BuiltWith Blog https://blog.builtwith.com All About BuiltWith Tue, 30 Apr 2019 00:50:49 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.1.1 SAML for Teams https://blog.builtwith.com/2019/04/30/saml-for-teams/ Tue, 30 Apr 2019 00:50:48 +0000 https://blog.builtwith.com/?p=1878 We now support SAML Single Sign On for Team access to BuiltWith Pro.

This means that as an administrator of a Team account you no longer need to use our Team user administration tools but can use your existing identity provider (like Salesforce, OneLogin or PingIdentity).

At the end of the day that means less work for yourself.

To get SAML enabled for your team account just contact us and we will enable it for you.

]]> Finding Staging, Development and Test Websites https://blog.builtwith.com/2019/03/24/finding-staging-development-and-test-websites/ Sun, 24 Mar 2019 22:40:18 +0000 https://blog.builtwith.com/?p=1872 Because we have almost 100% coverage of the active internet, including sub-domains, we can identify when websites are testing out new features and functions. This means we can see when a website is trying out another product on the public internet but on a staging or test domain.

We’ve added the ability to filter reports by websites that have particular keywords in their domain name or subdomain to aid this.

Demo of Filtering

For example you could create a list of 100,000 sites using Shopify then search for the keyword ‘staging’ to find domains in that list that might be using the technology on staging.test.org for example.

]]> Making a Large List Usable https://blog.builtwith.com/2019/03/14/making-a-large-list-usable/ Thu, 14 Mar 2019 23:43:36 +0000 https://blog.builtwith.com/?p=1869 If you want a list of all Shopify sites you’re looking at list now that is close to 1,000,000 websites – how is that usable? Send an email to all of them is just spam so that won’t work.

Breaking the list down into a more usable list is what the BuiltWith Pro tool excels at doing – with over 30,000 other technologies tracked as of March 2019 and a unique website spending breakdown function you can filter a list like Shopify down from 1,000,000 sites to 100 sites – then use that filtering knowledge to build a clear outreach to customers who will actually benefit from your product offering.

We made a quick video demoing how you can create a list and bring it down to a much more usable size and then using the additional LeadsEye tool to further filter that list down.

]]> Shopify Themes https://blog.builtwith.com/2019/02/26/shopify-themes/ Tue, 26 Feb 2019 20:15:14 +0000 https://blog.builtwith.com/?p=1860 We’re now tracking all of the themes listed in the Shopify Theme Store on BuiltWith.

These default themes are sometime free, sometime paid for which we indicate in detailed profiles. We’re also tracking ‘Custom Theme’ which means that the site has developed or paid someone to develop their own theme for their Shopify Store!

You can see all of the Themes we are tracking at –

]]> Report Ready Notifications https://blog.builtwith.com/2019/02/04/report-ready-notifications/ Mon, 04 Feb 2019 23:59:45 +0000 https://blog.builtwith.com/?p=1853 Sick of waiting around for those reports with 1,000,000 results in them? Me to, they generate pretty quickly but still, anything longer than 1/10th of a second is too long in the 21st century.

If you enable notifications on the BuiltWith Pro dashboard we’ll send you an alert when a report that has taken longer than 60 seconds to generate.

This is what alerts look like on Windows 10.

This is great if you have the patience of a boiling kettle. More information on how to setup alerts at https://kb.builtwith.com/account-management/how-to-enable-domain-and-report-notifications/

]]> Localization https://blog.builtwith.com/2019/01/21/localization/ Mon, 21 Jan 2019 23:49:43 +0000 https://blog.builtwith.com/?p=1845 We’ve localized BuiltWith into English, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese to support our growing customer base around the world and support the 1.6 million visitors we had in December 2018, of which 20% have a non-English browser language.

Korean Translation

Last year we redesigned the site to make it clearer that we have data for the entire globe, localizing the site into additional languages helps this cause and makes it easier for users to explore the feature of BuiltWith in their own language.

We used translators from each respective country to translate and check the site in these languages.

Update: We just added French language as well!

]]> Websites with Plans and Pricing Pages https://blog.builtwith.com/2019/01/13/websites-with-plans-and-pricing-pages/ Sun, 13 Jan 2019 06:05:05 +0000 https://blog.builtwith.com/?p=1842 We added a feature to BuiltWith where we track websites that link to a Plans & Pricing page.

This can be quite useful when looking for businesses, especially those that are related to all websites that are SaaS systems.

This complements the other link based technology tracking under our ‘Homepage Link‘ category.
