You can specify desired changes, such as adding objects, replacing screen content, or altering hairstyles. Anything of which you can think!

  • Website Wizard:
  • New feature: Added 'Website Wizard' to quickly create a new project. Select style, the pages you want to include and even (optionally) generate content with AI!

  • New feature: Added 'Badge' object. A "badge" is a small graphic, text or symbol that can be used to add additional information to the web site elements. For example, showing if a product is available, promoting a discount, displaying a user's achievements, or indicating how popular a product is. A Badge can be applied to almost any WWB object.
  • The Badge object has 8 different types: Arrow, Bookmark, Bootstrap-like badge, Flag, Stripe, Triangle, Ribbon and Shape (with more than 200 shape types). Badges can include both text and icons, and they can also incorporate animations to capture the visitor's attention.
  • Theme Manager:
  • New feature: Theme Manager has been 'resurrected'. WWB has supported themes for a long time, however previously they were only useful for jQuery UI widgets.
  • The Theme Manager has been updated to support almost all objects. Unlike jQuery UI widgets which require a pretty large CSS set. The new themes only have a small footprint.
  • New feature: Added 25 new themes inspired by Boot Swatch. Each of the new themes also has a dark theme variation, which allows the visitors of the website to choose between a light and dark theme. Just like you can with styles.

These items can then be used to adjust the price. For example, the size of a t-shirt, gift wrapping, glossy printing paper etc.
  • Extra options can increase or decrease the final price. Calculations are done automatically so there is no need to implement events or conditions!
  • Available options: checkbox, radio buttons, select / dropdown, price field, quantity field
  • New feature: Added support for shapes in Cards.
  • New feature: Added ‘Minimum height’ property for Text items. When working with text in cards, variations in text length often result in varying text heights, creating challenges when aligning other elements within the card, such as buttons placed at the bottom. To address this, you can now set a minimum height, ensuring consistent and predictable text heights for improved alignment.
  • New feature: Added the ability assign a link to Card text items.
  • New feature: Added support for events to Card text items.
  • Improved: Define the 'minimum height' directly within the card's properties, eliminating the need to configure it through the flex properties as was required before.

  • Section:
  • New feature: Added the ability to add links to text and shapes.
  • New feature: Added ecommerce functionality (see card for more details).
  • Card Repeater:
  • New feature: Added 'Card Repeater' object. A Card Repeater operates similarly to a Card Container, with a key distinction: all cards within it share the same layout and style. This means that any modification made to one card will automatically propagate to all other cards within the same container. Of course, the text can be different for each card!
  • Card Container:
  • New feature: Cards that are inside a Card container now have a 'clone' button. So, you can easily duplicate the selected card.
  • New feature: Added support for HTML5 semantic tags.
  • Google Fonts:
  • New feature: Added support for Variable fonts.
  • A variable font contains multiple variations of a typeface (such as weight, width, and slant) within a single file. This enables you to create a wide range of typographic styles and effects using just one font file, resulting in improved performance and more creative possibilities.
  • Variable fonts can have multiple axes of variation, which represent different attributes of the typeface. These axes can include weight (thin to bold), width (condensed to expanded), slant (italic to upright) and more. Each axis allows for a smooth transition between the extreme variations, giving you granular control over the visual appearance of text.
  • Spellings Checker:
  • New feature: All input fields for text now have the ability to check the spelling via the context menu.
  • Timer:
  • New feature: Introducing the new 'Visits' type option. This feature enables you to trigger a timer after a specified number of visits, making it perfect for showcasing introductory dialogs or special offers to new visitors. By default, the timer activates only once, but you also have the option to use a negative number. In this scenario, the count resets after every 'X' visits, allowing for repeated activations as needed.
  • New feature: Introducing the new 'Days' type option. You can now set up timers to activate after a specified number of days following the user's initial visit. By default, the timer activates only once, but you also have the option to use a negative number, which will restart the timer at regular intervals of 'x' days.
  • New feature: Added 'Date Range' option. This feature allows you to activate a timer within a specific date range, making it perfect for showcasing special offers or managing your store's operations during holidays and other designated periods.

