  • All these site templates can be visited as a demonstration, but also used to start your new website.
  • Have a nice tour!
  • Add real blogs to your site:
  • Easily blog or create new portal pages for your news, product catalogs, albums or other pages using new group topics. Thanks to new display possibilities but also to the presence of new information (date, author and keywords) your presentation pages will appear more modern, more readable and more interactive too for your visitors.
  • The Cocktails page and the Blog page of the NONA template show two examples of use.
  • Publish your site while continuing to work on it:
  • You can start publishing your site while continuing to work on it, for example by going to the "Settings" or "Topics" steps to make changes or checks. An orange badge appears at the top of TOWeb (next to the toweb logo) to remind you that the publication of your site is in progress and this badge turns green once the publication has been successfully completed (or red if a error occurred). With the Studio edition, you can start publishing a site while going to the "File > Open" screen to open and work on another site in a new TOWeb window.
  • Support de Google Analytics 4:
  • The Google Universal Analytics service will cease to operate permanently from July 1, 2023. Therefore, in order not to lose any analysis data or history of your sites, we invite you to migrate to the latest version of Google Analytics 4 now supported by TOWeb 11.
  • e-Commerce : SEO improvements of your products:
  • Optimization of the generation of product pages, catalog indexes and their meta-data for better Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of your online store.
  • Reuse existing images of your site:
  • In a paragraph, a photo album or a product page of catalogue, when clicking on a button to add one or more images, you now have the option of reusing one or more images already present on your site. To do this, you just have to press the CTRL key at the same time (and if you do not press the CTRL key, you will always be offered the normal window allowing you to add new images).
  • Reuse images from one topic to another will allow you to reduce the size of your site and minimize redundancies which are both useless and harmful to SEO.
  • New ON/OFF switch buttons:
  • A new "ON/OFF" switch button can be added to all the web forms of your site (including customizable fields of an order form). The button behave like a classic checkbox when a "yes/no" answer is expected but with a more visible appearance and customizable colors (from "Theme > CSS Editor > Site > General > Buttons > Buttons ON /OFF"). This new button is now systematically used by default also for all the validation actions needed on your site (when entering your site if you use a agreement page, during GDPR consents as well as when acceptance of your terms of use or sales).
  • Dynamic and adaptive forms:
  • Depending on whether they are switched on or off, the new ON/OFF buttons can allow you to make form fields appear or disappear. For example, if you have a quote request form with different options, activating an option may require the entry of additional information, thus making the presentation of your form more compact, clearer and better adapted to the choices selected by your visitors.
  • The form in the HiWayz template contains an example in which when the "Member" button is activated you must enter your identifier whereas when this button is deactivated you need to enter your email address and telephone number.
  • Save time when adding your photos, products and paragraphs:
  • Both in your albums and in your catalogs, you now have the possibility of adding your photos or products at the very beginning rather than systematically at the end in order to avoid having to reorganize them each time.
  • Similarly, inside a page, a new paragraph can now be added not only at the end or after a current paragraph but also at the very beginning of a topic in order to facilitate the creation of pages with the most recent information first. In addition, when creating a new paragraph, it becomes possible to define its bookmark and you can also create several instances of paragraphs aligned with each other (with or without margins) to set up the structure of your pages more quickly.
  • Improved user interface for more productivity:
  • In topic edit mode, contextual menus have been added to facilitate and improve your productivity. Thus, in the index page of an album, it becomes possible by right-clicking on a photo to replace it, delete it, move it directly or add one just after the selected one. The same also applies to catalog index pages. As for paragraphs of a page, it is no longer necessary to use the "Modify" button displayed on hover in the corner of a paragraph but you can directly right-click anywhere on the paragraph or one of its element in order to select it and have access to its properties (for example, a right-click on a paragraph photo will first offer you to replace it and a right-click on a paragraph title to edit it). The F2 keyboard shortcuts can be used to edit the title of a selected paragraph and CTRL+F2 for its text content. And if you have several websites you can also open or delete them directly using right-clicks.
  • Finally, for sites containing many topics, a button allows you to collapse/unfold all your groups and articles as well as your sub-menus (option accessible in the site menu management window).
  • Export & Import of Topics:
  • In "Topics" step, the "Duplicate" button ( ) now also allows you to export your current topic to a file (.twt) and the "Add" button ( ) allows you to import a section in order to facilitate the transfer of an entire topic from a site to another and/or to keep different versions of a topic.
