What the Web Report Designer has in Store for You

The Web Report Designer includes numerous object types to edit and create, for example tables in the report container. Beside that, you can edit report parameters and layer definitions, as well as sum and user variables and much more. The convenience of the formula wizard is still available as well.

Benjamin Wassermann, Tech Lead Web Report Designer, explains the Web Report Designer from the developer’s perspective in our Reporting Blog and offers further technical insights.

How to Integrate the Web Report Designer in ASP.NET

Integration in the backend is very simple – just add a new controller to your application, deriving it from WebReportDesignerController and implement a few overrides. The most important one is to provide a List & Label instance:

In the frontend, you are completely free in terms of technology choice. In our Knowledgebase you find a code sample on how to use the Web Report Designer in React, Angular or Vue.js .

To integrate the Web Report Designer into your ASP.NET MVC application, you just need to create the following code as a new view:

If you use another technology like React, Angular or View.js in the frontend – just include the JavaScript file for the Web Report Designer and use the designer tag at the desired position in the HTML source code. Of course, this also works with Razor pages. The result may look like this:

Also, have a look at this complete example for an integration .

Can existing List & Label projects from the desktop version also be edited in the Web Report Designer?

When and in which List & Label editions will the Web Report Designer be available?

The Web Report Designer is included free of charge in the Enterprise Edition of List & Label 27.

Are there any additional costs for using the Web Report Designer?

In which frequency will further developments of the web report designer be done.

For improvements to the Web Report Designer, you don’t have to wait until the next List & Label release. We plan to provide incremental releases with new features on a regular interval.

Is a Windows environment still required for the backend?

Yes, the Web Report Designer requires a Windows environment in the backend.

Is the web-based version of the Web Report Designer additive or does it replace the previous locally installed version?

The Web Report Designer can be used optionally. It is an important addition for .NET web applications in order to provide a browser-based and platform-independent Designer. The previous, currently much more extensive desktop version is not affected by this and will still be available for a few versions as a transition technology.

Are you tired of manually creating reports or relying on expensive and complex reporting tools ?

Look no further than the world of open source drag-and-drop report builders.

With these tools, you can easily connect to your databases and quickly create custom reports without needing to know complex coding languages .

Understanding Drag And-Drop Report Builders

If you’re looking for a way to create professional reports without needing to learn complex coding languages, then drag-and-drop report builders are the solution you need.

These tools allow you to create reports with ease, using a simple drag-and-drop interface to customize the design and layout of your report.

In this section, we’ll take a closer look at what drag-and-drop report builders are, why they’re important, and how open source report builders can benefit your business.

Data Reporting Dashboard

The Importance of Open Source

One of the key benefits of using an open source drag-and-drop report builder is that it gives you complete control over the customization and design of your reports.

Unlike proprietary software, open source tools are freely available to anyone, and can be modified and improved by developers all over the world.

This means that you can customize your report builder to meet your specific needs, and benefit from the collective knowledge and expertise of the open source community.

With open source software, you have access to the source code, which means you can review it for any potential security vulnerabilities or bugs. This gives you greater peace of mind, knowing that your sensitive data is safe and secure.

In addition to the benefits of customization and security, open source report builders are also typically more cost-effective than proprietary alternatives.

Since open source software is freely available, you don’t need to pay licensing fees or subscription costs.

This can save your business a significant amount of money in the long run, while still providing you with the same level of functionality and ease-of-use as proprietary software.

Web Report Designer Overview

Telerik Web Report Designer is an HTML5/JavaScript/CSS3 jQuery-based widget that allows developers to embed a report designer into their web reporting applications. This way every business app can enable its users to design, stylize, and preview reports without leaving the web browser. The styling is based on the Kendo UI Sass Default theme. The Telerik Web Report Designer previews reports in an HTML5 Report Viewer.

The current version of the Web Report Designer offers beyond-basics functionality but is still under active development. Please give it a thorough review to make sure the designer fits your scenario before including it in a production project.

Web Report Designer elements

The Web Report Designer consists of the following areas:

Highlighting the Web Report Designer's main areas and functionalities.

  • Design surface - shows the design layout of the report. Provides tools for selecting, moving, resizing, and editing the report items.
  • Menu area - provides buttons for creating a new report and opening, saving, or previewing an already existing one. Also, allows switching between loaded reports and shows their saved state.
  • Properties area - displays the properties of the selected report item. In case multiple items are selected, shows only the properties that are marked as "mergeable", in other words, properties that can be applied to all items in the current selection. The list of the properties can be organized in categories or in alphabetical order.
  • Components - lists the available report components that can be added to the report. The items are organized in groups based on their type. The area supports two kinds of layout - grid and list. The list is the default view.
  • Explorer - represents the report structure in a tree-like view. Allows the selection of the visual and non-visual report components and configures their properties.
  • Assets Manager - enables users to organize resources in the Resource Storage of the server. Files and folders can be created, moved, renamed, and deleted, and files can also be uploaded and downloaded. It is accessible through the main menu. It is also used as an editor to select the source for a PictureBox, external stylesheets, CSV and JSON data source, and reports for Subreport items and ReportBooks (Combined Reports).
  • Search - provides the ability to search throughout all the designer areas: components, existing report items, or the available properties. Now you can add a new component, navigate to the needed report item, or change a property value with just a few keystrokes.
  • Onboarding Guide - The guide will walk you through the main tools used in the Web Report Designer. The guide is started automatically when the report designer is first loaded if it has not been run before. If the user has already seen the guide, it will not start on startup. The guide can also be manually restarted through the Search by typing "Start Onboarding" and selecting it from the dropdown or clicking enter. The content for each step of the guide is fully localizable.