  • Note: The state of these new features will be stored in local storage. If you want to reset the state while testing the website, you can access this via the browser's debugger console (Application -> Local Storage).
  • FTP Manager:
  • New feature: The FTP Manager has been redesigned. It now features a local and remote view, so you can easily copy files (and folders) between the server and your local drives, including drag & drop support. The local folder will be remembered for each publish profile.
  • New feature: Both views use shell icons, instead of the generic icons like in previous versions.
  • New feature: Added the ability to delete a folder and all its contents. Normally, it is not possible with FTP to delete a remote folder when it's not empty. But if you hold the SHIFT key while clicking the 'Delete' button then the FTP manager will recursively remove all files in the folder first.
  • New feature: It is now also possible to upload and download entire folders (including sub folders).
  • Flex Grid:
  • New feature: Added 'Visual grid editor'. The visual flex grid editor provides a user-friendly interface for effortlessly arranging grid items in specific row or column structures.
  • You can easily add rows and columns using the '+' and '-' buttons located at the right and bottom of the grid, respectively.
  • When you hover over an item, controls appear, allowing you to manage its appearance within the grid.
  • Adding new grid items is as simple as clicking the '+' button, while existing items can be resized using arrow buttons.

  • Form:
  • New feature: Added Honeypot Anti-Spam option.
  • The anti-spam honeypot is a hidden form field that bots can’t avoid filling, but it’s invisible to human users. If the hidden field is filled in, it’s a sign of spambot activity and can be blocked. If the field is not filled in, it indicates that the form was filled by a human user as intended. The name of the Honeypot Anti-Spam field name can be set in Form Properties -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous.
  • Make sure the field name is not the same as one of your existing input fields.
  • We've also created a new 'anti-spam' tutorial that provides an overview of the anti-spam features available in WYSIWYG Web Builder: https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forms_antispam.html

When you select 'default,' it will utilize PHP's built-in mail() function. Alternatively, you can choose the PHP Mailer option for other settings.

  • New feature: Form Wizard has undergone a makeover with the 'Aero' style. This not only gives the wizard a contemporary appearance but also allows for resizable windows, enhancing user experience.

When this option is enabled, any updates made to MySQL properties will automatically apply to all login objects.

This eliminates the need to configure each object individually, streamlining the process and ensuring consistent settings across all login objects.
  • Login Info:

  • Print Document prints the contents of the current window.
  • Print Element prints the contents of the specified object.
  • New feature: Added the ability to select a target (ID) for the JavaScript action. This makes it possible to use the selected ID in the code. For example: alert('$ID$') will result in alert('wb_Heading1'). This means that you no longer have to use a hardcoded ID. If you change the ID of the object in the project, then the code will automatically be updated.
  • New feature: Added ‘ondocumentready’ to object events. Previously, the 'ondocumentready' event was only accessible through Page events. But there may be situations where you prefer to associate the event directly with an object. This approach can facilitate actions such as seamless copying and pasting of objects with associated events across different pages, or preserving the object as an integral part of a block, which does not include page events.

  • Note: this only works with fonts that support this property (variable fonts).
  • New feature: Added 'backdrop-filter property. This lets you apply graphical effects such as blurring or color shifting to the area behind an element.

