Before 2.1, the builder showed a simplified version of each field. It was quick to build, but it meant switching to a preview to see what visitors would actually get.
The problem with previews
Every trip to a preview breaks your flow. Styling especially suffered: you would change a radius, open the preview, go back, and repeat.
What changed
The canvas now renders each field with the form’s real styles: colors, radius, spacing and the filled, outlined or underlined input variant. Selecting a field still shows its settings on the right, the same way blocks work in the WordPress editor.
Layouts came for free
Once the canvas showed real fields, side-by-side layouts became natural. Field widths let you place fields on a row and see the result immediately, instead of describing it in settings.
Built to feel like WordPress
We matched the WordPress 7 admin’s type, spacing and controls, so the builder feels like part of your site rather than a separate app. Let us know what you think at support@subtleforms.com.