How it works

The Web Report Designer uses a dedicated ASP.NET WebAPI REST service as a backend. The service is responsible for the storage operations like creating, opening or saving report definitions in a specified folder, as well as handling the various requests that concern server-side processing and rendering. The public methods of the service can be overwritten to adjust its functionality to a specific web reporting scenario.

Requirements:

  • The Web Report Designer can be integrated into any ASP.NET Web Application, both under .NET Framework 4.5.1+ or .NET 6+ .

The following NuGet packages are required:

  • Telerik.Reporting
  • Telerik.WebReportDesigner.Services

Prerequisites:

  • Web browser that supports JavaScript EcmaScript 6 : Google Chrome 77.0 or higher; Mozilla Firefox 69.0 or higher, Microsoft Edge 79 or higher.
  • jQuery 3.3.1 or later.
  • Kendo UI 2022.3.913 or later.
  • Telerik Report Viewer script. By default, it is requested from the service.
  • Web Report Designer script. By default, it is requested from the service.

All other scripts and styles will be provided by the Web Report Designer service when the designer widget is loaded. The list of loaded resources:

  • jQuery UI 1.12.1 library. We recommend using the version of jQuery UI subset that is served by the Web Report Designer service because it includes a fix related to the dragging and dropping components. The subset includes Draggable, Droppable, Resizable and their dependencies.
  • webReportDesigner.min.css stylesheet.
  • webReportDesignerTheme.css stylesheet.

The web report designer in our example is stylized using Roboto font . A link to a font of your preference can be added before creating the Web Designer widget on the page.

Kendo Widgets Requirements

Since the Web Report Designer uses Kendo UI for its template it is possible to use it even with a custom build instead of using the entire Kendo bundle. You may do this using the gulp build tool .

Below you can find the list of widgets that the Web Report Designer requires in order to work properly in your web reporting application. Note that the widgets have other dependencies. The Touch widget is required only for the gestures. Kendo's MVVM is a set of a few Kendo classes that facilitates the process of separating the model from the view. It is used when databinding the KendoUI widgets to some model data.

Required widgets:

  • Kendo Button
  • Kendo ButtonGroup
  • Kendo ComboBox
  • Kendo DateInput
  • Kendo DatePicker
  • Kendo DateTimePicker
  • Kendo DropDown
  • Kendo TreeGrid
  • Kendo Editor
  • Kendo FileManager
  • Kendo ListBox
  • Kendo ListView
  • Kendo MultiSelect
  • Kendo PanelBar
  • Kendo Slider
  • Kendo Splitter
  • Kendo TabStrip
  • Kendo Tooltip
  • Kendo TreeView
  • Kendo Upload
  • Kendo Window
  • Kendo Touch
  • Kendo Autocomplete
  • Kendo Stepper

The subset may be built with the following command:

  • Configure Web Report Designer and Create a Basic Report
  • Implement a Common Master-Detail Report Scenario with the Web Report Designer
  • How to set up in .NET applications
  • How to set up in .NET Framework application

Is It Enough To Have A Website Without Reporting Tools?

As the world becomes increasingly digital, having an online presence is crucial for businesses of all sizes. But simply having a website is not enough. 

To make the most of your online presence, it’s important to understand how your website is performing and what can be done to improve it. This is where web reports come in.

  • Meeting time can reduce by about 29% with data visualization. 
  • One of the key benefits of real-time data analysis is the ability to measure the success of your online presence to gauge the needs of your target audience and improve the user experience.
  • Another benefit of web reports is the ability to improve your website’s search engine rankings. 
  • SEO reports provide information about how well your website is ranking in search engines and what keywords are driving traffic to your site. 

This information can be used to optimize your website for search engines and improve your website’s visibility.

  • Finally, web reports provide valuable information about the design and functionality of your website. 

Design reports can show how well your website is designed for ease of navigation, mobile responsiveness, and page load speed. 

By understanding these elements, businesses can make improvements to their website to provide a better user experience for their visitors.

Create a form in Word that users can complete or print

In Word, you can create a form that others can fill out and save or print.  To do this, you will start with baseline content in a document, potentially via a form template.  Then you can add content controls for elements such as check boxes, text boxes, date pickers, and drop-down lists. Optionally, these content controls can be linked to database information.  Following are the recommended action steps in sequence.  

Show the Developer tab

In Word, be sure you have the Developer tab displayed in the ribbon.  (See how here:  Show the developer tab .)

Open a template or a blank document on which to base the form

You can start with a template or just start from scratch with a blank document.

Start with a form template

Go to File > New .

In the  Search for online templates  field, type  Forms or the kind of form you want. Then press Enter .

In the displayed results, right-click any item, then select  Create. 

Start with a blank document 

Select Blank document .

Add content to the form

Go to the  Developer  tab Controls section where you can choose controls to add to your document or form. Hover over any icon therein to see what control type it represents. The various control types are described below. You can set properties on a control once it has been inserted.