  • Improved: System file dialogs (Open, Save As) and Messages Boxes (Are you sure you want to quit, etc) are now also themed, like the rest of the user interface.
  • Content Management System:
  • New feature: Added support for 'SunEditor'. SunEditor is a lightweight, flexible, customizable WYSIWYG text editor with many features like pasting from Microsoft Word/Excel, advanced tables, media embed, images upload and much more: https://github.com/JiHong88/SunEditor
  • New feature: The software now has the capability to automatically install any missing CMS editors, eliminating the need for manual file copying on your part.
  • Rich Text Area:
  • New feature: Added 'Rich Text Area' object. This adds the ability to add third party WYSIWYG text editors to a website.
  • Rich Text Area supports the same editor as the CMS tools: summernote, sunedit, sceditor, trumbowyg etc.
  • Heading:
  • New feature: Added the ability to output the heading as paragraph <p>. This can be useful if you want to use specific heading features that are not available for standard text like 'text shadow', 'text stroke' or variable fonts.
  • Content Place Holder:
  • Improved: Content Place Holder now has all the generic background and border styling options, like gradients, patterns, background images, border styles etc.
  • Slide Menu:
  • Improved: Script has been converted to vanilla JavaScript (no longer uses jQuery) and moved to wb.slidemenu.min.js, to minimize duplicated code.
  • Improved: 'Enable uppercase folder names' has been replaced with 'text-transform'. It now also supports lowercase and capitalize.
  • New feature: Added transition duration and easing properties.
  • Drop Down Menu:
  • New feature: Added 'overflow' mode. There are times when the drop down has many menu items, and they begin to wrap (undesirable) as the page width decreases. Using overflow mode, you can automatically collapse the extra menu items into a dropdown menu on the right. When the viewport is wide enough, the menu items return to the horizontal menu. When there are no overflowing items, the dropdown menu is hidden.
  • Overflow menus are represented by a 'kebab' button, as the user clicks on the kebab, a horizontal list will appear with additional options to click.
  • A kebab menu is also known as the three dots menu, and the three vertical dots menu, is an icon used to open a menu with additional options.
  • Navigation:
  • New feature: Added 'synchronize with bookmarks'. This feature can dynamically update the menu based on bookmarks on the same page. This can be useful for 'single page' websites where menu items link to sections on the page. The menu text can be set via the new 'menu name' property available for all objects that can be used as bookmark: Bookmark, Layer, Layout Grid, Flex Grid, Flex Container and Heading.
  • New feature: Added 'text-transform' properties (uppercase, lowercase, capitalize). This feature allows you to easily control the capitalization of text. This can be useful when managing menu items, as it enables swift changes in casing without the need to manually.
  • Update each item. Moreover, when employing synchronization with the site manager, the text can automatically be made uppercase, lowercase or capitalize, streamlining the process further. This option is available in Breadcrumb, CSS Menu, Dropdown Menu, Go Menu, Layer Menu, Mega Menu, Menu bar, Navigation Bar, Overlay Menu, Panel Menu, Pagination, Responsive Menu, Tab Menu, Text Menu
  • Site Manager:
  • New feature (experimental): It is now possible to specify an (optional) icon in the menu name property of page properties. This icon will be used when 'Synchronize with Site Manager' is enabled in navigation objects.
  • For example: Home^home or About^user, where the text after the caret symbol is the name of the icon. Note: the icon should be a valid name in the selected icon library!
  • This is an experimental feature. It was designed for the site wizard so it can add icons to navigation automatically. But it may also be useful for other purposes...
  • New feature: When you clone a page where the page name ends with a number, the cloned page will have the same name but with the next higher number. For instance, if you change 'product1' it will turn into 'product2'.
  • Improved: When removing a page via the Site Manager, the previous item in the tree will be selected and the focus will return to the Site Manager.
  • Breadcrumb:
  • Improved: All style properties are now also accessible via the Property Inspector.
  • Pagination:
  • Improved: All style properties are now also accessible via the Property Inspector.
  • Site Tree / Table of Contents:

  • New feature: Added the ability to set a different font size for the column headings.
  • New feature: Added 'border radius' to button and sub menu properties.
  • New feature: Added transition duration and easing properties.
  • Improved: The layout of the Mega Menu is now implemented using CSS grid. This enhancement significantly streamlines the resulting HTML code.
  • Improved: Scripts have been rewritten in vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery)
  • Responsive Menu:
  • New feature: Added ‘Icon Offset’ property. This specifies the spacing between the icon and the text.
  • New feature: When the menu only has one item and the alignment is set to ‘center’, then the menu will behave as a single button. A use case for this feature could involve designing a vertical menu where the icon appears above the text. This distinctive layout is presently unachievable with any of the other navigation tools.
  • Improved: Script has been converted to vanilla JavaScript (no longer uses jQuery).
  • Overlay Menu:
  • New feature: Added 'Popup position' property. When the overlay menu is in ‘popup mode’, this specifies the alignment of the popup menu.
  • New feature: Added 'hamburger icon’ animations. When the hamburger icon is clicked, the bars will animation into a close symbol. There are 13 animation types.
  • New feature: Added the ability to hide the standard ‘close’ button of the fullscreen overlay menu. This may be useful when using a ‘sticky’ hamburger icon. In which case, the same button can be used to show/hide the overlay menu.
  • New feature: It is now possible to open the Overlay menu via the 'Show'event. For example, to trigger the menu via an icon, button, image or any other element that supports events.
  • Panel Menu:
  • New feature: Added ‘multiply’ animation. This animates the hamburger icon into a ‘close’ icon.
  • Gradients:
  • Improved: CSS output is now supported for all built-in gradients, eliminating the need for image fallbacks in the following styles: Linear from Center, Linear to Center, From Corner (down/right), From Corner (down/left), From Corner (up/right), From Corner (up/left). This results in cleaner and more efficient HTML output, enhancing performance.
  • Improved: The improved gradient styles were also added to all objects that previously did not support them: CSS menu, layer menu, mega menu, overlay menu, panel menu, slide menu, tab menu and styles.
  • Asset Manager:
  • New feature: Added the ability to rename files via the Asset Manager.
  • In the past, updating a file's name required a two-step process: manually renaming the file on the disk and then replacing it within the project.
  • Now, you can effortlessly rename files directly from the Asset Manager. This action not only changes the file's name on the disk but also automatically updates all references within the project.
  • If the file is used by multiple objects or pages, then it will be automatically updated for all instances!
  • Favorite Icon:
  • New feature: Added the ability to use SVG files in the icons section of the Page Properties. Recently browsers have allowed use of SVG, a vector format. SVG is able to scale up and down without quality loss, and can potentially be very small in size, they can also have embedded CSS, even embedded media queries. For example, to support light and dark themes.
  • Ready to use JavaScripts:
  • New feature: Added the ability to add a preview image. This will be displayed in the workspace as a place holder, instead of the text-based place holder.
  • New feature: Added ‘Google Maps Embed’ script. This makes it possible to embed Google Maps without the need for an API key.
  • JQuery UI Widgets:
  • New feature: Added properties for background repeat, background alignment and background size.
  • Affix:
  • Improved: The Affix script (previously part of Bootstrap), has been updated so it no longer uses jQuery. Also, the script is now initialized via data attributes instead of JavaScript.
  • Blocks:
  • Improved: 'Save as block' will remember the last selected category.
  • Help:
  • Improved: Added new help sections for Synchronize Navigation, Artificial Intelligence, Badges, Card Repeater and other new features.
  • Improved: Normalized font-size to 10pt. Previously the help had a mix of several different font sizes.
  • Other:
  • Renamed 'Theme colors' option to 'Swatch colors' to prevent confusion with Themes. Swatch colors control the color palette of the color picker tool.
  • Removed support for PHP4 because most built-in features require a newer version anyway. The minimum supported version is now 5.6.
  • Templates:
  • Added moe than 25 new new templates. As usual these are just some random ideas, to showcase what you can do with the new tools...

The functionality has been completely redesigned so it now includes other objects like headings, cards, navigation and even titles/descriptions of images!

In the case of text objects, the corresponding text will be highlighted, whereas for other matching objects, the object itself will be selected.

This update not only enhances the functionality of the find/replace feature but also lays the groundwork for future possibilities, such as translation (teaser?).

New in WYSIWYG Web Builder 18.0.0 (Nov 8, 2022)

