Here’s an update on what’s been going on at Pagecloud over the last several months! We’re always working to improve the Pagecloud platform through enhancements and new features. We’re also dedicated to improving your site’s security and performance.

Blog Improvements 

Widget

We’ve recently launched Pagecloud Blog Widgets! You can now add a list of blog posts to any of your site pages. Simply drag and drop the widget onto your page, filter and sort your posts, and style the widget to match your page aesthetic! 

Your blog widget will update automatically as you continue to publish posts. The blog widget grabs the data from your blog so you don’t have to manually update the widget. This type of “data-driven widget” is something we want to implement for future features.

Preview 

You can now preview your blog posts in the same UI as your page previews for a more cohesive experience. Navigate through your entire website in preview so you don't miss a thing! 

Pagecloud Start: Free plan expansion 

A Pagecloud free plan now includes a blog! You can publish unlimited blog posts, and add a blog widget to your one page website absolutely free. Just sign up for an account with an email and password and you can publish your site’s homepage.

Animations 

Pagecloud now has native animations that you can easily add to objects, columns, and sections on your page. Our animations included entrance animations that trigger as the user scrolls them into view, and attention seeking animations that trigger when the user interacts with the object (hover, click, etc.) 

Animations are available in your Editing Menu! Just click on an object and navigate to the Animations tab to get started.