To delete a content control, right-click it, then select Remove content control  in the pop-up menu. 

Note:  You can print a form that was created via content controls. However, the boxes around the content controls will not print.

Insert a text control

The rich text content control enables users to format text (e.g., bold, italic) and type multiple paragraphs. To limit these capabilities, use the plain text content control . 

Click or tap where you want to insert the control.

Rich text control button

To learn about setting specific properties on these controls, see Set or change properties for content controls .

Insert a picture control

A picture control is most often used for templates, but you can also add a picture control to a form.

Picture control button

Insert a building block control

Use a building block control  when you want users to choose a specific block of text. These are helpful when you need to add different boilerplate text depending on the document's specific purpose. You can create rich text content controls for each version of the boilerplate text, and then use a building block control as the container for the rich text content controls.

building block gallery control

Select Developer and content controls for the building block.

How to Make an Ecommerce Website with WordPress

Sam Lauron

Published: February 12, 2024

As a writer, I’ve spent a lot of time digging into different industries, from social media to sales to ecommerce.

woman makes an online purchase via an ecommerce website on wordpress

Being equipped with all of this information and surrounded by inspiring examples of successful ecommerce businesses, I’ve played around with the idea of launching my own ecommerce website someday.

Download Now: How to Launch a WordPress Website  [Free Guide + Checklist]

If I ever decide to launch an ecommerce website, I want to make sure I’m choosing the best platform to set it up for success from the start. WordPress is one the first platforms that comes to mind, so I set out to learn more about how to make an ecommerce website with WordPress.

What Makes WordPress Great for Ecommerce

I’ve used WordPress throughout my near-decade-long marketing career, so I’m familiar with its powerful capabilities as an open-source platform and website builder. However, my experience has primarily involved using its CMS to manage and publish blogs.

As I set out to create an online shop, I want to stick with a platform I’m familiar with. However, I also want to make sure WordPress is a good platform for an ecommerce business. So, I asked a couple of experts about their experience.

Here’s what makes WordPress a great platform for ecommerce businesses, according to people who have used it.

Ease of Use

For those without technical experience, navigating the website-building aspect of an ecommerce shop can be a challenge. Not only do you have to make your website visually appealing, but your ecommerce site must also function as a store. This includes having an inventory and operating a checkout, among other complex features.

With WordPress drag-and-drop themes , you can design a fully functional ecommerce website without creating a single line of code.

This approachable UI appeals to non-coders like Adam Young, the CEO of Event Tickets Center , an online ticket marketplace.

“As someone who has struggled with other website-building programs, WordPress's drag-and-drop feature is revolutionary,” says Young. “This simple solution streamlines product management and empowers users like me to easily customize the store's design.”

Customizable Themes

Choosing the right theme for your ecommerce website sets the tone for the rest of your experience. A theme is like a pre-built template that you can install and customize. Fortunately, there are over 20,000 WordPress themes to choose from, and nearly half of them are free.

As long as you choose a theme that’s designed for ecommerce, you’re off to a great start.

There are a few elements that make for a successful ecommerce theme. First, your theme should make it easy to visually display your store’s products.

Another element to look out for is a seamless checkout process. The last thing you want is for a customer to add to their cart but not complete the purchase because the process was confusing or unclear.

“I've noticed through personal experience that choosing an ecommerce-focused WordPress theme is like building a digital storefront,” states Young. “These themes are built to smoothly combine online transaction elements like user-friendly product lists, shopping carts, and checkout processes.”

He continues, “A WordPress ecommerce theme quietly guides customers to the ‘Add to Cart’ button and ‘Checkout’ page beyond aesthetics. It helps convert casual visitors into delighted consumers.”

Plugins that Scale

Another unique feature of WordPress is its plugins.

Plugins are like apps. Instead of learning to code when you want to add a new feature or function to your website, you can choose from one of the thousands of plugins WordPress offers. Plugins make it easy to scale your business.

“WordPress's scalability has helped me build and expand an online business,” according to Michael Wall, founder of Codefixer , a software development and growth agency. “As a tiny firm with a few products, the platform easily supported my product inventory growth.”

He adds, “Plugins were crucial to the success of my WordPress ecommerce website.”

When it comes to ecommerce plugins, specifically, Wall recommends WooCommerce (we’ll get into more details about WooCommerce later in this article).

“WooCommerce changed the game by centralizing product management, order processing, payments, and shipping operations,” says Wall. “This ecommerce plugin integrated effortlessly with my WordPress site, making daily operations easy.”

Large Community and Expert Network

WordPress was founded 20 years ago, making it one of the most established website platforms out there. And because WordPress is used by 43.1% of all websites , it’s safe to assume that you or someone you know has experience using the platform.

Whether you’re looking to outsource website development or connect with other website owners for advice, you won’t have to look far. The WordPress community is vast and knowledgeable. You can check out a freelance marketplace like Upwork to hire WordPress developers or join an online group to chat with WordPress experts.

To help walk through the steps when making an ecommerce website on WordPress , I’m going to set up my own sample website as an example.

For this example, I’m going to use WordPress.com to set up a basic ecommerce site. You can sign up for a free plan to get started or a paid one if you want access to more features right away.