  • Styles Everywhere:
  • New feature: Most built-in objects now have support for styles. This means that the colors and fonts of these objects can be controlled from one place (in the style manager).
  • Previously styles were only available for basic HTML elements like form elements (editbox, select, button etc) layers, text. In WWB18, even advanced elements like menus, login forms, jQuery UI/ Bootstrap widgets, shapes and images have style support!
  • It's even possible to use styles for the page background!
  • Styles can be useful to quickly update the styles of the entire website during design time, but it's also possible to make a style switcher for when the page it online... So, the visitor can choose its own style.
  • Dark Color Scheme:
  • One of the reasons why WWB18 has extended support for styles is to make it possible to introduce another cool new feature: CSS color schemes (dark / light).
  • Now you can create a different color scheme for web site visitors who prefer dark mode.
  • Normally, when you design a website it is for light mode only.
  • In the style manager, each color also has an (optional) dark color property, so you can set a different color for the background, text, border when the browser runs in dark mode.
  • Besides dark mode styles, WWB18 also has the possibility to invert the colors of an object for the dark color scheme. In that case, you do not have to use styles, but all colors will be inverted (negative).
  • Section:
  • New feature: Many WWB users love Cards, because they are easier to create great looking content blocks. WWB18 has a new design element called 'Section'. A Section works the same as a Card, but the main difference is that elements can be freely positioned (layered)! Each element can anchored positioned/anchored without effecting other elements in the same section, The alignment (horizontal/vertical) of an element can be left, center, right or stretched. Image and video automatically maintain their aspect ratio. Just like a card, Sections support dividers, animations/transitions, events and much more!
  • Protected Content:
  • New feature: Added the ability to show/hide elements based on the login status of users. Instead of creating a separate protected page, now it's also possible to protect specific content on a page.
  • Available options are: show for all users (default), show for login in users only, show for logged out users only, show for specific user groups (user roles).
  • For example, you can show a login button for user that are not logged in and a logout button for logged in users.
  • When an protected content for an object is enabled, then the workspace will render display and 'lock' icon in the lower right corner. The color of this icon can be set in Tools -> Option -> Grid and Guides. The icon overlay can also be disabled.
  • Protected Menu Items - Visibility Control of menu items based on the login status.
  • New feature: Added the ability to show/hide menus items based on the login status (logged in, logged out, group/user role).
  • This features is available for: Breadcrumb, CSS Menu, Dropdown Menu, Go Menu, Mega Menu, Menubar, Overlay Menu, Pagination, Panel Menu, Responsive Menu, Slide Menu, Tab menu and Text menu.
  • Mouse Effects:
  • New feature: Added 'Mouse Effects': Mouse Track and 3D tilt.
  • "Mouse Track" creates a sense of depth by making objects move in relation to the visitor’s mouse movement. The speed property controls the level of the effect.
  • "3d tilt' tilts the object according to the movement of the mouse. The angle sets the maximum tilt rotation (degrees).
  • Custom Scrollbars:
  • New feature: Added the ability to customize the scrollbars of web pages. Now you can make style scrollbars to match the rest of your design! There are properties to set the colors, width, border and radius.
  • Note that this is an experimental feature because Custom Scrollbars are not fully supported by all browsers yet. It works in Egde, Chrome, Safari and partially in FireFox.
  • Simplified Ribbon:
  • WWB18 has a new redesigned ribbon mode: Simplified Ribbon. The Simplified Ribbon is a combination between the classic toolbar and ribbon.
  • The Simplified Ribbon shows the commands in a single line which not only brings a modern interface to WWB but also frees up space to show more of the page you are working on.
  • Because there is less space available, all buttons might not be visible. If you want to switch back to the classic ribbon where you can see more commands, simply click the downward pointing arrow in the lower right corner of the ribbon to expand it. Use this arrow control to switch between the simplified and classic ribbon. It's also possible to switch between ribbon, classic menubar/toolbars and simplified ribbon in Tools -> Options -> User Interface -> User Interface
  • Icons Libraries:
  • New feature: Added 'User Collection' functionality. This make it possible to add icons to a custom collection so you have all your favorites icons in one place.
  • You add any icon form any icon library. The icons from the user collection will be saved in SVG format, so you can even remove the icon library from your computer if you no longer need the other icons!
  • Animations:
  • New feature: Added 'Alias' functionality. This make it possible to give animation an name that is easier to remember.
  • Over the years we have added many new animations. Most animations have technical names like 'transform-lightspeed-in' or 'transform-swing'.
  • By using an alias they can now be displayed as 'Lightspeed In' and 'Swing'. Internally, the software will still use the original name (because renaming the animation name would break existing websites, that use that animation).
  • So, an alias is only to make it easier to identify the animation. Note: when 'display aliases in user interface' is enabled then animations without an alias will not be displayed. Which can also be useful to hide less frequently used animations without removing them completely!
  • New feature: Added 'Copy / Paste' functionality. This makes it possible to copy/ paste animations and transitions between objects.
  • Stock Photo:
  • New feature: Added integration with for 'Pexels'. WWB already supported UnSplash and Pixabay, and now you can also easily use free stock photos, royalty free images & videos shared by creators on Pexels.com
  • Site Summary:
  • New feature: Added Site Summary option. The summary contains statistics about the web site project for informational purposes.
  • SEO Assistant:
  • New feature: Added "SEO targeting" functionality. This option uses the keywords from the page properties (Meta tags) and checks whether these words are actually used in the page title, description and main heading (h1).
  • New feature: Added check for page title length. The recommended number of characters for the page title is between 30 and 60 characters. The SEO Assistant will display a warning if the title is too short or long.
  • Sitemap:
  • New feature: Holding down the SHIFT key while changing the frequently or priority will apply the new value to all pages in the project.
  • Asset Manager:
  • New feature: Added filter type 'Linked files', displays a list of the downloads in the project.
  • New feature: Added filter type 'Extensions', displays a list of all the extensions used in the project.
  • New feature: Added the ability to copy the file list to the clipboard via the 'Copy' button.
  • Responsive Text:
  • New feature: Added "Responsive Text" object. This is a simplified text object. It only supports one type of font, color etc per object. This makes the object easier management in complex layout (for example when using style or dark mode). Unlike the standard text object, styles/classes apply to the entire object, not just the selected text. Also, the object produces cleaner HTML output, because it does not use any inline styles.
  • PayPal Shopping Cart:

