New Business Layouts and a Header Surprise!

powen · feature · news · jimdobusiness

Our designers just released some sparkling new layouts for JimdoBusiness. There are ten great new layouts, you can take a look at them all in the gallery below. They're ready to use, so if one looks right for your site, go for it! You can use it on your Jimdo site right now.

Make way for the new layouts!

Header Surprise: Transparency!

It's not just these layouts that are new -- there's also a handy new function you'll be sure to like: for all the new JimdoBusiness layouts (for certain other select layouts if you're a JimdoPro and JimdoBusiness users, too) you'll be able to set the header graphic to "transparent" so that your logo appears directly on top of the background.

Not sure what we mean? Just follow the "before" & "after" example below to see what a cool effect this can be!

Before

In our example we're starting out with a JimdoBusiness layout and the header image with the little ladybug. To set the header image to be transparent, choose the first "image" in the gallery. If you've done some work with image editors before, you might have seen the grey-and-whitesquares, which indicate transparency.

After

Now that the header image is transparent, we've uploaded an image as our logo (a feature for JimdoPro and JimdoBusiness users - have you tried it out yet?), and it appears directly on the wood-grain background. Pretty fancy, don't you think?

All that's left now is for you to try it out. Have fun with it! It's definitely worth it to play around with the new layouts, new backgrounds, and your logo. Your site will get a fresh new look! :)
