Mosaic is a new WordPress page builder from the makers of Smart Slider 3 and other plugins. This is the most full featured and polished version 1 that I’ve ever seen.  Mosaic is a good solution for site builders who want a no-code / low-code builder with lots of advanced features, but isn’t a tool just for developers.  I created a video with a full walk-though as well as a review of the pros and cons.

This article argues that the designer focus on the home page is misplaced today as more and more people are entering the sites through shared landing pages, targeted search, and AI links. While I think the author goes too far and think that the home page is still very important, there is some truth to the argument and some of the article suggestions are worth considering.

This looks like it will expand the designer’s options. The corner-shape property is used in conjunction with border-radius to define the shape of the curve. Currently at about 66% coverage it is still experimental, but the article suggests using it today as a progressive enhancement.

Congrats to the FluentCart team.