  • A Table Of Contents is a list of links that lead to different sections on a page. They're particularly useful for long pages, as they highlight the critical sections of a page in order to improve the reader experience.
  • You may know Table Of Content from websites like Wikipedia. Everytime you preview or publish the page, WYSIWYG Web builder will scan the page for heading objects (H1, H2 etc) and update the list. You can also configure the list manually.
  • Ecommerce:
  • New feature: Added third party shopping cart checkout integration for Ecwid, Stripe, Snipcart, Paddle, PayPal, Gumroad and Vibracart Pro. The new ecommerce options are available in the events section. So, basically this means that any image, button, text or menu item that supports events can be turned into a checkout button for the supported Payment gateways.

Ecwid is an awesome e-commerce software platform that allows you to add shopping cart functionality to any current site and also get a mobile and Facebook store in one package.

  • Creating a basic account is free. Upgrade options available for advanced functionality (discount coupons, product downloads, Enhanced SEO capabilities and much more).
  • All functionality is based on standard Ecwid scripts, so your web shop will run on the Ecwid servers. You can setup products (like name, description, categories pricing, styling) via the Ecwid dashboard.
  • The following Ecwid widgets are supported:
  • ECWID - Product Browser :
  • This is the main container and it is mandatory; this will contain your products, categories, search results, the checkout options etc.

  • PayPal Shopping Cart:
  • New feature: Added 'PayPal Shopping Cart'. The PayPal Shopping Cart works in combination with the standard PayPal buttons from the Toolbox (Add to Cart and View Cart). But instead of redirecting the users to the PayPal website, the shopping cart will keep the users on your website until they checkout.

  • What's the difference of input masks and validation rules?
  • Input masks are about formatting; validation rules are about correctness of values
  • Note: there is no direct link between validation and input mask, so you wil need to make sure that the combination masking and validation makes sense.
  • This feature is based on Inputmask by Robin Herbots (https://github.com/RobinHerbots/Inputmask)
  • Range:
  • New feature: Added 'Range' object for use in forms. Implements a slider-like control for entering numbers. You can set a min and max value and steps to define the number intervals. For example: 0.5

  • New feature: Added Bootstrap-mode to spinner, in addition to jQuery UI mode. In Bootstrap mode, up and down buttons are displayed at the left and right side of the input field.
  • New feature: Added support for padding. This controls the left and right offset of the text and also affects the size of the spin buttons in Bootstrap mode.
  • New feature: Added text alignment property: left, center, right.

  • New feature: Added 'Local Server' preview type. This uses a local server for preview. One of the main reasons why this option was added is to make it possible to preview the website on a mobile device (via your local network) without having to publish the website. Another benefit is that you can add (optional) support for PHP or even setup a local MySQL database server with PHPMyAdmin.
  • PHP, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin should be installed separately. Note that PHP, MySQL support are currently experimental and we cannot give support on the setup of these third party tools.

  • Responsive Web Design:
  • New feature: Added 'need review' functionality. When using breakpoints, modifications in one view may also affect the layout in other breakpoints. For example, if you have added a new object then you may need to change the size or position in another breakpoint. WYSIWYG Web Builder now shows a 'needs review' icon for those breakpoiints to remind you about this. Also, the site manager can displays a list of pages were one or more breakpoints need to be reviewed. As soon as you switch the breakpoint, the 'needs review' state will be cleared.

  • Improved: Image now uses scrset instead of javascript for the retina image.
  • Improved: Lazy load script has been replaced with native HTML loading="lazy" attribute for better performance. Also applies to photo gallery and rollover images.

