EverWeb 4.4 is here, and it’s packed with serious new features and enhancements. This isn’t just another update, it’s a total redesign under the hood. If you want your website to load faster, easier to design, more modern, and more flexible, this version is for you.

Let’s break down what’s new and why it matters, especially if you’re building websites for clients, small businesses, or just want something that works and looks great in all browser and on all desktop and mobile devices.

A Brand-New Engine for Your Website

EverWeb 4.4 brings a completely new web framework. What does that mean? It means everything your website is built on has been rebuilt for speed, flexibility, and modern web standards. Old image-based borders and outdated rendering methods are gone. Now, everything from shapes to borders to page layouts is handled with modern CSS. That means:

• Faster loading websites

• Smoother responsive behavior

• Better compatibility with all browsers

Your entire website is updated for modern web browsers and fast loading content with the push of the Publish button. No updates or changes are needed.

Scroll Effects: More Than Just Pretty Transitions

EverWeb 4.4’s Scroll Effects Engine gives you real control over what happens as visitors scroll through your site.

Want your navigation bar to pin to the top? Easy. Want elements to fade in, scale up, or rotate as you scroll? You got it. Want something to scroll slower (or faster) than the rest of the page? Now possible with the click of a button in EverWeb's inspector.

Now you can:

• Pin elements to the top, bottom, left, right of the browser window or let them push and stack up as you scroll

• Add live scroll actions like blur, fade, rotate, remove, scale, even background color changes

• Set custom scroll start points so animations trigger when you want at specific scroll positions

Imagine showcasing a product image that slowly fades in as you scroll, or keeping contact info pinned at the bottom of the screen. These effects aren’t just visual, they guide attention and keep important content in front of your visitors' eyes.

Meet Containers: More Flexibile Design Layouts

Containers are a brand new object type in EverWeb that let you group elements together in smart ways. You can choose from:

• Row layout – items line up side by side and shrink on smaller screens

• Column layout – stack vertically and adapt responsively

• Free Flow – place anything wherever you want inside the container

You can even embed Containers inside Containers. It’s perfect for building cards, sidebars, testimonials, service sections, or anything else that repeats with a pattern.

Want to quickly group several elements together? Select them, right-click → Contain As. That’s it.

Cleaner Workflow with Smart Labels & Inline Controls

There’s a new Selection Label system that makes working in EverWeb much easier. When you click an element, you’ll see a label that:

• Lets you drag the element from the label itself

• Has quick-access buttons to delete, access settings, or add new objects directly inside Responsive Rows or Containers

It’s small, but speeds up design noticeably.

Control Object Spacing & Padding

EverWeb 4.4 now gives you full margin and padding control for every element, including inside textboxes too. You can adjust all control margin and padding to fine tune spacing and white space in your website's design.

Live Mouse Effects & Real-Time Preview

Now when you add mouse hover or click effects, you can see them right in EverWeb's design canvas. No more guessing or switching to Preview mode just to see how it looks.

EverWeb 4.4 now supports additional settings in mouse hover and mouse click states;

• Color changes

• Shadows

• Borders

• Opacity transitions

• and more…

Perfect for your buttons, images, or interactive elements you want to bring to life.

More Visual Customization Features

• Independent Corner Radius: Set a different curve for each corner of a rectangle. Want a speech bubble shape? Easy.

• New Image Shadow Types: Add depth with both colored and image-based shadows

• Navigation Bar Enhancements: The active (selected) page can now use the same style as a mouse-down effect, letting your visitors see clearly which page they are currently on

New Contact Form, Video, and SEO Improvements

• Show Password Toggle in contact forms' SMTP settings to easily see which password is being used

• Drag-and-Drop Video Fill: Drop in a YouTube/Vimeo link or your own video file to add videos to your page; dropping an image sets the thumbnail for the Video fill setting

• Head Code Validator: If you’ve ever pasted in bad SEO or script code into the Header Code field, EverWeb can now check your code syntax and warn you of potential issues

• Improved Image Publishing: No more dealing with browser caching issues after updates

Cleaned Up, Streamlined, and Fixed

EverWeb 4.4 has also cleaned up many little details:

• Combined border/stroke settings into one panel

• Unified toolbar icons across Mac and Windows

• Fixed many bugs related to parallax, responsive images, margins, and copy/pasting

• New insert menu shortcuts for quickly adding video, maps, sliders and containers. This includes a right-click -> Add to Page option for adding any type of element or widget to your page

• Improved support for Google Fonts
