The new Helosia gradient.

Helosia v2.0 has just launched. What is actually the difference? Well, I am writing this blog post to tell you. I am Harry Burr, the CEO of Helosia and it’s parent company, TriveUK, by the way.

Helosia v1.0 has been out for around 3 months and is getting quite boring, the website is ugly, logo is ugly. Everything is quite ugly. I designed and developed Helosia v2.0 to solve that, and apart from a new design, there are so many more features too. Here are the top 11 new upgrades.

1. New website and HelosiaID design.

For months now, we have been looking at the same website and the same HelosiaID. I have now changed that by improving mobile viewing, removing Wix ads, improving the website speed and now with a great new chat feature. But obviously the most noticeable is the new backgrounds, fonts and colours which look even better than the last Helosia by making more transparent elements and with a beautiful new font.

2. Helosia logo change

We of course cannot forget about the Helosia logo change which looks amazingly modern and a huge improvement from the old logo. Gradients just complement this logo really well.

3. Calendar feature

One of the biggest new implementations on Helosia v2.0 is our new family calendar feature which is frankly amazing. We are using TeamUp for this feature this time.

4. HelosiaRegistry

I was thinking the other day about how we can organise all of our family and Helosia domains into one platform. I didn’t quite get there, but HelosiaRegistry will do. It is simply a database of all of the domains we own, with options to contact us for more info, like buying and leasing them.

5. Revamped Helosia website URL system

With the limitations of the free Wix plan, it was making the Helosia website very underpowered. I have now improved that by purchasing a premium Wix plan and added subdomains that help viewers get around the website with ease.

6. Helosia logo animation

We now have an awesome new animation of the Helosia logo which will be launching in the coming days and will be on most of our new video commercials and marketing schemes. It is viewable now on our Product Hunt listing actually!

7. New HelosiaID system

As we run HelosiaID on Wix, there were a lot of limitations before on the free plan, but of course we have upgraded our plan to a paid plan. It is now trickier for a non-Helosia customer to sign up for HelosiaID without a subscription, which is handy for us internally!

8. Search

Not too interesting but worth it to say. You can now search the Helosia website, that’s it. Hope you enjoy it.

9. New languages

Still a work in progress but it will be really good for us to reach new markets with 2 new languages, Chinese and Japanese.

10. HelosiaID app

HelosiaID now has an app downloadable for Android which is gonna improve mobile management of your Helosia subscription a lot (and has a dark theme!)

11. New chat system

We have officially given up on Chatovod after hearing that they are not too good with security and gone with chot.xyz instead. It is a simple new change but will hopefully improve how our customers think about their privacy and security.

So, that is Helosia v2.0 and we think you are gonna love it, or are already loving it as it is out for use already, just by going to HTTPS://helosia.co.uk!
