Are you bored with creating images and displaying text within a traditional box shape? With the new Builder Masked Image addon, you may display images in any shape you prefer and have the text wrap around that shape. Or you may select a shape to mask an image of your choice, so that it reveals only parts of the image within the selected shape.
This week, instead of the usual Customer Story, we’d like to feature the story of a regular contributor to the Themify Community. His name is Hogan Chua and he’s an avid YouTube tutorial creator, with his most popular video at over a million views. We’d like to thank him for giving our small but hardworking company a boost, and we hope you enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at how he developed his website and his informative YouTube channel!
The EU’s new data privacy regulations are fast approaching and if you own a website, this could affect you.
In brief, Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will enforce stricter regulations to data collection that impacts any EU citizen, regardless of where you and your website is based. These new regulations take effect on May 25, 2018.
This new regulation could affect the contact or info forms users fill out on your page. To comply with the GDPR, we’ve added an option in our Builder Contact addon. The new option will allow you to display a consent checkbox to your viewers with the text “I consent to my submitted data being collected and stored”, or something to that effect, anytime they fill out a contact form. The checkbox will be a required field that the viewer must select in order to submit the contact form.
In order to take advantage of this new feature, please update your Builder Contact addon to the latest version!

We're very excited to share to all of you a new addition to our customer story series. Introducing Nathalie Prevost a designer/developer from British Columbia. Together with our WordPress themes, this talented web designer has created beautiful eye-catching sites. Check out her featured sites below and read how she tried various web design tools but chose Themify as her go-to site builder:
Hi, my name is Nathalie Prevost and I am a designer/developer. I work out of British Columbia, Canada. While my career hasn’t focussed on web design, I have often been called on to do just that. I have been designing websites since there have been websites to design.
I was initially trained as a graphic designer and I wanted to expand the services I offered to my clients so I learned how to design and develop websites. I also like to find new ways to create and design new things, so when I have an idea that requires new skills, I just learn them :)
