As ecommerce brands place greater emphasis on owned channels and on site engagement, the tools used to capture attention and convert visitors are becoming more strategic within the MarTech ecosystem. Against this backdrop, Getsitecontrol has launched a redesigned widget builder for 2026, introducing an agile editing experience for creating website popups, forms, and teasers. The update is designed to give marketing teams full visual control without relying on developer resources.
The new widget editor is built on a modern flex based architecture that allows users to design professional, responsive widgets that adapt seamlessly to different screen sizes. According to Getsitecontrol, the redesign focuses on helping ecommerce teams create on brand experiences that capture visitor attention while remaining easy to manage and update. This release positions the platform as a more flexible solution for merchants looking to optimize lead capture and on site promotions.
A key addition to the redesigned editor is a visual component tree that displays the full structure of each widget within a sidebar. This view allows users to quickly locate individual elements such as text blocks, images, buttons, or form fields. Elements can be reordered using drag and drop or edited directly with a single click. By presenting a clear hierarchy, the editor simplifies the creation and management of complex widgets, including multi step forms, and removes friction caused by deeply nested layouts. An undo and redo capability spans all editor tabs, allowing users to confidently experiment while maintaining control over changes.

The update also introduces pixel level customization across every visual aspect of a widget. Users can now adjust margins, padding, alignment, sizes, colors, and positioning with precision. Animations can be added to enhance engagement, and appearance, typography, and layout settings can be customized separately for desktop and mobile. For teams that need advanced styling, a built in CSS editor enables class based customization directly within the interface, offering greater flexibility while staying within the platform environment.
Flex based layouts play a central role in the redesign, enabling users to arrange elements in virtually any configuration. From simple promotional popups to multi section forms with numerous components, the layout system automatically adapts designs to different devices and screen sizes. This approach ensures consistent presentation and usability across desktop, tablet, and mobile experiences.

To support quality assurance before launch, Getsitecontrol has also enhanced its preview capabilities. The new multi device preview mode allows users to test widgets across various screen resolutions and zoom levels. Live interaction testing makes it possible to see how popups and forms behave when visitors enter data or move through multi step workflows, reducing the risk of errors after publishing.
“Ecommerce teams need to run on site promotions and capture emails without relying on developers,” said Anthony S., Lead Developer at Getsitecontrol. “The new editor gives them complete visual control to design widgets that match their brand perfectly.”
For marketers, the redesigned widget builder reflects a broader industry shift toward no code and low code tools that balance creative freedom with operational efficiency. By streamlining design, testing, and responsiveness, Getsitecontrol is positioning its platform as a more powerful component of the modern ecommerce marketing stack.