  • Export & Import of Themes:
  • The "Open" ( ) and "Save" ( ) buttons of the theme's CSS editor now centralize both operations related to web and local themes, but also allow you to export your themes to a file (.twd) in order to be able to import them and reuse them from one site to another.
  • Highlight your important paragraphs:
  • A new "Alert" style can now be applied directly to paragraphs of your pages, allowing you to display all their content in a colored window to better attracts attention. A shadow effect can also be added to your alerts so that they stand out even more from other paragraphs and you can offer the possibility to your visitors to close them once read.
  • In addition, the number of usable "Custom" CSS styles applicable to your paragraphes has been increased to 9 (instead of 5 previously).
  • Publicize the addresses of your paragraphs:
  • A visitor to your site may sometimes be more interested in a specific paragraph on a page rather than the rest of it. In order to allow your visitors to keep the links to specific paragraphs and be able to directly come back to them, a new paragraph link button is now displayed when hovering over the titles of all paragraphs of your site.
  • This current page uses this feature that you can see and try by hovering over the paragraph titles of each TOWeb 11 new feature.
  • Create your link lists more easily:
  • A new "List of links" object can now be added to your paragraphs to more easily manage the creation of several links and their order of appearance. A list of links can be useful for example at the end of a page to encourage your visitors to visit other pages dealing with the same subject. Several presentations are possible: a simple list (without formatting), a numbered list, a bulleted list or as a clickable button with the list in its drop-down menu. The latter case can meet different needs such as taking up less space in your pages or using it to create secondary menus inside paragraphs aligned with each other or inside panels.
  • You can see an example of a list of links placed in a button at the bottom of the HiWayz template's homepage.
  • Add JavaScript actions to your links and buttons:
  • When creating a link or a button, you now have the option of performing actions by calling your JavaScript functions to bring more interactivity to your pages and dynamic operations adapted to your needs.
  • Boost your pages with TikTok videos:
  • The new "TikTok Video" object can be added in any paragraph. To add it you must use the "Embed" button located next to the desired video on TikTok.com and then click on the "Copy code" button. Once this is done, then return to TOWeb to use the "Paste" button located next to the "Code" field of your TikTok object.
  • Text transparency effect over background:
  • When a background image is used in a paragraph, it becomes possible to place its text in a centered manner and to apply a black or white background to it with a transparency effect allowing the background image to be seen through the letters of its text.
  • These new display options are available from the "Position" ( ) button of a paragraph using a background image.
  • The WestCanyons templates uses this effect in its homepage.
  • Export your catalogs to PDF files:
  • A product catalog can now be exported to a file in PDF format using the "Save as PDF" button located at the bottom of the catalog index page. If you wish to obtain a PDF file of a single product, you will also have to use this same button located at the end of your product page. Depending on your needs, each PDF file created can also start with an introductory page of your choice.
  • Publish your site with the security of the latest FTP standards in force:
  • A new version of the publication module even more efficient in updating your site's files on your web space (SSH core upgraded. Support for rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 SSH public key algorithms and improved support for HTTP proxies with SSH).

  • The payment buttons of e-Commerce sites were no longer displayed but an endless animation instead
  • The real-time stock Back-Office page could no longer display anything when this option was activated on an e-Commerce site

New in TOWeb 10.0.0.920 (Nov 27, 2021)

  • New website templates:
  • Most of the new E-COMMERCE features of version 10 are exploited by both the new site templates Wand and BikeProd and other majors features are used in VillaBella and HomeCare. All these site templates can be visited as a demonstration, but also used to start your new website.
  • Customer accounts:
  • When shopping from your e-commerce site, your customers can now create or connect to their customer account. The creation of an account is not mandatory, they can continue to shop as a guest. Registered customers will have a history and a follow-up of all their orders, and will be able to cancel them or to notify you upon their good delivery. You'll be able to create individual user coupons for registered users from the Back-Office of your site, and follow the total amount of purchased by your customers. The size of the button in your theme can be adjusted in the "size" field located in the "Font" tab and its margins in its "Box" tab to better adapt to your theme.
  • Images by sub-products:
  • It is now possible to display a subset of images specific to the sub-product selected by the visitor and this can be done in two different and complementary ways:
  • For the values of a sub-product category. For example if you sell t-shirts for which the visitor can choose Size, Type and Color (three categories likely to generate many possible combinations), you can ask to display a subset of images according to the Color selected by the visitor, as illustrated on this page.
