We're excited to introduce Studio v1.7.0, offering better functionality and usability, as well our first Bootstrap 5 template for Studio, called ‘Agency’ and last but not least, a core Siteglide update: Custom Fields on Company Information.

Summary Video

NOTE: We’ve already improved the UX for the Save Structure button on Company Information Custom Fields, it’s now in the bottom bar so ignore that part of the recording!

New Features

Company Information Custom Fields

Expanded support for custom fields in company information making it even easier to have global site content you can update in one place.

First Bootstrap 5 Template: Agency

For those who prefer Bootstrap to Tailwind this is our first Studio Bootstrap template and it’s ideal for renewing your Agency website or could be used for various client projects.

It’s available in the Siteglide Marketplace as a Site Template (you get a fully copy of the whole site) as well as a Studio Theme you can install to any site that has Studio installed.

The site template is fully baked into Studio and Siteglide which saves a huge amount of time when setting up a new site. You’ll find it all hooked up with a Projects WebApp, Blog, Testimonials, FAQs, a Contact Form and more.

With Bootstrap templates we can’t control the styling as well as we can with Tailwind so in the Styling UI you can edit colours in the CustomCSS. This is something you likely do once though and doesn’t require client friendly controls.

Want to get started with these updates?

• To leverage the 'Agency' template and maximise the benefits of these updates create a new site from the Marketplace:
