As 2024 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a year filled with exciting innovations and enhanced tools to help small businesses, creatives, and entrepreneurs build stunning websites, connect with their audiences, and simplify workflows. From game-changing updates to Zibster's Website Builder to new AI tools and layout designs, here’s a look back at our biggest milestones this year.

February: The Live Builder & Design Canvas

We kicked off 2024 with two massive improvements: the Live Builder and the Design Canvas.

Live Builder: See every change in real-time as you customize your website. Block colors, fonts, and images now update live, so what you see in the builder is exactly what your audience sees when your site goes live.

Design Canvas: Preview global design options for buttons, colors, and templates. No more constant back-and-forth—adjust your settings and view changes immediately in the canvas.

April: 48 New Fonts

Typography matters, and we expanded our font library with 48 new fonts. From elegant serifs to bold display fonts, you now have more options to match your brand’s personality.
