Secure Password Protection for Your Members-Only Areas.

There are a ton of reasons to create members-only areas of your website. It puts you in control — control over who sees your family photos, who gets to see the special products and discounts in your online store, and the list goes on and on.

When you password protect your website with Website Access Manager, you’ve got some serious muscle on your side. Want your visitors to have to sign in to see your whole website, from the front page all the way down? We’ve got you covered. Same goes for specific areas of your site, or even individual webpages and files like images or MP3s. Website Access Manager is a full-featured .htaccess generator — a high-tech solution that protects your website and keeps unwanted visitors out.

As Many Users as You Need.

With Website Access Manager, you can have an unlimited number of users. Yeah, we said unlimited. If you’re password protecting a family photo album, you can create user profiles for everyone in your family, from all your little cousins to your crazy aunt Mildred. If you want people to sign in to access your demo MP3s, you can create enough usernames and passwords for your friends, your manager, and your throngs of adoring fans.

Better yet, user profiles can contain as much or as little information as you need. There are the basics — a username and password — plus detailed information, like a phone number, website, e-mail address, time zone, preferred language, and pretty much anything else you might need to know. This information is stored securely on your computer and makes keeping track of your user base a whole lot easier.

Buh-Bye, Ugly Error Pages.

We’ve all seen more than our fair share of ugly error pages. You know the kind — plain text with a pixelated graphic or two that says nothing about how the user got there and doesn’t give them a way out. Does it keep you up at night knowing your users might see a page like that while visiting your website? Well, you can rest easy knowing that Website Access Manager lets you redirect 404 errors and other bad requests to a custom error page you’ve designed in a program like Visual Site Designer or the HTML Editor. Or even better, you could pick up one of the cool error page themes in our Theme Store! They're clever, they're witty, and they're sure to make the at-times frustrating experience of clicking a bad link more pleasant for your visitors. Complete control over all aspects of your website — not too shabby.

Point Your Users in the Right Direction.

You have to rename some files or reorganize your file structure. It just comes with the territory… and it comes with the risk of your users getting lost. Let’s say you have a forum called “Talkin’ About Current Events,” but you want to change the name and corresponding hyperlink to “Current Events Talk.” All your users who have “Talkin’ About Current Events” bookmarked are going to get a big, fat error page the next time they visit that link — unless you use Website Access Manager’s nifty browser redirection tool to automatically take them to the new location.

This feature also comes in handy if you’ve designed a site that’s optimized for mobile devices. The best way to make sure your mobile users are actually accessing this version of the site is browser redirection — which you can do with ease, courtesy of Website Access Manager.
