Easy Form Styling

Styling your forms just got a whole lot easier with 2.7. Incorporating a new form theme framework, form theme (Orbital), and block styling options, moving forwards you can easily tweak the color scheme of your forms, alter the size of inputs, modify button styles, and much more, all from within the block editor – no CSS needed!

A Resdesigned Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard has been redesigned from the ground up to ensure a user-friendly experience that will quickly onboard new customers. And if you’re a seasoned customer in a hurry, we’ll know you’ll appreciate the faster setup times!
