The Idomoo platform has been updated to incorporate Page Creator, the successor to Landing Page Builder. In this short overview we examine the main differences between the two applications so that you can see the clear advantages of using Page Creator for presenting your video campaigns.
Advantages Of Using Page Creator
The first, and most obvious advantage, is a better choice of templates within the new system. Whereas Landing Page Builder only allowed the use of one template, with a somewhat rigidly defined layout, Page Creator has several templates to choose from (one of which is a replica of the Landing Page Builder template). Additional custom made templates are also available, and details of this can be obtained from your account manager.
Another big advantage of Page Creator is the ability to configure Idomoo's player using an easy to use interface and with no need for a developer.
Hide Unwanted Elements
Page Creator has the ability to hide or show elements within any of the templates. This allows for full customization of the page, displaying only those elements you need for your video.
In comparison, Landing Page Builder has a rigid, single, template.

Positioning And Style Choices
Page elements can be customized with choices for text alignment, font style and color, with additional ability to highlight any of the text present. It is also possible to change the direction of the text and upload custom fonts.

Full Control Of The Video Player
Page Creator gives the user full control of how the video player is displayed to the end viewer, what social media share options are displayed, and how those options are configured. This customization of the player allows you to configure the player simply and quickly, without the need for a developer.

Accessibility
Page Creator was designed from the very beginning to allow all of your target audience to view your video, including those with disabilities. Many of the features in Page Creator such as aligning with ARIA guidelines, keyboard accessibility (for users who cannot use a mouse), better text customization options, and support for closed captions and transcript, are among some of the innovative features that were not available in Landing Page Builder, but are available in Page Creator.

Draft And Live Versions
A template, once edited, automatically becomes a draft version, and can be re-edited at any time. When those edits are complete, the draft version can be promoted to a live version, which can then be shared with your target audience.
In comparison, any changes made to a page created with Landing Page Builder are automatically seen by your audience immediately.

When Did Support for Landing Page Builder End?
Support for the Landing Page Builder has ended. However, accounts that have landing pages will:
- Still have a Landing Pages section that shows all existing landing pages. These pages can still be edited and modified, but no new pages can be created using Landing Page Builder. New pages can only be created using Page Creator.
- Existing landing pages will continue to function as usual with no time limitation.
This ensures that current campaigns using pages built with Landing Page Builder can continue smoothly. To take advantage of new features, it is advised to migrate your old pages to Page Creator.
