Enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi everyone,

Your Layers Panel just got a major revamp. You are now able to:
- Reorder elements
- Rename layers
- Lock elements

In addition, icons were added so that you can easily find Anchor Links, pinned layers and parallax layers on your canvas.

Hi Everyone,

We have some exciting news. New buttons are now available in the Studio with rollover states and multiple animations and transition effects.

Not only do you have dozens of buttons to choose from, you are also able to customize the color, text and effects of the states to fit your design needs.

You can find these buttons in the Elements Panel under the Buttons drop-down and simply drag and drop them onto the canvas.

For more information on the new buttons: http://goo.gl/kE6A4F

Please try them and tell us what you think.

You can now fully customize your own 404 Error page.

Tip: Design an appealing message on your 404 page so visitors will understand what happened and what they can do next.
You can see ours here.

How to work it?
- For new sites: When you create a new site, a “404 Error page” will be part of your page list so you’ll be able to fully design it just like any other page.

- For existing sites: In your Studio’s “Pages” menu, create a new page and make sure that the URL property is set to www.yoursite.com/404.html

What do you think?

You can now add 301 Redirections to your site and migrate pages from old websites to your new Webydo site.

A 301 page redirection tells both visitors and search engines that your original page is no longer relevant and redirects the user to your new page.

To Work It:

Go to your Dashboard
Click on Site Settings
Choose the Redirections Tab
Insert your old and new URL and save!

Let us know what you think!

Hi Alexandra, We have just released today the Lightbox Element. It allows you to create a button that will display any web page in a popup window, dimming out the background of the page on which it is located.

Hope you like it!

Hi all, I have some news:

We have just released the “Hover Effects” element.

The Hover Effects element is an image element with multiple hover effects for you to choose from.

This wide variety of hover effects consists of fine lines, white space and clean typography. Use them to improve styling or to enhance the overall user experience of your site.

By the way, you may link the image to any page you wish, as a button.

Explore the Effects Here:

Let me know what you think!

It’s alive!

This new, hover-activated element allows you to create a 3D parallax effect composed of a background and up to 4 floating layers. It is the first visual, 3D Parallax Generator in the world.