How to make an ecommerce website with WordPress: WordPress offers six plans ranging from free to enterprise-level.

Install Microsoft Report Builder

  • 15 contributors

Applies to: ✅ SQL Server 2016 (13.x) Reporting Services and later ✅ Power BI Report Server

Microsoft Reporting Services is a stand-alone app for authoring paginated reports, installed on your computer by you or an administrator. An administrator typically installs and configures Reporting Services, grants permission to download Reporting Services from the web portal, and manages folders and permissions to reports and shared datasets saved to the report server. For more information about Reporting Services administration, see Reporting Services report server (native mode) .

There are different ways to install Report Builder.

Your administrator can install Report Builder with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager .

And you can install it from several places:

  • The Microsoft Download Center .
  • The web portal of a report server .
  • The command line .

Are you looking for Power BI Report Builder instead? Head to the Microsoft Power BI Report Builder page on the Download Center.

System requirements

See the System requirements section of the Report Builder download page on the Microsoft Download Center.

Install Report Builder with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager

An administrator can use software such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to push the program to your computer. To learn how to use specific software to install Reporting Services, consult the documentation for the software. For more information, see Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager documentation .

Windows Vista and Windows 7 security features require elevated permissions to run command line operations and will prompt for permission to run the command line. The installation is not silent. To make the installation silent, you need to run the command line as an administrator.

Install Report Builder from the web portal

You can install Report Builder from a SharePoint library integrated with Reporting Services through SQL Server 2016.

You can start Reporting Services from a Reporting Services web portal or a SharePoint site integrated with Reporting Services. For information, see Start Report Builder .

SharePoint site integrated with Reporting Services

On a SharePoint site integrated with Reporting Services, if the New Document menu doesn't list Report Builder Report , Report Builder Model , and Report Data Source , their content types need to be added to the SharePoint library. For more information, see Add Reporting Services Content Types to a SharePoint Library .

Install Reporting Services from the download site

On the Report Builder page of the Microsoft Download Center , select Download .

After Reporting Services finishes downloading, select Run .

This step launches the SQL Server Reporting Services Wizard.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and select Next .

On the Default Target Server page, optionally provide the URL to the target report server if it's different from the default. Select Next .

If you'd like to work with Reporting Services when it's connected to a report server, it's convenient to provide the URL to the server at this time. You can also do this from the Options dialog box in Reporting Services.

Select Install to complete the installation of Reporting Services.

Install Report Builder from a share

Contact your administrator for the location of ReportBuilder.msi that you run to install Reporting Services on your local computer.

Browse to locate ReportBuilder.msi, the Windows Installer Package (MSI) for Reporting Services, and select it.

Complete rest of the steps in To install Report Builder from the download site .

Install Report Builder from the command line

You can also perform a command line installation of Reporting Services and provide arguments to customize the installation. In addition to the standard MSI intrinsic parameters, you can use the custom parameters that Reporting Services provides: RBINSTALLDIR and RBSERVERURL. RBINSTALLDIR specifies the root installation folder for Reporting Services. RBSERVERURL specifies the default report server that Reporting Services uses to save reports on the server.

If you want a silent installation, with no user interface interaction at all, specify the /quiet option. By design, the quiet option flag suppresses installation errors. It's therefore recommended that you include the /l option, which specifies logging, when you use the quiet option.

After Reporting Services finishes downloading, select Save .

On the Start menu, select Run .

In the Open box, enter cmd.

In the Command Prompt window, navigate to the folder where you saved ReportBuilder.msi.

Enter a command with the following format:

msiexec /i ReportBuilder.msi OPTION=OptionValue [OPTION=OptionValue]

The two options specific to installing Reporting Services are: RBINSTALLDIR and RBSERVERURL. You don't have to include these arguments in the command line. The following example is the baseline command:

msiexec /i ReportBuilder3_x86.msi /quiet

To run the command, press ENTER.

Set Reporting Services defaults

After you install Reporting Services, you can set some default options. Select File > Options .

Setting the default Reporting Services web portal or SharePoint site is the most useful. For more information, see Set default options for Report Builder .

Select Report Builder .

If you don't see the report server in the list of existing servers, close the Open Report dialog box and then select Connect at the bottom of Reporting Services to connect to the server.

Visual calculations 

A new way of doing calculations has arrived! You can now add calculations directly on your visual using visual calculations, which are DAX calculations that are defined and executed directly on a visual. A calculation can refer to any data in the visual, including columns, measures, or other visual calculations. This approach removes the complexity of the semantic model and simplifies the process of writing DAX. You can use visual calculations to complete common business calculations such as running sums or moving averages. Visual calculations make it easy to do calculations that were previously very hard or even almost impossible to do.

To use visual calculations while in preview, you need to enable it in Options and Settings  ➡️  Options  ➡️  Preview features . Select visual calculations and select OK . Visual calculations will be enabled after Desktop is restarted.

To add a visual calculation, you first need to select a visual. Next, select the New calculation button in the ribbon:

The new calculation button is shown on the Home tab of the ribbon in Power BI Desktop in the Calculations group.

To add a visual calculation, type the expression in the formula bar in the visual calculations edit mode that opens. For example, in a visual that contains Sales Amount and Total Product Cost by Fiscal Year , you can add a visual calculation that calculates the profit for each year by simply typing: Profit = [Sales Amount] – [Total Product Cost].

