2025 RELEASE 1
February 2025

What's new this month: 

• A whole new menu system with mega menus
  
• Map tour mode
  
• New online User Guides
  
• Core CMS version upgrade
  
• Assorted enhancements & bug fixes
  

Plus - Multi-brand Site Add-on
Multiple brands are now available in LOOP!  This highly requested feature now means that we can offer multiple designs within the same LOOP website using our new Brand Bundle functionality.  There are a few ways this can be used: 

• Option 1) Totally separate brand website
  If you need different header / footer options and navigation then we can setup a new home node and theme. This can also work with multiple URLs/domains or subdomains within a single LOOP instance.
• Option 2) Minisite within your main site
  New Brand Bundles can be applied to sections or pages within your existing site - perfect for themed restaurants, flagship events, dedicated conservation areas and more.
• Option 3) Themed pages
  A Brand Bundle can be applied to a single or multiple pages, so they're perfect for smaller one-page campaigns or event pages.
