World of Warcraft lovers: your wildest dream has come true

Which is: you can get a wicked website for FREE. And it will look awesome. Here is a quick rundown on how to get your very own world of warcraft guild website for FREE:

How to get the coolest guild site ever

Step 1:Signup

If you have already signed up, please go to step 2. Click here if you have not yet signed up with GuildToad (it's free!)


Step 2:Go to your NEW! guild website.

This is the site you named during the signup process (http://yoursite.guildtoad.com for freetoad and coppertoad accounts, or www.yoursite.com for silvertoad and goldtoad accounts). If you have forgotten the name, you can look it up on the View Current Guilds page, in your account info, or else check your email for your welcome message. It will contain a link to your guild site. If you still can't find it after looking in those places, please contact us and we will help you.

Along with your welcome email, you received a “guild invitation” email. You can forward this message to your guild, so that they can signup and start using your site. You can also invite guild members to your new website by logging into your account and clicking the “invite new guild members” link to the right of your guild members stats.

Step 3:Login

Next, on your guild website, please login. The login button is located on the far right side of the navigation bar at the top. Your username and password are the ones you used to create your GuildToad account. Check your welcome email if you have forgotten them, or please click the " Forgot Password?" or "Forgot Username?" links at the bottom of the login page for assistance.


Step 4:Customization

Take a look at your home page. There are many ways you can customize your site! First, lets change your welcome message to one that fits your guild personally. To do this, you need to access the CONTROL PANEL. This link will appear for only the admin of the website (he who first signed up the guild).

To change your guild message:
Click on the control panel link on the very far right side of the navigation bar. Next, click on "Guild Information". Then click on "guild message". The default message will appear, and you will be able to edit the message to make it your own.

Some other things you can change using the guild site control panel are:
  • Personalize your Guild Site Banner
  • Change Time Settings
  • Change Calendar Settings
  • Change you Guild Site Skin (Horde skins, Alliance skins, and more!)
  • Create your own custom Guild Site Design
  • Start a Guild Recruitment Program using your own custom guild membership application
  • Edit Forums, Forum Categories and Forum permissions
  • Change user permissions
  • Much more!
That's it! Enjoy your site! If you have any more questions, visit our FAQ page!

Please report any problems or bugs you may encounter, and feel free to email us with suggestions on how to improve the site. Thank you and have fun with your new guild website!

Exciting News: End of Beta!

As we are working diligently to solidify the new and amazing Guild Website features of GuildToad, we are excited to announce that GuildToad is nearing the end of its beta state. We hope to have GuildToad's new features up and running by the early weeks of November. 

Some of these features are:
- Live Guild Chat! This little gem will allow you to freely chat with any fellow guild members who are also on the website. The chat will 'float' on the page and will persist throughout your visit to the website, so you can chat and surf the guild site unrestrained! This is a very exciting addition, as it will really allow you to communicate with your guild in the most effective manner. Of course, for more static discussions, the GuildToad Guild Website Forums are a great place for those to take place.

- Guild Website Design! is now customizable! Not only can you chose from a handful of AMAZING pre-built Guild Website designs, but you will also be able to choose a level of customization for those designs. You can choose the 'Simple Site Customization', which will allow you to modify an existing simple design in an extremely easy fashion. For those hard-core web developers/designers, there's the '100% Customizable' option, where we let you edit the CSS of the website.... that's right! You have the reigns! You can customize 100% of your website colors, styles and images.

- Revamped Control Panel! The new and improved Guild Website Control Panel is extremely easy to use and intuitive. This tool allows you to have 100% control over your Guild Website. You can change the appearance, permissions, functionality, all to your liking!

- Customizable Home Page! The new Guild Toad Guild Website home page will allow EACH user to customize the layout of his/her home page. With choices of content boxes such as: Recent Forum Posts, Who's Online, Recent News, New Topics and much more!

These features will be implemented just in time for you to use this amazing guild website along with your subscription of World of Warcraft™ Wrath of the Lich King! 

The amazing new features of this expansion haven't gone unnoticed. We are planning to integrate the guild calendar with the in-game calendar, so that events can be managed from the website as well as in-game. We are also planning on capturing new features based on the new professions and new game mechanics!

Stay tuned, as we count down the launch! And visit www.guildtoad.com to see these changes take effect!

World of Warcraft website customization

We have had a slew of great ideas for improving the websites! Now our users will be able to customize their website in different "modes". The first one is for those who want to customize it quickly and easily. You can choose what colors you want, upload a banner, and boom! You're done. For those who want to take it to the next level, we have planned for you too. You will be able to edit the individual styles of your page! There are no limits to your potential! Especially because, for those who are CSS savy, you can even use your own stylesheet!
We have some other incredible stuff on the way, stuff so amazing I wont even try to describe it on this blog - you will have to come see for yourself! www.guildtoad.com

We are getting a new home page!

Thats right. Guildtoad is getting a major makeover. Soon the hideously ugly design that, yes, I created (hey, it was good for the time I had, but even then I knew I could do wayyyyyyy better!) will be forever history. A new, shiny, beautifully modern and slick design will replace it. Just in time to show off our new tutorial page!

What is the tutorial page you ask?
Well, we were worried that many people would create their site, but not know the full potential of it. So, we would like everyone to blow through a quick, easy to understand, and info-packed tutorial to show them all the features! We are also making a customization wizard to help speed up the process of making your website look like YOUR website.

In short, Guildtoad is making major progress! Hopefully within the next little while, people everywhere who play World of Warcraft (WoW) will realize how cool these custom sites are and grace us with their presence. We will not disappoint.

That's right, you can make the design of your GuildToad website match your personal taste and cater to the needs of your guild. We have made it so you can edit the design of the site yourself, add custom graphics, and all in an easy to use editor. In minutes you will have your very own custom website, perfect for hosting your World of Warcraft guild! And the best part is it is free. Check it out here: http://www.guildtoad.com/Features.aspx
