To build this section on your own, follow these steps:

1. Start with a row with one column. Add a background image to the row and toggle on the parallax effect.

2. Add the following widgets to the row, one on top of the other: Icon, Title, Table, Social Icons.

3. Select an X in the Icon widget, add a title to the Title widget and design the table as follows: Turn the toggle on for the first column and even column width. In the first column, set the font to 20 px, white and bold. Set the header color background to white with 60% opacity; set the font to 16 px, blue and bold. Set the even row background color to purple with 20% opacity. Set the odd row background color to white with 20% opacity. Set the row font to 16px, white.

4. To set the entrance animation: right-click on the table > entrance animation >fade in from left/right.

More Connected Data Power

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 01:09:09 GMT

INLINE BINDING

Inline Binding is the newest way to save time and improve accuracy with Connected Data. In addition to connecting entire widgets to data in the Content Library, you can now connect portions of text (a company name or description, for example) within a larger section of text that isn’t connected. This gives more design flexibility for the data you’ve connected as it can be styled along with the unconnected text.

By integrating Content Library data into your text, your entire site-building process is faster because you don't have to manually type elements that repeat themselves in the site. You also ensure that these sections are always up-to-date. If the elements change (for example, a phone number or address is updated in the Content Library), your entire site will automatically be updated too.

How it works

While entering content in a text widget, type {{{ to open the Connected Data popup. From here, select the label of the data you want to insert. When you close the text widget, the data will appear as part of the regular text.

NOW ON COLUMNS & INNER ROWS

You can now round corners on columns and inner row. This subtle design capability can have a huge impact on the look and feel of your sites, making sites more visually appealing, softer, and easier to read.

You’ve been able to round corners on images and buttons for quite some time. Now, you can round corners on columns and inner rows, too. Rounding corners softens the look of your website, making information easier for site visitors to read and absorb.

It’s a subtle change that can make your sites trendier, more modern, and more readable.

The widget provides a seamless integration with public Google calendars, enabling you to customize it as you customize all widgets.

Calendars are a perfect addition to so many types of sites:

Entertainment venues: Tourist attractions, zoos, concert venues and art exhibits – adding a calendar to these sites enables site visitors to see upcoming events at a glance.
Schools: Help students, educators and parents by posting the school calendar directly on the school site. It’s a great incentive for visitors to bookmark the site.

Restaurants: Post daily and weekly specials, holiday meals and more. Add an OpenTable widget on the same page, making it easy for visitors to make reservations.

New Blog Editor

Wed, 20 Mar 2019 01:36:47 GMT

We’ve completely transformed the blog editor to make it smarter, faster, easier to use and more flexible. The new blog works exactly like a site page, so if you know how to edit a page, you know how to use the blog. This makes it really easy to add great-looking posts easily and quickly.

Here are some of the features that make this possible:

Structured layout that’s ideal for SEO
Complete content flexibility in every post
Quick publishing of new posts (from directly inside the blog)
Swift search for posts according to title or author
Fully customizable SEO default settings for every post
Ability to update the layout of all posts (current and future) at once
And more!

How does it work?

The new blog has two modes: Layout Mode is where you set the general structure once for all posts. Post Mode is where you go to add content for each post. The post settings are connected to the layout to give current and future posts design flexibility within the structure set in the layout. This enables a consistent layout which is good for SEO and enables a better user experience.

Smart Design in Layout Mode

Think of the Layout Mode as your center for design. Here, you connect the main components of the post (title, author, image) so that the look and feel of all blog posts is consistent. Once set, all current and future posts have the same look. Want to change something in the layout? No problem. Any changes you make in Layout Mode are applied to every post in your blog, and visible online when you republish your site.

Content Flexibility in Post Mode

Post Mode is where you go to write your posts. Add any widgets that you want and customize individual posts with images, design elements, etc. When you finish editing the post, just click publish and the post will be live - no need to republish your site.

Fast Post Creation with Connected Modes

The connection between these two modes enables you to create new, consistently designed posts quickly. This supports SEO and enables users to find what they are looking for easily.

Elements in your post that are automatically connected are the title, author, date and image. You can remove these connections if you like, but we highly recommend keeping them to ensure that all posts contain this key information.

The big benefits of blogging

Though there are many ways to keep in touch with users today, blogs remain a great tool for fostering a strong online presence, communicating with customers, and helping businesses grow. Blogs enable you and your customers to update content regularly and easily, create more indexed pages, communicate with visitors, and more. The benefits of these activities include:

Supporting SEO
Driving traffic to your website
Positioning your brand as an industry leader
Fostering customer relationships

READY, SET, CONVERT!

Increase engagement, build interest and excitement, and create a sense of urgency with the cool new Countdown widget, that enables you to add a real-time countdown to your site. Use it to encourage visitors to take action by letting them know:

When a sale or promotion is going to end
How much longer until an event starts
When a new product is going to launch

Add the Countdown widget anywhere on your website (for example, on the main image, in a popup or banner). Choose from several layouts, decide how to display time that has passed, and set the message that displays when the countdown is over.

Some eye-catching countdown examples

Place the widget in the hero image of a landing page. Use a contrasting background as the frame color to highlight the counter.

Display the countdown on every page in a site by placing it in the header.

Collect more leads by building a sense of urgency on your contact forms. Add a counter and a call for action.

Add a counter to a popup to show that a specific sale won’t last forever.

Counting down is as easy as 1-2-3
