Easy Admin Settings
Digital PTO offers two different ways to access your administrative section. Our Easy Admin option hides most of the advanced features and functionality and allows users to focus on their content faster and easier. More advanced users can switch to the advanced mode and have full access all the features included in their selected plan.
Privacy & User Features
Privacy Controls
We believe very strongly that each individual PTA should be able to determine their own privacy settings based on their needs. By default, we allow both visitors and search engines to your site, but you have the option to ask the engines not to index your website or your can restrict access only to registered users. It all depends on what you want and need. Some PTA’s are very public about their programs and community relationships, other PTA’s prefer to lock down their information and only provide it to their registered user database.
User Accounts Allowed
If you decide to restrict access to your registered users, rest assured that we allow for unlimited users with all of our plans, so you will never have to worry about reaching a quota or be forced to pay more to allow for additional users. You can add as many as you need. Stress Free.
Customization Features
Theme Library
All of our Digital PTO plans offer multiple theme options. The theme is the look and feel of your site. Digital PTO sites are built using advanced technology that allows for instant changes to your sites look and feel without losing content or having to replace your data with the changes. It’s pretty amazing. The Free plan comes with a handful of themes to select and (of course) the Premium Plans come with a truck load of themes to pick from. Try a few on for size in our preview pane and see what your site will look like without changing anything for your regular visitors.
Full HTML Editing Available
Our advanced users will appreciate the access we provide to full HTML coding within your posts and pages. Our advanced user interface allows you to switch between visual edit mode and HTML mode with a single click.

Many of our themes offer customization that are simple for all users to perform. Customizations include color selections, head image changes, menu changes, widget adjustments and more. Please note: the customizations are based on the theme, not the plan selected.