The visual matrix is updated as you add visual calculations using in the formula bar. New visual calculations are added as columns to the visual matrix.

Additionally, you can easily add a running sum of profit by writing:

Here is a visual with the two visual calculations we have just created:

A screenshot of a graph Description automatically generated

You can use many existing DAX functions in visual calculations. Functions specific to visual calculations are also available, such as RUNNINGSUM , PREVIOUS and MOVINGAVERAGE . Using these and other functions, visual calculations are much easier to read, write and maintain than the current DAX required.

We are only just getting started with this preview. There is a lot more that we have planned, so please stay tuned for updates in future releases. However, we invite you to jump in now!

For more information, read the dedicated blog post and documentation . Please try the preview today and let us know what you think .

Dynamic subscriptions for Power BI reports

Dynamic per recipient subscriptions is now available in Preview for Power BI reports! Like dynamic subscriptions for paginated reports , you can now distribute a personalized copy of a Power BI report to each recipient of an email subscription.

Imagine you have a report that includes sales data for your entire team. You want to schedule an email subscription that sends out a PDF copy of this report to each salesperson on a weekly basis, with the report filtered to only show their sales results.

This can now be done by connecting to a semantic model (previously Power BI dataset) that defines the mapping between recipients and respective filter values. When it’s time to send out the report, the latest data available in your semantic model will determine which employees should receive a report in their inbox, and with what filter values applied.

This February release we added multi-visual container format support ! Previously, when multi-selecting across different visual types, the format pane did not support any options for formatting the visuals. Now, when multi-selecting different visuals, we’ve added formatting support for container formatting such as changing the size, background color, adding a shadow or turning on/off titles in bulk.

When multi-selecting different visual types (e.g. a line chart and bar chart):

A screenshot of a graph, Visualizations. Order Quantity by Year, Sales by Category.

We’ve also added the ability to format a visual’s container size and position even if it’s empty:

A screenshot of a graph, Visualizations. Select or drag fields to populate the visual.

This month we also bring you a handful of quality improvements to the on-object experience:

  • Bug fix : when working with a non-visual (text box, button, image, shape) the build pane accidentally closing automatically. The build pane now stays open unless explicitly closed regardless of selected item type.
  • Bug fix : style bug where the build pane was showing 5 icons across instead of the usual 6 has been fixed.
  • Bug fix : in some cases, the data flyout was extending beyond the window size making the search box hard to use, this has now been fixed.
  • Enhancement : When choosing a field using the data flyout – you can now click anywhere on the name, not just the checkbox next to it to select the field.

5.Enhancement : If replacing a field in a visual that does not use an aggregation or date hierarchy (other dropdowns are disabled), we auto open the data dropdown to save an extra click.

SingleStore, we’re thrilled to inform you that our connector has now officially moved out of beta. We want to express our gratitude for your valuable feedback and for being an essential part of our beta journey. Your insights have played a crucial role in shaping the enhancements we’ve made.

This upgrade comes with an exciting new feature – you can now cancel running queries, hassle-free. No more queries running in the background after you refresh the UI/visual or navigate across the pages in the report.

Our team is dedicated to continuously improving and adding even more useful features to enhance your experience. Thank you for your ongoing support, and we can’t wait to continue providing you with top-notch features that elevate your data connectivity and reporting capabilities.

When you add the Power BI add-in to a presentation, you can pick a report suggested to you or paste a link to a specific report.

When you paste a standard report link (the URL copied from the browser address bar), and if sharable links are enabled for your organization and allowed for this report, you have re-share permissions to this report, Power BI add-in can replace the link you pasted with shareable link. In that case you will see a checkbox added below the report URL that offers you automatic access to this report. Just mark this checkbox and Power BI add-in will create a shareable link for you.

Using a sharable link ensures that other users viewing the presentation have the required permission to see the report, and do not need to request access when viewing the presentation.

Maximum connections per data source  is a setting to configure the maximum number of connections DirectQuery opens for each underlying data source. This controls the maximum number of queries that can be executed concurrently against each data source and is configurable per semantic model.

We recently updated the upper limit of the number of concurrent Direct Query connections allowed per semantic model. The updated limits for each SKU are listed in the table below.

The upper limit for Power BI PPU is 100 active connections. Note that there is no change to the Power BI Pro and Report Server limits and the default maximum value remains as 10 concurrent connections.

Introduced last September, shared device mode is now generally available! With shared device mode, organizations can safely deploy the Power BI mobile app across their pool of shared devices.  Check it out !

This API allows Custom Visuals to store data directly in the local browser. Data stored locally is more secure and improves the performance of web apps. The API will be controlled by a global admin setting. Learn more about the API.

Our February release introduces the support of the new on-object interaction. This enhancement allows users to build and customize visuals directly on the visual in Power BI Desktop. It puts common actions for creating and formatting visuals on the visuals themselves, actions such as adding fields, changing visualization types, and formatting text.

The primary objective of Power BI Desktop developer mode is to provide friendly source control and co-development experience. With this objective in mind, you can now save your Power BI Project files (PBIP) using  Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL)  format. TMDL has been designed from the ground up to be human-friendly, facilitating not only readability but also easy editing in any text editor. This represents a substantial enhancement for source control and collaborative development experiences, particularly when dealing with complex file diffs.  

