Your registration site shouldn’t look like it’s stuck in 2010.
If it’s doing all the work of convincing people to attend, it deserves a little star treatment too—and that’s exactly what these two updates are about:
- New Motion & Animation controls to bring key content to life
- A refreshed Site Designer canvas that makes building pages feel smoother, faster, and way more visual
Both updates will start rolling out later this month across your event website and registration form designers.
1. Motion & Animation: Let Your Content Steal the Spotlight
Imagine your hero image gently rising into view, your headline fading in just as someone scrolls, or your “Register Now” button giving a subtle pulse on hover.
That’s what the new Motion & Animation panel is built for: eye-catching, on-brand movement that feels modern—not cheesy or over the top.
You’ll see a new “Animate” option when you select supported widgets:
- Image widgets – hero shots, sponsor logos, speaker photos
- Text widgets – headlines, section intros, key stats
- Custom link buttons – your primary CTAs
For each widget, you can mix and match triggers like:
- On Page Load – make a bold first impression
- On Hover – give buttons and images a satisfying “I’m interactive” response
- On View – animate as elements scroll into view
- On Click – add a little delight when people take action
Then pick from curated animation styles—Scale, Rise, Fade, Expand, Bounce, Slide, Wipe, and more—and either:
- Use the preset (great if you just want “make this look nice”), or
- Fine-tune the feel with friendly controls for speed, direction, distance, and intensity
2. A Smoother, More Visual Site Designer Canvas
Alongside Motion & Animation, we’re giving the Site Designer canvas a quality-of-life upgrade so it feels more like building in a modern web tool and less like wrestling with side panels.
On canvas section controls
- Clearer section boundaries and labels
- On canvas controls to add, move, duplicate, and delete sections
- Smarter empty states that say “Add widgets” instead of leaving you guessing what to do next
Cleaner header & footer editing
- Locked header and footer areas are visually distinct
- It’s much clearer what’s “global” vs. what’s page specific
- You can confidently tweak navigation and branding without worrying you’ve broken the rest of the site
Friendlier widget interactions
- When you hover or select a widget, you’ll see obvious borders and a small toolbar
- Common actions like move, duplicate, or delete are right where you expect them—on the canvas
The end result: fewer clicks, less hunting around in menus, and a building experience that feels closer to what you’d expect from a modern design tool.
