Content element options

Each content element, regardless if text, images or whatever, has its own options which can be accessed and adjusted individually. Eg. It is possible to generate a frame for each element, assign a background color, and set the internal margins. Since you decide where a frame is to be drawn, you could, for example, set this element to have a width of 10 px, a grey line on the right and add a link to the bottom. Since all these factors are variable, you have many options for this.

Move content elements freely

You can individually move and reposition each content element on your webpage by drag-and-drop. Alternatively, you can also move all elements with our click-system. The first click activates the element, and the second click determines where this element should be moved to.
Copy: In order to copy elements, simply click the respective icon in the toolbar and then click on the location where you want the element to be copied to. It does not get any easier than this.

If background images are being used for specific areas, the positioning of these images is important. For example: if you decide to have an image that fills the entire background of your webpage, that image should be larger than one, in which you want to implement a header. We offer 5 options to scale the background: maximize – the image will be displayed as large as possible over the entire webpage without distortions, fill all – this will cause the image to jump to the maximum assigned area even it it will be distorted, select width and / or height, or you can keep the image in its original size.
