We are pleased to announce our new user interface here at JangoMail.  The new design combines the old with the new.  We’ve taken suggestions directly from you, our valued clients.  Enjoy our fresh new look that is easy to use and navigate, delivering the latest to you in email technology.

Here are our new features:

New Look: You’ll notice new matching colors to the site along with a well organized, easy to use dashboard that houses popular links.  These shortcuts are not only visually appealing, but convenient for easy access.

Walkthrough Guides:  Each user will appreciate the walkthrough guides which give an interactive tour of the entire system.  You will initially be prompted to take the tour, but can recall or hide the guides at anytime.

Navigation: The most important change has been made to our navigation.  JangoMail now has submenus which allow users to access features within the Reports, Messages, and List sections without interrupting any work.

Countdown:  At the very top of the page, you’ll notice our new countdown feature which tracks the number of days left in your usage period, your next usage period, data used, and number of sent messages.  Note the Upgrade Account button next to the countdown for an easy upgrade.

The goal of our new interface was to improve our overall look and usability. We hope you enjoy our new features and look forward to answering any questions you may have.  Please don't hesitate to call us at 855-709-4099, or submit a ticket at jangomail.com/support.

Press Release: JangoMail Unveils Sleek New Interface

The completely redesigned interface streamlines workflow, adds new features, and increases usability.

Dayton, OH - February 15, 2012: JangoMail (www.jangomail.com), an industry leader in permission-based email marketing, unveiled a new user interface for its JangoMail and JangoSMTP services. The redesigned interface significantly improves JangoMail's functionality and navigability, giving clients deeper features, streamlined workflow, and an easy to use, "point and click" interaction.

"This is the single biggest improvement we've made to the product," said Ajay Goel, JangoMail founder and CEO. "It's sleek, it's more intuitive and user friendly, and it adds a number of new features to the JangoMail suite. We're excited to unveil it and will continue improving and tweaking the UI in coming months to make it even better."

The new interface focuses on improving the overall user experience. Highlights include updated dashboards for composing and data reporting, streamlined navigation, a clean, modern aesthetic, and newly added deliverability tools. New features include:

Their new UI has raised the bar even higher. There's lots to like and love there!"

Where things are in the new user interface

Most elements are in the same place in the new interface as the old interface. The most significant changes in the new interface are the eye pleasing aesthetics and improved workflow. A few functions have been moved though, so I'd like to highlight those here.

Upload Images is now Assets

You used to have to navigate to the Messages section to upload images which would be used in your email campaigns. Now all images, documents, and other files are managed from the "Assets" main section, and all of these assets are available to insert into your Messages via any of the available HTML editors, TinyMCE or EditLive.

New Interface

Simplified navigation of Messages

There used to be multiple dropdowns, one for templates, one for FTPd files, and one for your main email campaigns. The Messages main screen has been simplified. It starts showing all of your existing messages, which can be filtered using the Search box. And if you wish to start a new message, you can start from scratch, or from a template.

Database Connections are under Lists

All database connection functionality is under Lists. We've consolidated JangoMail-hosted Email Lists with external database connections into the Lists main section. Under Lists you will find two tabs, Lists and Databases.

There used to be a separate "Connect to My Databases" section. That section has now been merged with Lists. So whether you're using a JangoMail-hosted List to store your email data, or connecting to an external database, you do all of this under the Lists section.
