Every PageCloud object (as well as the page itself) has the ability to contain custom Javascript. You can add your own behaviors, interactions, animations and dynamic data injections from a CMS or database. PageCLoud even links up the object reference for you and provides a stub script with event handlers to get you started. Dragging a JS file from your desktop to your page will upload and link the script automatically!
If you make a change to a script, drag it in again to replace.
If you paste a <script> tag, it will automatically be added and linked up in the <head> - great for adding hosted libraries from Google CDN, like jQuery or others. PageCloud is a full front-end development environment. Objects can even reference each other and interact!
With the world’s smoothest visual editing experience, PageCloud has many unique features that you may not discover during your free trial.
If you don't find something you're looking for, PageCloud gives you the ability to manipulate the source code to do things we don’t offer out of the box.
Take a look below at a more detailed list of what’s included:
PageCloud Headers and Footers allow you to maintain a consistent design across all your pages. Make a change on one page. Watch it replicated across your entire site.
Don't worry about multiple break points and the challenges of responsive websites.
Simply design your desktop/tablet layout with pixel-perfect accuracy, and then completely customize it for mobile phones.
When signed in to PageCloud, you will notice a handy Edit Button when navigating your site. Want to make a change? Click Edit to jump into the WYSIWYG editor. No more abstract back-end logins!
PageCloud gives you the ability to create stunning effects by layering images and shapes on top of one another. With PageCloud, you get full control of the layer position, opacity, color, and more.
You can create groups with two or more selected objects. Once your content is grouped, it will be treated as a single object for functions like dragging, resizing, or duplicating. Double-click inside any group to edit your sub-layers.
Use the lock feature on any PageCloud object so it can't be edited or moved out of place. Locking down backgrounds or sections can come in handy when working on a page.
Hide any of the content you don't want your visitors to see. Hiding can be done on mobile or desktop to create a more customized experience.
PageCloud objects can be linked in multiple ways: links off-site, anchors on-page, or linked scripts. You can even drag in or paste a link onto a PageCloud object by holding SHIFT to instantly create a hyperlink.
Use the Editing Menu or some handy PageCloud shortcuts to quickly align or distribute your content. Evenly spreading out icons, links, or titles has never been faster.
With PageCloud, you are never restricted to a grid or a rigid template. To help create symmetry, alignment, and balance in your design, PageCloud offers automatic alignment guides that turn on as you move an object around your page. Use the CTRL or CMD shortcut to temporarily turn the guides off during a drag if they get in your way.
With PageCloud, you can rotate any object on your page. This is a simple effect that can create a unique, eye-catching look for your site.
Copy and paste an object, then, position it to your desired location. Once this is done, you can paste again to see PageCloud automatically recreate the alignment and spacing of the original objects.
Copy any color code (hex, RGB, HSL, etc.) to your clipboard and paste it onto one or more PageCloud object, including text, shapes, SVGs, and more!
Paste text directly from other applications or web pages to create a text object. If the font is recognized, it will even be retained and added to your font selection. Basic rich text formatting will be preserved.
PageCloud automatically creates color swatches from the most-used colors on your page. This helps you design faster and keep your color choices consistent.
Use the Squeegee tool (located on the top of any selected object) to help move your content up or down the page. All content below the Squeegee line will move while preserving relative positioning.
For precision work, use the arrow keys to move selected objects one pixel at a time. Hold down SHIFT to move the object 10 pixels at a time.
Extend images, colors, and videos to the edges of your browser window using the full-width toggle in the Editing Menu.
Dragging a file, such as a PDF, onto your page will automatically create a download button that you can style in any way you choose. Replace the file by dropping a new one over the button while holding SHIFT.
You can precisely specify the height and width of one or more objects using the size and position tab found in the Editing Menu.
PageCloud offers a collection of professionally designed themes to help you get started. Unlike rigid templates offered by some website builders, PageCloud Themes can be modified in any way you want!
PageCloud offers full support for SVGs (vector files). This file format loads quickly at any size and can be customized using the Editing Menu.
PageCloud's text editor has automatic spell checking built in.
With PageCloud, you can customize your text in seemingly endless ways: from the basics like font size, bolding, bulleted lists, heading tags, alignment, and indenting to the more refined edits, such as custom fonts, line height, character spacing, font weights, special characters, and raw HTML source.
The Side Panel is loaded with prebuilt elements to help you build faster: icons, buttons, shapes, forms, navigation, and more! Simply drag the elements onto your page and style them in any way you choose.
The web has always struggled with cross-browser layout incompatibilities.
PageCloud takes care of these inconsistencies, so you can be sure what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) on all browsers.
Don’t worry about making mistakes. Like most desktop apps, undo and redo are always available. You can undo as many times as you need to while still in the same editing session.
Select one or more objects and use the Editing Menu to change colors, borders, shadows, and nearly every other aspect of the objects on your pages.
Unlike other website platforms, PageCloud integrates with your clipboard to copy over the most popular file types - even from your desktop apps!
