manage slide-show type photo albums with captions. For schools and other organizations, this feature serves as an organized, attractive way to make pictures available online. Plus, because each image within an album can be linked to a site page or another web site, the Photo Album can also be used as an online portfolio.
	Web blogs Essentially the digital incarnation of newspaper and magazine columns, Web Blogs are rapidly gaining popularity with budding writers and experienced journalists everywhere! With a familiar word-processor interface and automatic archiving of past entries, the Blog Manager eliminates the technical barriers of Web Blogging, and lets you concentrate on what matters most – your opinion.
	Web forms Create online enquiry and feedback forms to collect visitor information.
	Member logins Protecting portions of your web site from public access is one of the most common tasks in creating advanced web sites and web applications. Aside from extensive user-management functions, the Secure Users features also allows you to create multiple levels of access through user-defined security codes, or "groups".
	Searchable event calendars The Event Calendar Module makes it easy to create and manage interactive event calendars for your web site. When used in conjunction with the Secure Login System, you can specify the extent to which users can view and/or edit calendars and events.
	Shopping cart system The Shopping Cart module helps you develop and manage all types of online stores; from small and simple, to big and complex. Effortlessly configure product categories, shipping methods, tax rates, payment options, exchange policies, and much more; all without typing a single line of code.
	Web site Traffic Statistics The Site Statistics feature gives you a great at-a-glance summary of your visitors' browsing behaviours. It tells you how many visitors your web site received over a given time period and which areas of your site received the highest traffic.

Please note that templates and plugins are provided by third party designers and although we can help you install them, should you encounter any difficulties in using them you will be able to get help and support from the Soholaunch help pages and forum.
