Updates to Webflow and WordPress

As most of you will have noticed, the new Sommerseth Design AS website is built on the Webflow platform. We firmly believe that Webflow will gain, and already has, a unique position in a market overflowing with publishing and development tools. The best known are:

• WordPress
• Drupal
• Joomla
• Umbraco
• Craft
• Webflow
• Squarespace

As we've mentioned before, what's unique about Webflow is that it's built for designers. Visual development. It lets us make sure our design is preserved all the way to the launched site, and the user-friendliness for you as the end user is truly exceptional.

On to the news. Webflow has launched a whole range of new features between July and September:

• Multi-image fields for CMS and eCommerce
• Connect a lightbox to image and video fields
• Webflow WordPress plugin (yes, you read that right). Build the site in Webflow and activate the plugin in WordPress. Used in cases where the client absolutely insists on using WordPress
• Right-click to convert text links to link blocks (finally)
• After Effects and Lottie integration (opens up huge possibilities for animation on websites)
• Style forms (radio buttons and checkboxes) exactly the way you want

But we haven't forgotten WordPress. We still have a number of websites built in WordPress that will be maintained, and quite a few sites will still be built there based on the wishes of future and existing clients. WordPress 5.3 launches in October and comes packed with a range of new features, such as:

• Design changes in the interface
• Improvements to the Gutenberg block editor (image handling, columns etc.)
• WordPress admin email verification (finally)
• Security and bug fixes
