Making your designing dreams a reality.
How many times have you been in a situation where you knew exactly what you wanted to say, but couldn’t find the right words to convey it? Well, that’s how designing a website can feel sometimes. With so many thoughts and ideas floating around your head, it’s hard to know where to start.
But this doesn’t need to be a problem anymore. With the updated Zoho Sites website builder, your website can be your canvas.
We have a new range of design features such as:
Pre-built website sections
We understand that even when you have content at your disposal, presentation and design may be a challenge. Content is key, so if you’re struggling with design, we provide layouts and templates that can help you showcase it brilliantly.
Dynamic backgrounds
You can now add videos and parallax images to the background of your web pages. By placing compelling visual imagery behind static page content, you’ll offer website visitors an engaging and immersive browsing experience.
More page elements
Explore our new page elements, like content containers, icons, and dividers. These additions give you more creative tools for experimenting with page design. Content containers allow you to organize and display your content in carousel, tabs, and accordion formats. Icons add visual appeal to your content. Dividers provide separation within a section.
Element editor
This update also expands the customizations available in the product. With pop-ups that appear whenever you add an element or section, your customizations will be quicker and more precise.
We would also like to welcome these new additions:
New UI
Our new UI is clutter-free, striking a balance between clean design and usability. You’ll be able to navigate within the builder easily.
Access restriction
You can make your website private, and restrict its visibility even within your organization. You can also publish websites solely for intranet usage.
Integrations
In addition to the integration that we already have with Zoho CRM, we’re now integrated with Zoho SalesIQ, Zoho PageSense, and Zoho Campaigns. We’re even integrated with a third-party app, MailChimp.
What motivated us?
Our users were quite satisfied with the first version of Zoho Sites. They felt that the no-code builder was easy to use. The only drawback was the lack of customization options which restricted their creativity. We got down to work and built Zoho Sites from scratch. Keeping the user’s suggestions and current design trends in mind, we came up with features that would facilitate much more creative control.
We know it’s been a long time coming, but we would like you to know that your suggestions have helped us tremendously in developing this version of Zoho Sites. We hope you enjoy the new builder, and continue to provide your valuable feedback. It’s what brought us this far in the first place.
