TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq:WIX), the leading global web development platform, announced today the launch of its new, completely redesigned website editor. With a unique and highly intuitive user interface, industry first features, integrated functionality, designer-made website templates and hundreds of pre-designed components, the Wix Editor sets a new standard in code-free web design providing users with a tailored experience designed to fit their business niche. Offering a highly visual and fun design experience, the new Wix Editor streamlines the learning curve and lets any user successfully create and publish the website they envision. This is the company's first full redesign of its cloud-based web editing software since launching the industry's first do-it-yourself HTML5 Editor in 2012. The new Wix Editor further solidifies Wix's technology leadership by setting a new global standard in code-free and accessible website design and ma nagement. "Recognizing that today's Internet users expect a personalized, intuitive and multi-faceted experience, we've created the industry's most comprehensive code-free editing software for creating a professional online presence," said Avishai Abrahami, Wix Co-Founder and CEO. "Based on the user's business category, the new Editor provides a tailored experience, where the features and capabilities most needed are at their fingertips. This isn't just a product improvement, it's a leap in what the market has come to expect from code-free platforms." Some of the industry-leading code-free features include:

Full screen strip layouts – Containing multiple design elements such as video, image galleries, text and more, these horizontal strips help split up the page into clear sections, allowing for stylistic variation. True to Wix's drag and drop technology, these strip containers can be edited and repositioned anywhere.

Full page video background – Users can upload their own videos or choose from Wix's free video background library to easily set up an eye-catching video background for their websites. Unique to the Wix Editor, all video backgrounds, whether full page or on a strip, can be customized by layering any design element, such as pattern overlays and color palettes, included in the Editor.

Single click Parallax effect – A first for code-free platforms, users can now give their website an added layer of dimension by adding a parallax scrolling effect with just single click.

Anchor menus and docking elements – Essential but not exclusive to long scrolling websites, Wix users can effortlessly create a smooth website navigation experience by utilizing Wix's new anchor menus and element docking feature.

Personalization and tailored features – Based on the users' profile, the Wix Editor will suggest design and business elements from both the Editor and the Wix App Market to give users the guidance necessary to create the most effective possible sites.

Verticalized templates – Dedicated templates built with business in mind and utilizing new design capabilities allowing users to more readily input key features while maintaining pure a drag and drop interface.

Contextual in-Editor support – The New Wix Editor provides users with intelligent and curated support throughout the design process without ever having to leave the Editor.

The new Wix Editor is based on a complete restructuring of the platform's codebase developed using Facebook's React technology. Offering a significantly leaner codebase, better modularization and improved testability, this new technology enables Wix to roll out features previously unseen in the code-free web design sector with unprecedented speed. 1 of 2