  • For a specific combination of sub-product category. For example if you are selling a highly customizable product, you will be able to indicate for each possible combination which image(s) the visitor will see, as illustrated on this page.
  • To use this new function, you must add all the images that can be displayed in the first paragraph of the product sheet and choose the "Thumbnails" mode, then in the configuration of the sub-products indicate for a category value (a color, a size ...) or a combination of categories the list of images to display. For example if you add 10 images to a product which has customizable sizes and colors, you can indicate that for the color "Blue" you want the visitor to see the images "1, 2, 3", that for the color "Red" it will be the images "4, 5, 6" or that for a combination "Red / XL" it will be the images "7, 8".
  • New product pages:
  • The information of a product (price, size, type, color, ...) are now displayed aside its pictures in a layout perfectly displayed on smartphones:
  • a modern presentation with bigger pictures
  • sizes/types/ colors are now clickable buttons and no longer inconvenient drop-down lists
  • the choice of a product color can be done by clicking directly on its colored patches. To do this, simply select the desired color in the sub-product configuration window.
  • the quantity field can now be easily modified by clicking on the large "+" and "-" buttons
  • when the blog i-Service is activated on a catalog with star rating enabled, the customer rating for a product appears under its title.
  • the discount badges are now in SVG vector format for a perfect display
  • product and sub-product reference codes can now be up to 30 characters long (instead of 13 previously)
  • Easier shipping and payment mode selection:
  • In the checkout page, the icons of the shipping & payment modes are now in SVG format for a perfect display on all devices, and the selection of the shipping & payment mode is now done by clicking on large buttons for a better user experience on smartphones. Also, shipping modes are now sorted by prices (from the cheapest to the most expensive) to limit cart abandonment.
  • Re-designed checkout process:
  • Many changes have been made to the purchasing steps of a site in version 10, all in the sense of limiting cart abandonment:
  • A progress bar with big step numbers allows the customer to clearly see at what stage he is exactly in the process (especially on a smartphone). This has been shown to limit cart abandonment.
  • The shopping cart now displays less unnecessary data such as the unit price, but instead more useful information such as some thumbnails of the products ordered. A reassuring point for the customer when validating the content of its cart.
  • The quantities of the products present in the shopping cart can be changed much more easily (especially on smartphones) by clicking on large buttons.
  • Single-product shopping cart mode:
  • This new optional mode of the shopping cart allow only immediate purchases of one product at a time. This mode can be used for shops which sell services or products which by their nature are purchased individually and therefore do not require any cart management (unique product, services, etc). When this mode is activated in the shopping cart configuration options, your online store evolves as follows:
  • The shopping cart icon no longer appears in the site theme
  • The "Add to cart" and "View my cart" buttons on the product pages are replaced by a "Buy" button
  • When a "Buy" button is clicked, the visitor is redirected to the checkout process
  • The BikeProd template is an example of a site using the single-product mode
  • Stripe payment:
  • The Stripe online payment system is now supported. In addition to accepting major bank cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) Stripe also allows you to accept payment by SEPA bank transfer as well as other types of payments (iDEAL, Afterpay and Clearpay, Alipay, Becs Direct Debit, Boleto, EPS, Giropay, Klarna, OXXO, P24 and Sofort). This increasingly popular payment system is supported by many countries and in many currencies. For Stripe to work, a PHP version 5.6 or higher as well as the "curl" library must be installed on your server (which is generally the case) and your site must be secured by HTTPS with a TLS version 1.2 or higher. In case of doubt or problems, the TOWeb V10 PHP support test will tell you if your configuration meets these criteria. For more information, follow all our advice and recommendations on how to secure your site.
  • PHP 8 support:
  • Released at the end of 2020, version 8 of PHP begins to be installed and used more and more on web servers, especially because it's almost 20% faster than the previous version 7.4.
  • If your host offers or requires you to upgrade to version 8 of PHP to improve the performance of your site, you can do so at any time and complete peace of mind with TOWeb 10.
  • Blog and star rating improvements:
  • The star rating are now displayed with visitor comments. The stars are displayed as SVG picture for a perfect presentation on smartphones and their color can be customized. In a catalog product page, the note is displayed under the product title with a link to directly access the product reviews. Finally, the form for adding comments is now displayed next to the comments and no longer below (except on smartphones).
