WebSite X5 2025.2: More images, more action, more audience
Published by Incomedia in WebSite X5 News · Tuesday 27 May 2025 · 5:15
The second update of 2025 is here, marking another milestone for WebSite X5. With this new version, we continue our commitment to constant improvement, which comes with every release: a project made of new features, optimizations, and thoughtful solutions for those who build websites every day.
In the previous version, we focused on a crucial topic: accessibility - providing tools and guidelines to create more inclusive websites that better comply with international standards.
With the new v2025.2, we’re turning our attention to what makes a real difference today: user experience, visibility, and workflow speed.
Whether you're already using WebSite X5 or considering getting started, one thing is certain: the software is alive, evolving, and growing alongside your projects.
Let’s take a look at some of the main new features introduced.
Put your website...in your users' pockets. Discover the new PWA function
Let’s start with one of the most interesting new features in this version: from now on, your website can be installed on smartphones, just like an App.
Thanks to the PWA function (Progressive Web App), it's all incredibly simple, both for you and your users. It only takes a couple of clicks on your end to activate it - WebSite X5 takes care of the rest. With just one tap, your users can add the website to their device’s Home screen. No stores, no complicated procedures.
Once installed, the website is easily accessible via a custom icon on the home screen and opens in full-screen mode. It's perfect for any kind of project, but just imagine how strategic it could be for online shops. Your customers will easily return to the store, browse the catalog, and place orders more quickly and directly.
And since we mentioned the user experience, we didn’t stop there.
Bring your pages to life. New effects for Objects and Pages.
With v2025.2, you can rely on new visual effects that make your content more dynamic.
It’s not only about “wow effects”: they’re useful tools to draw attention, highlight key areas of your page, and make the browsing experience more enjoyable.
Object effects were already available in previous versions, but now they’ve been enhanced: you can choose to activate them when the Object appears or while scrolling down the page. Moreover, you can make an Object stay fixed while the other elements of the row scroll past. By adjusting the duration and choosing the right effects, you can create truly impactful animations.
But that’s not all: now you can apply effects to whole Pages. Here too, you’ll find various options, with the ability to customize the transition duration and even the browser window color during page changes.
The outcome? A more dynamic and engaging browsing experience.
But if you really want to catch the eye... you also need the right image.
Find the right image in just a few clicks. Welcome, Pexels
We know how long the selection of the right image can take: that’s why we worked to make things easier for you.
Now, the integrated WebSite X5 library includes over 3 million free images from Pexels, in addition to the ones already available from Pixabay and Depositphotos. Pexels is one of the most popular platforms as far as royalty-free image quality and variety are concerned, and we’re happy to make them available for you!
What’s more, we've merged free and premium images into a single library, making it easier to search with the help of smart filters. You can search, filter then add the image you need without ever leaving the software.
You work faster, stay focused on your project, and give your website the look it deserves.
And if your project targets an international audience, there’s another important new feature to explore.
Open your website to new markets. Complete RTL (Right-To-Left) support.
Creating a website in a language like Arabic or Hebrew, where text flows from right to left, involves more than just right-aligning content. To deliver a consistent user experience, the entire layout needs to adapt.
With version 2025.2, WebSite X5 makes this otherwise complex process much easier. When you select an RTL language for your project, the software automatically takes care of everything: text, menus, and the overall structure are mirrored to ensure smooth, natural reading.
It’s a technical feature, for sure, but one with real strategic impact, especially if you're looking to expand into new markets like the Middle East or offer a more international e-commerce experience.
And here’s the best part: you don’t have to start from scratch. If your website is already multilingual, you can add an RTL version in just a few steps, keeping your project consistent and professional in every language.
Always a step ahead
Version after version, WebSite X5 keeps growing alongside its users.
With version 2025.2, we’ve introduced tools that improve usability, presentation, and accessibility to new audiences. And we’ll keep doing so, staying true to what sets us apart: an accessible interface, creative freedom, and everything you need to build a complete website.
