Let’s dive into the details of these enhancements and see how they can take your website to the next level.

Overlay Backdrop

Adding a sleek modern touch to your designs is easier than ever with the new overlay backdrop feature. You can now add a subtle blur effect to row overlays, creating a polished, professional look. This effect is perfect for highlighting content while maintaining a stylish aesthetic, especially when paired with vibrant background images.

Slider Continously Left-to-Right Scroll

Our popular slider feature has just gotten better! Now, you can configure sliders to scroll continuously in either a left-to-right or right-to-left direction. This enhancement is used in our recent redesign, where two sliders scroll in opposite directions, creating a dynamic and engaging visual experience. It’s perfect for showcasing portfolios, client logos, or product galleries.

Azure Maps

With Microsoft announcing the discontinuation of Bing Maps by June 30, 2025, we’ve proactively integrated Azure Maps into our Map module. This ensures uninterrupted functionality and brings additional mapping features. You can switch to Azure Maps to continue using Microsoft's mapping services.