Saving as a PBIP using TMDL is currently in preview. Before giving it a try, you must first enable this feature in Preview features: go to  File  >  Options and settings  >  Options  >  Preview features  and check the box next to “Store semantic model using TMDL format”.  

After enabling the preview feature, when saving as PBIP, your semantic model will be saved as a TMDL folder named “\definition” with separate files for each table, perspective, role, culture:  

After enabling the preview feature, when saving as PBIP, your semantic model will be saved as a TMDL folder named “\definition” with separate files for each table, perspective, role, culture: 

You can also upgrade existent PBIP files to TMDL , by just opening them and choosing “Upgrade” when you save:  

You can also upgrade existent PBIP files to TMDL, by just opening them and choosing “Upgrade” when you save: 

By default, Fabric Git Integration will still use Tabular Model Scripting Language (TMSL) to export the semantic model during the Public Preview. However, if the semantic model is imported into Fabric using TMDL, then Fabric Git Integration will export the definition into Git using TMDL in the event of any semantic model changes in the service.

Years ago, Stacey Barr introduced us to the magic of Control Charts. Magic it is, because it allows everyone to split their temporal data in two: random noise and real signals. And we all are looking for real signals, and don’t want to be distracted by random noise.

In our last release of the Control Chart XmR we have added several new features to make it even easier to find real signals and ignore random noise in your data.

First, we added a feature to allow any report consumer to override the applied rules. This allows everyone to analyze the effects of one specific rule or set of rules.

Have you ever wondered how to collaborate with your colleagues on sensitive data without compromising its security? Do you want to learn how to use Microsoft Purview Information Protection sensitivity labels to protect your data ?

If so, you’re in the right place! We’ll show you how to use sensitivity labels with protection to encrypt and protect your data, and how to enable more users to edit and republish encrypted PBIX files. By the end of this article, you’ll be able to collaborate more securely with your data in Power BI.

Protecting your data with Microsoft Purview

Compliance admins in your organization can use Microsoft Purview Information Protection  sensitivity labels  to manage their org’s sensitive data across different apps and services and meet regulatory and compliance requirements.

They define file protection policies for the sensitivity labels, which result in files being encrypted when such labels are applied, allowing only authorized users to open and edit these files in Office apps and Power BI Desktop.

Sensitivity labels are widely adopted by enterprises today and used to label and protect content in  Microsoft 365  apps such as Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook, and now in Power BI and Fabric as well.

All you have to do is enable Information Protection in Microsoft Fabric’s Admin Portal and let the labels do the rest.

A screenshot of a computer All you have to do is enable Information Protection in Microsoft Fabric’s Admin Portal and let the labels do the rest.

How Power BI Desktop enforces sensitivity label protection

In Power BI Desktop , we enforce label protection on PBIX files. To open a PBIX file, you either must be the label issuer or have one of the following usage rights .

These usage rights are elevated permissions, as they grant permission to change the sensitivity label. Because Power BI and Office apps use the same label policies, compliance admins may prefer not to grant these usage rights for Highly confidential labels. This might block you from collaborating with your colleagues when you’re sharing or downloading Power BI reports and trying to open them in the desktop app.

Collaborating and keeping label protection on PBIX files

By enabling “ Increase the number of users who can edit and republish encrypted PBIX files (preview) ” in your tenant, users that have been assigned with all of the following usage rights should be able to open, edit, and republish the protected PBIX file to the Power BI service:

  • View Content (VIEW)
  • Edit Content (DOCEDIT)
  • Save (EDIT)
  • Copy and extract content (EXTRACT)
  • Allow Macros (OBJMODEL)

Thus, users who were once restricted can now collaborate with protected files, while keeping protection consistent with the organizational policy.

Note: These usage rights are a sub-set of the “Co-Author” permissions preset in Microsoft Purview compliance center.

What are the restrictions and why?

In order to align with compliance requirements, users with these usage rights are lightly restricted while editing a protected PBIX file.

No exporting to unsupported formats –The user won’t be able to export to formats that don’t support sensitivity labels, such as CSV files.

No exporting to unsupported formats –The user won’t be able to export to formats that don’t support sensitivity labels, such as CSV files.

No label change – The user can’t change the label on the PBIX file.

A screenshot of a computer No label change - The user can't change the label on the PBIX file.

Republishing to the original workspace only

Republishing to the original workspace only

Why restrict republishing into the original workspace only?

To remain compliant, we must keep users from gaining more permissions, including Power BI permissions (i.e., Read, Write, Reshare and Build). Meaning that a user who wishes to publish should not be able to publish to a workspace that might grant them additional permissions through Workspace roles.

Additionally, this feature is meant for collaborating and sharing items that are more restricted than usual, and confidential data is usually managed in a dedicated workspace. This restriction will prevent users from publishing confidential data across the tenant.

Side note: The file must be published at least once for other users to be able to republish it to that specific workspace. If the file has not yet been published, then the latest label issuer (the one who set the protected label) or a user with sufficient usage rights must publish it and then share the file with the other editors.

How to enable it

Prerequisite: The compliance admin must assign you and your colleagues the proper permissions for that sensitivity label.

Next, Fabric/Power BI admins must enable the feature in Admin Portal > Information protection > Increase the number of users who can edit and republish encrypted PBIX files (preview).

