Webgirl Technology partners with websolutions by
maWebCenters for web design. We are very happy to announce the release of a new
set of features that will be sure to spice up your website and make editing a breeze.
Our first new feature is called Website Effects and as
you’ve probably guessed, this feature adds special effects to your website.
You can add them to all the different widgets your site is
comprised of. You can even combine effects for more advanced ways
that your website will attract visitors.

Effects
Settings
Not
only can you apply effects to your site now, but you can also adjust the finer
points of how they transition, where they end up on the page and so much more.
Below are a few other important aspects of effects that you’ll want
to learn:
Status
– Determines if the effect you have chosen will be displayed or not.
Direction
– Determines the direction that the effect will take place in. You can
try using negative values to have effects go in the opposite direction as well.
Bring
to Front – Displays the effect in front of other page content.
Transition
Effect – Secondary effect that occurs at the Start and/or the End of the
main effect’s duration.
Trigger
On – Action on which effect is triggered. Depending on the effect
you have chosen, options can include on hover, when top of widget is visible
or when bottom of widget is visible.
Duration
– Duration of time that effect takes place during.
Demo Mode
Lastly,
we are proud to present the newly created Demo mode. In the past, if you
wanted to see how your site would look and function exactly as it would when it
went live, you had to either Preview or Publish your site. That is no
longer the case. All you need to do is make whatever website edits you
want and click “Demo” in the top bar and your website will appear exactly as it
would if you were to publish it. This gives you an instantaneous view of
your site, without the need to go through the whole Publish process. This
will dramatically improve ease of use and time it takes to develop your
website.
We’ve
been working very hard to provide these wonderful new features and we hope you
enjoy using them, as much as we enjoyed developing them.

Effects, Demo Mode or any other features that we offer, please do not hesitate
