Upcoming features<\/h2>\n

WordPress variables<\/h3>\n

The next important release will include a simple way to display WordPress contextual variables in your pages. As for example the title of the post. Variables can be included wherever you can create textual content with Nimble. The syntax will be to wrap the variable between double braces. Like this for example: {{the_title}}<\/p>\n

This will pave the way for a simple template system for your pages. The workflow will be to create a page template, save it and reuse it another page, or for all your pages.<\/p>\n

New pre-built sections<\/h3>\n

New pre-built sections are being designed for the next important release : for features presentation, testimonials and team.<\/p>\n

Reusable sections<\/h3>\n

In the upcoming important release, you’ll be able to save and reuse sections\u00a0anywhere, with a new save<\/em> icon added to the section menu.<\/p>\n

Reusable templates<\/h3>\n

We are working on a templating system allowing users to save entire page templates, and apply them on a by-page pasis to other pages, or to all pages.<\/p>\n

Recently introduced features<\/h2>\n

– Double-click insertion<\/span><\/span> for sections and modules, in addition to the usual drag-and-drop<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Support for keyboard shortcuts to undo and redo, with the usual ctrl + z and ctrl + y.<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Menu module ( beta )<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Widget area module ( beta )<\/strong><\/p>\n

– A parallax background option<\/strong><\/p>\n

The parallax effect has becomed quite famous in web design. It basically creates the visual impression that the background is moving slower than the other page elements, which is a good way to create eye catching section content.<\/p>\n

You can see a live demo of the parallax effect on the first and last sections of this page.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