In Power BI Desktop, users who would like to open and edit protected PBIX files must enable the feature by opening File > Options and settings > Options > Preview feature > Less elevated user support.

Final words

With this new feature, users can now collaborate more easily with other users when working on confidential data in Power BI Desktop, without any loss of protection along the way.

That is all for this month! Please continue sending us your feedback and do not forget to vote for other features that you would like to see in Power BI! We hope that you enjoy the update! If you installed Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft Store,  please leave us a review .

Also, don’t forget to vote on your favorite feature this month on our community website. 

As always, keep voting on  Ideas  to help us determine what to build next. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

  • ClickFunnels : Best for well-established businesses.
  • Wix : Best for small businesses looking to eventually scale up.
  • Shopify : Best for solo e-commerce.

Best for creating quick and simple websites

Strikingly

What you should know

Strikingly makes it very easy to put a quick and simple website together without much fuss, and the VIP plan removes plenty of the restraints of the next tier down. You’ll get unlimited products, a drag-and-drop builder, unlimited bandwidth, 100 GB of storage and a dedicated account manager for support. However, it doesn’t offer the design flexibility of other providers like Wix, Squarespace or Weebly, so if your needs are complex, you may get better value for money elsewhere.

Pros and cons

  • Great for quickly putting together a simple website with a drag-and-drop editor.
  • Dedicated account manager with the VIP plan.
  • Free 14-day trial for all price plans.
  • Limited features make it unsuitable for complex website designs.
  • Storage is capped at 100 GB.
  • A custom domain name is only available with an annual plan.

Best for experienced bloggers

Wordpress.com.

WordPress.com

WordPress is one of the biggest website-building and blogging services in the world and is used by millions of individuals and businesses. However, it’s not the most straightforward of the builders on our list, so we’d recommend it for experienced bloggers who know how to derive the best value out of its powerful blogging tools and customization capabilities. It also represents a fairly significant annual investment, so if content is a major part of your business strategy, then we’d recommend it. Otherwise, there are simpler and more affordable options.

  • Allows a high degree of customization and a range of premium themes.
  • Designed for blogging with social media integration and commenting.
  • Huge variety of useful paid and free plugins.
  • Steeper learning curve than other website builders.
  • Storage cap of 50GB for website media.
  • Relatively expensive compared to other providers and plans.

Best for well-established businesses

Clickfunnels.

ClickFunnels

ClickFunnels is one of the most expensive website builders out there, which is why it is better for well-established – and preferably larger – businesses. Its basic plan, which is $147 per month, allows your business to have one website, one domain, three users and unlimited pages and products.

The company’s highest plan – Funnel Hacker – is $497 per month with the ability to create three websites, have nine domains and 15 users instead of only three. However, that is a hefty cost for a website builder when comparing it to others on this list.

  • Comes with 14-day free trial.
  • Unlimited workflows, pages and products with all plans.
  • Unlimited hosting included with all plans.
  • Much more expensive than most other website builders.
  • Limited amount of users on basic plan, despite high price.

Best for small businesses looking to eventually scale up

Wix

Wix offers a powerful and easy-to-use website builder for all of its plans, but the Wix Business plan amps up the capabilities. It offers:

  • Double the storage (100 GB) and video hours (10) of its Core plan.
  • Advanced shipping.
  • 250 dropshipping products.
  • 1,000 KudoBuzz reviews.
  • Five currencies.

It’s a big step up for businesses looking to take advantage of an intuitive and attractive website builder and increase sales.

In addition, Wix’s Business Elite option offers a significant step up both in terms of cost and capabilities. This is why we recommend it for businesses looking to scale up and invest in their website capabilities. It offers advanced marketing, analytic and e-commerce features, unlimited storage space, customized reports and priority customer care that becomes useful for larger operations.

  • Advanced marketing, analytics and e-commerce features for growing businesses.
  • An easy-to-use drag-and-drop platform with a library of over 800 templates.
  • 24/7 priority customer care with VIP phone support and personalized training.
  • Expensive compared to other providers and plans.
  • Migration to and from other platforms can be challenging.
  • Advanced e-commerce, marketing and analytics features only with higher tiers.

Best for solo e-commerce

Shopify

Shopify is designed for sellers. The Basic plan offers a reliable and trustworthy digital shopfront with excellent functionality, including dropshipping capabilities. While you don’t get your own domain, if you’re a solo entrepreneur and you want to focus more on selling your wares, then Shopify offers an excellent starter platform. With unlimited products, lots of free and paid e-commerce templates, third-party apps, API access and always-available support, it’s an industry leader in e-commerce.

  • Centered around e-commerce.
  • Offers plenty of useful features and free templates.
  • 24/7 customer support.
  • No free domain name.
  • Limited tools for creating and managing content.
  • Expensive premium plans for companies that plan to upgrade.

Best for e-commerce businesses on a budget

Weebly

Note: Weebly has been acquired by Square and no longer offers these services.

Weebly is one of the simplest website builders available, and it offers a free version. Weebly’s $10-per-month Personal plan is a great first step for solo creators and entrepreneurs wanting to showcase their work and skills. With a range of attractive themes, unlimited bandwidth, the ability to sell items and useful but somewhat simple features for selling, it’s functional while still being a modest financial commitment.

