Every design now offers three content widths: full, which uses the whole window, contained, which is the traditional centered column, and narrow, which is tighter still.
Caching is what makes a website fast: a page is built once and the built copy is handed to everybody who asks for it, instead of being assembled from scratch every time.
There is now a font setting on every design: a curated set of pairings, each one a heading face and a body face that are known to work together.
A press kit is the single link you send when somebody needs your material and you do not want to send five attachments.
Every design now takes two colors from you: an accent and a background. They flow through links, buttons, headings, your email signature and your business card.
You can now set a background texture on any template: paper, linen, concrete, fine grain, and a handful of others. It sits behind your content and changes nothing about the layout.
Every design now has a grayscale switch. On, and the whole site renders in black and white: photographs, accents, everything.
Coming soon is now a setting rather than a mode you get stuck in. Choose the design, write the text, switch it on, and switch it off when you are ready.
Two new coming soon designs are available. They are what your domain shows while the real site is being put together.

Every design in the template catalog has a new cover image, captured from the design itself with realistic content in it rather than drawn by hand.
The setup checklist on a new free actor website has been rewritten. Fewer steps, in a defensible order, with a clear finish line.
