PAGEGRID Cloud
We are happy to present you our new cloud hosting service and some cool new features. We've also got a new site of the month to check out.
Cloud plans
With our new cloud service, it's easier than ever to create a website. Leave the hosting, installation and server updates to us so you can focus on designing your website. Start with our free plan and upgrade to unlock more features.
Self-hosting
Of course we still offer the option to host PAGEGRID yourself. You can even export an existing cloud website and install it on another server. Since PAGEGRID is based on the open source CMS ProcessWire, you have access to a powerful API and a flexible CMS to build even the most complicated websites.
Pin scroll animations
Elements can now be pinned to the screen for a certain scroll distance. When the scroll distance is exceeded, they are released and continue to scroll normally. This feature uses the native CSS position sticky and some javascript to update the scroll state.
Client-side resizing of images
The latest update brings support for client-side resizing of images uploaded through the inline file uploader. Once enabled images will be resized and compressed before they are uploaded to the server. This makes uploads faster and saves disc space. You can enable this option in the admin through the image field settings. For Cloud users it's always enabled.
Accordion Block
We added a new block that shows a vertically stacked set of clickable headings that can be expanded to show more content. Content can be added as child items, so you can be very flexible with the design of it.
Site of the month
Our latest site of the month is that of KONKAT Studio — a Hamburg based agency, providing services like branding, design and web development. The website combines a bold visual style with a unique user experience. Using PAGEGRID’s scroll interactions to create a side scrolling effect with nice animations.