  • This is especially useful when opening untrusted links, in order to ensure they cannot tamper with the originating document via the Window.opener property.
  • 'noopener' instructs the browser to navigate to the target resource without granting the new browsing context access to the document that opened it.
  • 'noreferrer' means that no referer header will be included. Additionally, has the same effect as noopener.
  • New feature: Added the ability to add an "aria-label" to make links more accessible to people with disabilities. There is no dedicated property, but you can specify the aria-label text in the 'Title' property by using the ^ character.
  • For more information about aria-label is available here : https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/aria/ARIA8.html
  • Example:
  • Tooltip text^Label for screenreaders
  • This will result in the following HTML: <a href="./index.html" title="Tooltip text" aria-label="Label for screenreaders">This is a link</a>

  • In Windows 10 you can disable animation via Control Panel -> Turn off all unnecessary animations'. On the Mac: Accessibility -> Display -> Reduce motion
  • New feature: Added support for the ‘slim’ version of jQuery. The 'slim' version excludes the ajax and effects modules and is approximately 17Kb smaller than the full version of jQuery. You can select the slim version if you are just using basic features like simple events (without effects) or Bootstrap based widgets.
  • JQuery UI widgets require the full version because they use the effects module. Also, Instagram integration uses ajax so this also require the full version. So, make sure test all the functionality of the page to make sure everything works correct with the slim version.
  • Themeable Button:
  • New feature: Added 'show checkmark' option for checkbox and radio button mode. This specifies whether the optional checkmark is displayed on the button.

  • Other important changes:

The new tool makes it easier to convert existing mobile pages to standard pages with layout grids. All mobile specific elements will be converted to standard elements. Where possible, themes/swatches will be replaced by standard styles. Note that some features (like page transitions, AJAX page loading, swatches) are not available for standard HTML pages, so it's not possible to do a 100% perfect conversion.

However, this may cause issues if you have made changes to the website but the browser still loads the previous (cached) version of the files. When cache busting is enabled, unique suffixes will be added to the file paths of the CSS and JS files. This forces the browser to re-load the files code from the server.

  • New feature: Responsive styles in objects. Most objects now can have different fonts in breakpoints. Most objects can also have different backgrounds and text colors. Some objects like the photo gallery, text and the blog can have different columns in breakpoints.
  • Which properties of an object are responsive is documented in the help.
  • New feature: Responsive background styles in pages. You can configure different background properties for breakpoints, so a mobile layout can have a different background color or image.
  • Layout Grid:
  • New feature: Layout Grid. The Layout Grid can be used to create flexible multi column layouts that automatically adapt to the screen size. A grid can have up to 12 columns, with sizes in percentages. Objects that are dragged into a grid will automatically become floating.
  • For smaller (mobile) screens all columns are stacked based on the defined breakpoint.
  • This is a great new way to create flexible and responsive (Bootstrap-like) layouts!
  • Most WWB objects have been redesigned to take advanced of the layout grid.
  • For example, if an image is dragged into the layout grid then it will automatically become responsive: it uses the full width of the cell while keeping its aspect ratio. Text will always use the full width of the grid cell and YouTube videos can be configured to keep a 16:9 or 4:3 ratio while stretching.
  • The grid can be configured as fixed or fluid layout. A fixed grid will have the design time width and be centered in the browser window. A fluid grid will use the full width of the browser window and resize all cells accordingly.

  • New feature: Added 'FontAwesome Icon' object to easily add awesome (vector) icons.
  • The object supports hover, backgrounds, events, links, CSS3 animations and much more.

  • A Layer Menu is an advanced menu where the drop down menus are layers. This is great for creating advanced mega menus with images, text, form or any other object! The drop down layer can be positioned left, centered or at the right of the buttons. It is also possible to make the layer full width of the page.
  • Breadcrumb:
  • New feature: Added 'Breadcrumb' navigation.
  • Breadcrumbs are used to enhance the accessibility of a website by indicating the location using a navigational hierarchy.
  • You can either manually configure all links for the menu or automatically synchronize with Site manager. Also supports FontAwesome icons.
  • Pagination:
  • New feature: Added 'Pagination' navigation.
  • If you have a web site with lots of pages, you may wish to add the pagination object for easier navigation. You can either manually configure all links for the menu or automatically synchronize with Site manager. In that case the menu will automatically generate links with auto numbering and next/previous buttons.
  • This menu also works with the Content Management System.
  • Responsive Menu:
  • New feature: Added 'Responsive Menu' object.
  • This is a responsive, multi-level menu optimized for desktop computers and mobile (touch) devices which uses CSS only (no JavaScript!). On desktop computer the menu will display a standard drop down menu and on mobile devices it will display a multi-level stacked menu with the common ‘hamburger’ icon. The menu supports FontAwesome icons, ScrollSpy and Affix to give your website a modern look and feel.
  • ScrollSpy:
  • New feature: ScrollSpy is a navigation mechanism that automatically highlights the navigation buttons based on the scroll position to indicate the visitor where they are currently on the page. This feature works in combination with bookmarks.

