The benefit of sticky objects is that they are always visible. These tend to be stuck to the top edge of the browser window, sometimes to the left or right edge, and can’t be scrolled out of the window. Sticky (Floating) Items (Premium) Some websites have items on the page that stick on screen, and float over the page that scrolls below, often navigation controls, or social network icons. Some features are included only in Web Designer 11 Premium, as indicated in the headings below.


Each of these areas is described in more detail below. As with most Web Designer features, these require no scripting, no HTML, no programming, and can be applied with just a few clicks. Now this example is somewhat over-the-top in the use of these effects (and is a rather large download as a result), but it’s just an illustration of the type of effects that can be put on your website. The design of this website is as one long, vertically scrolling page, rather than multiple separate pages. These scale to always fill the browser width. Stretchy browser-wide panels including responsive full width photos. For example the ‘social network’ icons on the left side are a semi-transparent panel that remains in the same place as you scroll the document. These float over the content of the page stuck to the edge of the web browser window. Sticky panels across the top of the screen, the footer and left edge. These are as easy to add to any element on the page as selecting the Web Animation menu and the effect you want to apply. This Web Designer update also introduces easier and more powerful animations - mouse-over the various elements in the document to see some examples. Scroll down and you’ll see a number of other such animations. This website displays a number of contemporary web design features that are introduced with Web Designer 11, including… Animations on ‘reveal’ such as the headings that slide or fade in after the page has loaded.
