Screencast on how to change the design of the GolfInvestors web site

A feature that many users do not know about on GolfInvestors is the ability to change the design of the GolfInvestors web site. This feature has been implemented 3 or 4 years ago, however, has not been marketed much to users.

I have created a short screencast on how to change the design of the Gi web site. This screencast shows you how the Gi site design changes with a click of a button. Click on the image below to start the screencast.

Note: Send us an email if you want to set your Gi account up to be able to create your own design template for Gi.