  • Label:
  • The HTML Label Element () represents a caption for an item in a form (editbox, textarea, combobox, checkbox, radio button, file upload). The element provides a usability improvement for mouse users, because if the user clicks on the text within the element, it toggles the control. Screen readers and 'voice browsers' use the label to identify and use form inputs.

  • This option can be used to reduce the size of the generated HTML and may improve the performance of the page.
  • New feature: Added ‘Resources’ button to the HTML object. This option can be used to automatically include built-in scripts like jQuery. This can be useful when your code uses one of the built-in scripts but there are no other objects on the page that load the script. For example: jquery-1.11.3.min.js, jquery.ui.draggable.min.js, affix.min.js etc. This way to do not have to use a separate ‘File Publisher’ object.

New in WYSIWYG Web Builder 10.0.0 (Oct 14, 2014)

  • Responsive Web Design:
  • With the increase in popularity of browsing on mobile phones and tablets it is becoming essential to create web sites that are optimized to the needs of these users.
  • Previously you had to create different versions of the website and use scripts to redirect the visitor to the mobile version of the page.
  • WYSIWYG Web Builder 10 introduces 'Responsive Web Design' which allows you to create a single HTML page containing different variants of the layout, each optimized for specific device widths.
  • Your website will dynamically respond to the screen size of the visitor and display the layout most appropriate to their device.
  • These different variants are called 'breakpoints' and this concept is based on CSS3's media queries.
  • A breakpoint is separate 'view' of the page in WYSIWYG Web Builder. A page can have multiple breakpoints, each one optimized for a specific screen width.
  • For example, you can have the standard desktop layout, one for tablets (1024 px) and another one for mobile phones (320 px).
  • Mobile Web Design:
  • Create dedicated Mobile websites with the fully intregrated mobile web design tools
  • WYSIWYG Web Builder has a built-in designer for mobile web pages. This makes it easy to create a mobile version of your pages without the need to external software.
  • Mobile pages have a different toolset and creating a mobile website is slightly different that a regular website.
  • Mobile pages are based on jQuery Mobile, which is a framework for creating mobile web applications. jQuery Mobile works on all popular smartphones and tablets.
  • To make a web page 'responsive' it needs to be constructed in a different way. Unlike in standard WYSIWYG Web Builder layouts where you can drag & drop objects anywhere and where object have a fixed size and position, mobile objects need to adjust to the width of the screen. In most cases this means that the object will use the full width of the page. But it's also possible to set 'full width' to false in which case the objects will be 'inline', so they have a fixed width. By default all objects are placed next to each other (they are floating in the document), but there is also a layout grid available to arrange objects in rows and columns.
  • Another difference is the styling of objects. Unlike in a standard page, all jQuery mobile objects are styled by themes and swatches.
  • A swatch is one of several color schemes provided by your theme. A theme can support up to 26 swatches, each identified with a single-letter (A, B, C, D etc).
  • The built-in jQuery Mobile Theme Manager allows you to create any number of swatches for a custom theme.
  • The new built-in jQuery mobile theme designer can be used to create jQuery Mobile Theme.
  • Many new objects have been added jQuery Mobile specific objects. These objects are only available for mobile web pages:
  • Collapsible
  • Flip Switch
  • Footer
  • Header
  • Layout Grid
  • Listview
  • Nested Menu
  • Panel (slide from the side of the page)
  • Popup Menu
  • Responsive Table
  • Slider
  • Tabs
  • The following standard objects have been optimized for jQuery Mobile. Their appearance is also effected by the jQuery Mobile theme:
  • Button
  • Checkbox (supports multiple items)
  • Combobox
  • Editbox
  • Go Menu
  • Login
  • Logout
  • Navigation Bar
  • News Feed Ticker
  • Radio Button (supports multiple items)

  • New Feature: Added 40 new predefined animations to the Animation Manager.
