What's New

New Global Content Delivery System & Faster Loading Times

Now your photos are distributed among 200+ servers located around the world, ensuring your visitors are able to see your work quickly, no matter where they’re located. Depending on the location, the average speed increase is between 21% and 80%.

High-Resolution/Retina Logos

Now graphics that you use for your website’s logo can be retina-resolution, so they look crisp on high-resolution devices like the iPad and newer MacBooks. Just upload a logo graphic that’s twice as big as it needs to be, and the website will do the rest.

Improved Logo Graphic Handling

Logo graphics are also automatically resized to fit the available space on your website, so there’s no need to pre-resize your logo in Photoshop before uploading, it’s all done for you.

Translucent Colors

Our design editor now lets you select transparency for any color you choose, allowing you to create nice translucent/overlaid effects without having to learn CSS code.

Improvements to our ‘Sidebar’ Layout

We made it much easier to make horizontal-scrolling images scroll behind the sidebars, as well improved keyboard (left/right) navigation between images.

Customizable Sidebar Widths

Now you can adjust your sidebar’s width right from the design editor.

Improved Formatting for Mobile Devices

We made lots of small improvements to the way websites are displayed on small screens, particularly with sideways-scrolling photo galleries.

Improved Flickr Sets Formatting

Refinements were made to the way Flickr photo sets were displayed, improving the way each set’s thumbnail is displayed.

We included a new logos in our ‘social media link icons’ add-on, including Yelp and GitHub.