Copy and paste images directly from tools like Photoshop, Keynote, Sketch and more. Web-embeds like YouTube videos, OpenTable reservation widgets, Eventbrite invitations, and over 70 other integrations can be added with a simple copy and paste.
PageCloud is the only browser-based web editor that can match the fluid, visual design experience of desktop publishing. Many of the keyboard shortcuts to resize, mirror, rotate, snap, and clone are the same as those used in tools such as Photoshop, Keynote, and Sketch
PageCloud integrates with the entire Google Font library. Simply copy and paste any Google font sample onto your page and PageCloud will automatically add it to your font selection. You can style these fonts in the same way you would any other text.
Popular video hosting websites such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Wistia are all integrated with PageCloud. Just copy and paste (or drag and drop) an embed code or video URL, and a video player will automatically be created for you. You can also drag in or paste your own video files to create an editable player.
You have complete control over any video you add to PageCloud. Autoplay, loop, mute, and hide controls are just a few of the options available in the Editing Menu.
Drag in or paste Shopify product or catalog embedded widgets to e-commerce enable your PageCloud site. Maintain full control of your website's design while using Shopify's top-tier e-commerce backend.
While an image is selected, turn on image mode in the Editing Menu to enable cropping. Hold the SHIFT key while on the edges of your image to crop out what you don't want. You can edit the internal position of the image using the dropdown menu.
Make images gently zoom in or out upon page load or scrolling using the Editing Menu. This subtle motion, made popular by Ken Burns, makes your images come alive.
Provide alternative (ALT) text and custom filenames for you images to help with accessibility and SEO.
All images uploaded to PageCloud are automatically resized to load as fast as possible and at the ideal resolution for every device, including retina displays.
When you have a collection of photos you want to show off, select them all and convert them into a light-boxed slideshow or slider gallery. These popular effects can be achieved in a couple clicks using the Editing Menu.
To quickly replace an image, drag in or paste a new image file over your selected image while holding SHIFT. The new image will retain any styling that was previously added, including shadows, cropping, borders, and more!
PageCloud automatically recognizes the most popular social media embeds such as Instagram photos, Facebook reviews, Tweets, and much more. Simply drag in the URL or embed code, and PageCloud will automatically create the requested object.
Add Google Analytics, Facebook, or Twitter tracking pixels into your dashboard to start tracking the behavior and conversions of your site visitors.
Add Google Tag Manager to your site dashboard to enable the world's most powerful tag management system. Add events, track goal completions, and more! You can even set up A/B testing using Google Optimze.
A single PageCloud account can manage multiple sites (pay per site) - perfect for agencies and independent professionals with lots of site clients.
Connect any custom domain (including ones you already own) to your PageCloud website. Custom domains can be purchased through the Dashboard. Annual subscriptions come with a free custom domain for one year.
Benefit from one free year of professional branded email, Google Drive, Calendar, and other G Suite features with an annual subscription.

PageCloud is a fully managed service with hosting bundled in. There's nothing to install or upgrade - ever. Hosted on amazon Web Services (AWS), PageCloud is secure and available whenever you need it.
Connect your domain through our free Cloudflare partnership to benefit from SSL protection and faster load times.
While PageCloud’s visual editor should give you all the visual styling properties you could ever need, there may be advanced scenarios where injecting custom CSS is required. You can use the <head> to write your own custom CSS (style) block, or modify the style attribute of any object using the web inspector, or even link in full CSS files by dragging them in from your desktop.
When building multiple sites or pages, you may find yourself repeating certain actions such as arrangements of objects, adding scripts, applying properties, connecting to databases, etc. PageCloud allows you to package custom automation JavaScript into PageCloud Action files. An Action file can then later be dragged back onto a page to run the automation script. The action even goes onto the Undo stack, so you can “un-run” actions just as if you performed the action manually.
You may find yourself creating parts of pages that you like to reuse across many pages or sites. Just copy and paste them into a text file, and save them as a PageCloud Widget file (name.widget.html).
You can collect a library of PageCloud Widget files and drag them onto pages any time you'd like to “recreate” those widgets.
PageCloud is the only visual web designer in the world that lets you open the browser’s web inspector (DOM) and manipulate your page HTML directly. When you save your page, those DOM changes are saved too. The browser and web inspector themselves are now part of your toolkit for fine-grained code control over your pages.
Open up the CSS inspector and directly apply custom CSS to the nodes in your DOM. Those changes are valid and saved too. You can even open the Javascript console and type JavaScript or jQuery commands to operate on your page.
Any means by which you can manipulate the DOM is fair game. This is because PageCloud isn’t a “code generator”. It is a “DOM manipulator”, which preserves any bits of DOM you add or modify.
Most CMSs and web designers generate page code after running through a database, compiler, and various templates with each page load. PageCloud converts your pages into flat HTML files and caches them immediately on a CDN.
No databases, app servers, or compilation, and fewer network requests to load your pages. This means you are always working with the “theoretical maximum” page load performance simply by being on PageCloud’s unique architecture.
PageCloud's industry-leading support team offers expert support right in-app, even during your free trial.
