Scheduled maintenance today
Just a quick note to let you guys now that we’re migrating our systems to new servers today so there may be some down time at our site.
We’re not expecting more than a few hours of down time at the most but during that time there may be some interruption of service – including the help desk, wiki, discussion page, signup page, live demo, etc.

Note that we’re migrating our entire Magento network so Magentist and Magento Expert may also experience some down time.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience!! We know many of you rely on a daily basis on the resources we provide, including the extensive documentation and help section, and we’re working hard to continue to improve the multiple aspects of our customer service.

Welcome back to Ultimento, Greg!
Greg worked with us throughout 2009 and 2010 on a lot of things, including Ultimento, Magentist, and Magento Expert. But we parted ways in 2011. The Magento projects took wings of their own and I watched the hard work pay off as the businesses ran on a mostly automated gear.
The past year has been just amazing for Ultimento and our pool of customers has been growing ever more exponentially. The themes and extensions are as robust as ever, and the jaw dropping features are continuing to get more and more impressive with every new release.
We have a tons of really exciting features coming up in our roadmap and it was time to bring back the talented people who helped build the foundations for the most popular Magento product on the market!
Today we’re welcoming Greg and in the coming weeks we’ll have more news so make sure to stay tuned!
Greg will be working primarily on answering questions on the Discussion Page, throughout the Wiki, and via the help desk. He will also work on several new Magento themes that will be included in Ultimento (free for all customers as always 
), as well as a series of design enhancements for the core themes.
Welcome back Greg!

New free category landing pages!
It’s known that category landing pages are a great tool to promote your catalog, run promotions, and provide direct access to specific sub categories and products that yield a good ROI.
Magento is very well prepared for category landing pages and Ultimento 1.6 fully leverages this functionality! We’re really excited to introduce 2 category landing page templates that you can use on your Magento store to boost your sales and conversion rates! Not to mention many of the SEO benefits .
Two column category landing page:
The 2-column category landing page template is ideal if you want to keep the layered navigation and the other items on the left column. Here’s what it looks like:
2-column Category Landing Page Template
One column category landing page:
We also wanted to include a 1-column category landing page with a completely different design and layout. Take a look:
1-column Category Landing Page Template
Features:
The category landing pages include:
- Featured product area
- JavaScript powered (no page reload when switching between these sub categories)
- Nice fade-in / fade-out effects
- Easily extendable to any number of categories (currently setup with 3 sub categories)
- Unique design templates
- CSS3 powered – yet fully cross browser compatible
- Search engine optimized
- Developed for speed!
- Versatile and very easy to customize
- As always – 100% open source
- And more!
Live demo:
Check out the 2 column category landing page and the 1 column one on Ultimento’s live demo!
I’m sold! How do I use them on my Magento store?
In the latest Ultimento 1.6 these 2 category landing pages get automatically added to your Magento admin back-end via Ultimento’s 1-click auto-installer! Using them is then just a matter of following the quick steps to enable Ultimento’s category landing pages.
If you’re running a previous version of Ultimento, you can still use the new category landing pages . Just check out this section of the post.
A little bit of history…
The very first time we ever mentioned Ultimento was on May 19, 2010 on our company blog. This is what our website looked like at the time: Read full post »
