Building blocks for just about everything
A HotDoodle website is built using Blocks, and there are blocks for just about everything. Build your own website all in one go, or start simple and gradually add web pages or features. Explore below a few of the Blocks or click here for a full list.

Picture Albums Block allows you to show a single photo or an entire photo album. You can display a photo in multiple views on your website, such as a thumbnail, slide show and more.

Form Block can be used to collect useful information from visitors on your website, such as feedback, help requests, and suggestions. It can help you stay connected with your online community.

Product Catalog Block lets you show pictures, text and other information for display in a product catalog format. Automatically build a customer list and accept major credit cards from your website.

Flash Video Block lets you display streaming video or flash video files on your website. You can either insert a link from an external website or upload a flash video file.

PayPal Block provides an easy way to add a PayPal® button to your website for visitors to make a purchase or donation.

Articles Block lets you post and link articles on your website. You can display an article in multiple views, such as condensed, expanded, random rotation and more.

Blog Block can be used to keep your community updated through your website with what is new with your business, organization or even personal interest.

Mail Block makes it simple for you and website members to create, manage, send and receive messages all from within your HotDoodle website. Also you can send personalized newsletters to your list of registered website users and groups.

Login Block makes it easy to add registration on your website. Grow your community by giving users the opportunity to join your site, sign up for your newsletter, sign in to access private pages, or even post comments on forums or blogs. The Login Block also lets users create personal profiles for your website community.

Access and Permissions allows you to selectively grant permissions to view or edit specific content or entire pages on your website. This is a great way to allow staff to view private web pages, a PenPal to write a blog for you, or even a simple way to coordinate with committee members, vendors, or clients.

Bulletin Board Block lets you and other users post and comment on discussion topics within your website. Also users can subscribe to bulletine boards, which will send automatic email notifications when new activity by users occurs on a board.

Calendar Block lets you share upcoming business or organization events on your website in different display styles such as a weekly, monthly or list view.