  • SVG images support:
  • It is now possible to insert SVG images into your pages. This vector image format is perfectly displayed on all screen size and is much lighter than traditional image formats. This is the ideal image format to use for icons or artwork. Most of the images provided with TOWeb (share buttons, language flags, discount badges ...) are now in this format. SVG illustrations can be found easily on the Internet, or on sites like https://undraw.co/illustrations.
  • Cards slider:
  • The "Card" object in a paragraph can now scroll all its elements horizontally. This can be useful when presenting your list of partners or sponsors, to highlight the list of your new products, to show a selection of user reviews, testimonials or photos (example in the VillaBella template).
  • Theme slider images links:
  • A link can now be set on image of the carousel to open a page of your choice. This new option allows visitors to navigate by just clicking on a carousel picture and simplify the memorization of your topics (pages, catalogs, albums, etc) because they also use this image on their pages.
  • Appearance effects on shifted paragraphs:
  • It is now possible to apply an appearance effect only to the content of a paragraph when positioned aside its background image. This new option is accessible from the "Position" property of a paragraph (option visible only when the paragraph has a background image). The possibility of applying an appearance effect to the entire paragraph also remains possible from its "Display" property. The new VillaBella template for example uses this effect on its home page
  • Full screen and Responsive search form:
  • In order to save space in the theme/design of certain sites (including on mobile devices) the search field of your site can now appear in full screen after clicking on its search button. To activate this, go to CSS editor of the "Theme", select the "Search box" element and activate its "Search button" option as well as its "Display the search field after clicking" option.
  • Background image only on the home page:
  • A new Theme option allows to apply a background image only to the content of your home page.
  • This option (accessible from the CSS editor of the "Theme" step in the "Background" properties of the "Site > Page > Page content > Topic > Content" element) thus allows you to make variations and new designs specific to your home page like for example in the HomeCare template.
  • Improved scroll down button:
  • In topics starting with a full page height paragraph, the "scroll down" button can now be animated (several times or endlessly) with a bounce or flutter effect (zoom in/out) in order to attract the attention of the visitor to continue his/her visit like for example in the new VillaBella template in which we also see that it is now centered at the bottom of the paragraph content and no longer centered in the middle of the page. This scroll down button as well as the scroll up bottom (returning towards the "top of page") also have now several possible customizations of their styles to better adapt to your theme or taste.
  • Smooth links navigation:
  • A new option "vertical scrolling" can be used on a link when pointing to another paragraph of the same page, thus allowing to have a progressive scrolling animation until the display of the target paragraph. This option can be used in particular when you use paragraphs combined with the "full height" option to allow smooth navigation from screen to screen when going down or up the page, such as for example in a "landing page" (ie. a long home page such as in the HomeCare template) or a "Powerpoint-style" web page composed of different screens (ie. tutorials, lessons, presentations, ...).
  • Improved accessibility and SEO:
  • The pages of your sites are now optimized to display an accessibility score of 100% and improve the user experience of your visitors. In addition, a new option also allows you to add the product pages of all your catalogs in your sitemap file to improve their visibility and their referencing to search engines like Google and Bing.
  • Symbols inside your texts and buttons:
  • More than 300 new symbols are now available in addition to all the existing icons you can add to any paragraphs of your web page.
  • This allows you to quickly insert characters such as ®, ™, §, № into your texts or buttons/links as well as mathematical symbols, Greek letters, currency symbols, playing cards and chess pieces, numbered bubbles (❶❷ ... ➀➁) and many other type of characters.
  • "Mobile first" site generation:
  • Most of the new features of this version 10 are intended to improve the user experience on smartphones, and the HTML and CSS code generated has been optimized in this sense.
  • Support of 312 new Google fonts:
  • Akaya, Allison, Alumni Sans, Andada Pro, Andika New Basic, Antonio, Are You Serious, Atkinson, Hyperlegible, Azeret Mono, Ballet, Be Vietnam Pro, Benne, Besley, Big Shoulders Inline, Big Shoulders Stencil, Birthstone, Bodoni Moda, Bona Nova, Bonheur Royale, Brygada 1918, Caramel, Carattere, Castoro, Cherish, Comforter, Dela Gothic One, Dongle, DotGothic16, Encode Sans SC, Ephesis, Estonia, Explora, Festive, Fleur De Leah, Flow Block, Flow Circular, Flow Rounded, Fraunces, Fuggles,...
