March 2023 – Monthly Changelog

New Features:

  • We created a new set of "Hero Title Text" Design Settings called "Main Title Text Align" and "Sub-Title Text Align". These new settings control the alignment of the Main Title and Sub Title of the Hero Section of the homepage.

Once an hour of the day is selected, the system will attempt to collect all recurring subscription invoices during the selected hour. Choosing a time here will also sync the billing system with the Website Timezone selected in the website's settings. To use this new setting, navigate to the Admin >> Settings >> General Settings >> Localization tab.

One of the best business decisions we've ever made

We switched to BD about a year ago, and it's one of the best business decisions we ever made. Our website now is user-friendly, and our members can easily update their profiles and add content on their own. But what I love most about BD is that they are constantly adding new features, and they seem to really care about their clients... We struggled through various platforms, from WordPress to very expensive custom-built websites. None came close to being as functional or reliable as our BD website.
