Digital Accessibility On Tilda

We’ve made a lot of progress and keep on working to make the websites you create on Tilda user-friendly for most people, including those with disabilities. Here’s a detailed recap of how Tilda’s digital accessibility is developing.

OCTOBER 17, 2023

Easier Google Fonts Connection

Using fonts from the Google Fonts library has become easier than ever. Now you don’t need to browse the Google Fonts library, look for the font you like, select the styles, and copy the link. You can simply connect selected fonts directly in Tilda.

OCTOBER 13, 2023

You now have more flexibility in personalizing easing for each step of the animation. Previously, 5 basic types of easing were available: Linear, Ease-In, Ease-Out, Ease-In-Out, and Elastic-Fin. Now you can manually adjust easing, set precise values for this feature, as well as take advantage of 24 new types of easing.

Advanced Easing Settings In Step-by-Step Animation

The size of the Zero Block editor interface elements is no longer affected by zooming in/out of the workspace. Guides, grid lines, element borders, and rulers have been revamped to make your work in the editor more comfortable.

Optimized User Interface When Zooming In/Out

You can now apply changes to a page you’re designing in Zero Block without leaving the editor. Simply click "Publish" in the upper right corner and the page will be published.

One-Click Page Publishing In Zero Block

To display the button, open Artboard Settings → Zero Block Settings → Publish.

Each animation sequence runs once, then plays all the steps in reverse, and then starts over again, making it ideal for infinite loop animation. The setting is available for all animation events except for animation "On scroll."

Loop with Reverse in Step-by-Step Animation

The animation sequence runs only once—it won’t repeat until the page is refreshed. This is useful when the animated element needs to appear after a button click or hover and remain visible on the page. The setting is available for "on Hover" and "on Click" animation events.

Loop Once in Step-by-Step Animation

Overflow Setting For X & Y Axes

It is now possible to set separate overflow settings for the X and Y axes. This is handy if, for example, you want cards or reviews to scroll only horizontally, without vertical displacement.

Where to find: Artboard Settings → Position and Overflow.

You can now customize the settings for displaying a fixed Zero Block on the page for each resolution.

Zero Block Fixation Settings For Each Resolution

Where to find: Artboard Settings → Position and Overflow.

It is now possible to clear element settings for lower screen resolutions. This can come in handy if you don’t like the design of some of the mobile versions created earlier and want to quickly reset the design and start over.

Reset Element Settings In Lower Resolutions

Where to find: select one or more elements → right-click to access the context menu → Clear Adaptive Design.

Now the artboard can be scaled between 20% and 300% and moves relative to the cursor position. This range makes it easier to work with small details or complex animations with lots of elements when you need to zoom out the board as much as possible to see the full picture.

Extended Artboard Scale From 20% Up To 300%

You can now apply linear and radial gradient effects to vector elements. The feature works for the fill and stroke colors. You can also import and edit SVG files containing gradients created in other graphic editors.

Gradients & Masks In Vector Editor

Also, when importing SVG elements, masks are supported—they will be properly imported and ready to be modified on Tilda.

Zero Block Updates

OCTOBER 10, 2023

New Template Category: Link In Bio

In the new "Link in bio" category, you will find 25+ new templates that will help you spread the word on social media and messengers. Choose a template that suits your design and industry, introduce yourself, add your contact details, place products for sale, and much more.

OCTOBER 6, 2023

Members Area Updates

Side Menu Update

Groups and courses are now organized in drop-down lists for a more compact display and quick navigation to the Members Area Settings. If you have more than 15 groups or courses, a search box appears to make it easier to find the desired course or group.

In the Course Statistics, you can see how students are attending your course and completing their homework. This data will help you understand which lectures and assignments students enjoy and which are causing difficulties. Based on this data, you can improve your course and its completion rate.

Lecture Statistics in Online Courses

Where to find: in your project, open Members → Courses tab → Course Statistics.

If you hold the title of a group or course, you can drag the selected item to rearrange its position in the list. For example, you may want to move the course you work with most often to the top of the list.

OCTOBER 3, 2023

More Updates

In blocks ST300, ST305N, ST310N, ST315N, ST320N, and ST330 from the "Store" category, you can fix the purchase button on the product page in the mobile version.

Fixed purchase button on the product page for mobile versions

Where to find: Block Settings → Pop-Up → Fixed purchase button for mobile version.

In pre-designed blocks, you can now add a gradient for buttons and the background color of the block.

Gradient support for buttons and block background color

Where to find: Block Settings → Block Background Color, or Block Settings → Buttons → Background Color.

You can now set additional display options that will automatically be applied to all links on your website. New parameters:

• Underline Width
• Underline Color
• Link Color On Hover
• Underline color On Hover

Customized Link Style For the Entire Website

Where to find: Site Settings → Fonts and Colors → Colors → Advanced Settings.

When creating promo codes, you can now add a description for them. This comes in handy if you need to add notes about promo codes that are only visible to you.

Easy Page Navigation In the Editor

You can now navigate through your web pages using the drop-down list in the editor header. There you can also rename the current page, add a new one, or open the settings of any page.

The icon of a page that was not yet published is displayed in gray color; and if you have made changes but have not published them, a blue dot will appear next to the page icon.

To change the page order, just drag and drop them to the desired location. When there are many pages in the project, use search box to quickly find the right one.

AUGUST 23, 2023

You can turn any Zero Block into a pop-up using the modifier block Т1093 "Pop-up: Zero Block in pop-up" from the "Other" category. This comes in handy when you want to create an animated menu, a customized tooltip that appears on click, a promo pop-up, and many other things.

Zero Block In Pop-Up

You can now specify which screen resolution you want the guides to be displayed on. This way you can easily customize your workspace without wasting time on hiding guides that are not relevant for certain resolutions.

When you select an element, its size is highlighted on the rulers. You can see the exact X and Y coordinates, which makes positioning elements more comfortable. Highlighting works with single and multiple elements, as well as with groups.

The guide coordinates and settings bar is now fixed on the left side of the screen. This allows you to always see and quickly change guide coordinates, regardless of your location in the workspace.

Updated Guides

Highlighting Element Coordinates On Rulers

Flexible Background Image Positioning For Shapes

You can now customize the position of the image uploaded to Zero Block using the shape element. This allows you to quickly change the block layout and have more flexibility if the basic position options don’t work for you.

When the size of the shape is set in pixels, you can adjust the exact positioning of the background image. If the size is set in percentages, you can adjust the "focus," the part of the image that remains visible when the shape is stretched on different screens.

Zero Block Updates

Where to find: Select the shape → Settings → Background Image → Position.

AUGUST 17, 2023

Members Area Updates

You can now customize emails that are automatically sent to users when they perform certain actions.

Personalized Email Templates

The setting is available for the following emails:

• user signup in the personal account;
• adding a member to a group;
• password recovery;
• modifying an email/login;
• password update.

To create your own email, go to Members Area Settings → Mail Settings. Make sure you’ve chosen your website language in Site Settings before personalizing the emails for members.

When creating a course or online school on Tilda, you can now schedule delayed lecture posting. Two options are available:

Scheduling Lectures In Members Area

You can choose after which lecture to post the following one and how many hours, days, or weeks later to open it.

Use this feature if you want to automate the process of gradually accessing lectures. To set up delayed publication, create a new lecture or edit an existing one. Then select the desired parameter under "Show The Lecture After": Show on lecture completion or Show after the date.

Pending Group Membership Message

The member card now displays information about pending group membership if the option to automatically add members to the group is disabled.

You can enable this feature in the Settings of each group in your Members Area.

You can now add your own mail server. This is useful if you are planning to send more than 500 emails per hour.

Custom Mail Server

Where to find: Site Settings → Membership → Manage members → Members Area Settings → Mail Server Settings → Mail server.

Fonts and colors for the Members Area are now used from the project and can be modified in Site Settings → Fonts and Colors. To apply changes, open the Membership dashboard—the updates will take place automatically.
