What's new in Makeswift
Updated on June 11, 2020
New features
Build faster with instant layouts
We've added a new tab to the page builder containing prebuilt layouts that use nothing but our basic components. You can quickly drop in navbars, hero sections, feature content, and many more, greatly speeding up your workflow. Use these layouts as starting points for your design, or even as placeholders for live prototypes.
Add motion to your pages with image carousels
The image carousel is the first of many dynamic components you'll be able to use in Makeswift. Configuring and customizing a carousel is as easy as it gets, and is responsive and touch-enabled out of the box. You can even change options for different devices, such as how many images to display or scroll at a time. Check out a live demo below.
Work together with live collaboration
Makeswift is built for teams. Now you and your teammates can work on the same page simultaneously. As you make edits to a page, your teammates will see those changes happen in real-time. We've also added avatars to the top of the page builder to let you know who's working alongside you.
New templates
We've added new page templates, including several pages that go together to form a complete event site. Click on the thumbnails below to see live previews.