In addition, for a relatively modest price of $12 per month, the Professional plan offers a lot. You’ll get unlimited storage and bandwidth, unlimited products and no ads for less than half the price of the Wix Business plan ($32 a month) and cheaper than Squarespace’s Business Plan ($23 a month).

Alongside a free domain for a year (when you purchase the yearly plan), access to phone support, inventory management, marketing tools and password protection make it a strong offering for businesses on a budget.

Weebly’s next step up from the Professional plan is its Performance plan. At $26 per month, it boosts e-commerce capabilities with extra features like item reviews, abandoned cart emails and the ability to accept PayPal payments.

Plans are complemented by extra insights into store performance, engagement with marketing emails, traffic from referrals and monthly SEO audits. However, while it’s an affordable option compared to other providers, you’ll get more website-building and blogging freedom with services like Wix and Squarespace.

  • Relatively affordable.
  • Easy to use.
  • A range of extra e-commerce features like item reviews and abandoned cart emails.
  • Limited customer support hours.
  • Limited customization and theme variation.
  • Blogging features are weaker than other providers.

Best for powerful and stunning websites

Squarespace

Squarespace is hugely popular for a reason. It’s easy to use and offers visually beautiful website designs. The Advanced Commerce plan adds a range of powerful features like advanced shipping and discounting, subscriptions and commerce APIs for custom integrations. These can be useful for businesses of all sizes that are aiming to grow and are willing to pay a relatively premium price. Just pay mind to the limited customer support options available.

  • Visually stunning designs and templates, all mobile optimized.
  • One of the easiest platforms to use.
  • Plenty of third-party apps to connect.
  • Customer support is limited, with no phone support.
  • No backup or autosave features.

Best for marketing agencies

Duda

Duda’s Agency plan gives you access to a powerful website builder that offers a lot in the way of customization within its template limits. You get access to a custom widget builder and third-party widget integrations, website exporter and four websites with Amazon Web Services hosting.

However, it’s moderately expensive compared to other providers like Wix Business. It also charges extra for many complementary features, including $12.99 a month for extra websites and $7.25 for the cheapest e-commerce plan that only allows you to sell 100 products. With membership and client billing tools included in the Agency plan, we’d recommend it more for agencies with the budget and team to support multiple websites.

  • Good value with four websites included.
  • Priority support over email, chat and phone.
  • Strong membership and client billing tools.
  • The ability to sell products is included in a separate plan.
  • Complementary features cost more.

Best for integration with POS system

Square

Square is extremely convenient for businesses that want to integrate their Square POS with their website. This will help you manage online and in-store sales from one system, which can give you more time to focus on other aspects of your business. Square also allows you to offer a mobile-friendly website to your customers.

There are also a lot of integrations you can use with the Square website builder. Those include integrations for invoicing, loyalty programs, POS systems, e-commerce, orders and booking. You will be able to accept many payment methods if you are selling online products, including Square Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Afterpay. However, Afterpay’s transaction fees are hefty at 6% plus $0.30 per transaction.

  • Can integrate Square POS with your website.
  • Mobile-friendly website.
  • Allows customers to pay with Afterpay.
  • Afterpay transaction fees are high.
  • Might not be best for businesses that don’t want to sell products online.

Best for businesses that want to pay annually

Web.com

Web.com is best for businesses that are comfortable with paying annually. When paying annually, you will pay $15.99 per month instead of $19.99 per month. Your business will also receive a free domain for one year. You will also get a free year of domain privacy, three months free of a professional email and one month free of an SSL certificate. However, you can get that with monthly plans as well.

If you want to take appointments online, you will need to upgrade to the mid-tier plan at $21.99 per month when billed annually. The Online Store plan will allow your business to accept online payments and sell products at $29.99 per month when billed annually. You can also purchase QuickStart, which gives a discounted rate for the website builder, domain and SSL certificate for a one-time fee of $250.

  • All plans come with Web.com’s AI-powered drag-and-drop builder.
  • Receive a free hour with a design expert.
  • Basic analytics come with all plans.
  • Can only sell on online marketplaces like Amazon and Etsy with most expensive plan.
  • A bit more expensive than some of the other companies on our list.

Best website builder comparison

Methodology

We extensively research the key competitors within an industry to determine the best products and services for your business. Our experts identify the factors that matter most to business owners, including pricing, features and customer support, to ensure that our recommendations offer well-rounded products that will meet the needs of various small businesses.

We collect extensive data to narrow our best list to reputable, easy-to-use products with stand-out features at a reasonable price point. And we look at user reviews to ensure that business owners like you are satisfied with our top picks’ services. We use the same rubric to assess companies within a particular space so you can confidently follow our blueprint to the best website builders of 2023.

The best website builders have positive user reviews on customer review sites. Website builders should provide customers with fast and reliable support. Using a combination of phone support, live chat and knowledge bases, customers should be able to quickly resolve issues 24/7.

Website builders should include prebuilt, industry-specific templates and drag-and-drop tools to make building your website quick and easy. All templates should be mobile-optimized to ensure they appear correctly on desktop and mobile devices. E-commerce functionality should be offered to allow businesses to sell physical and digital goods and services online. Website builders should provide ample storage and bandwidth to customers along with free SSL certificates, domain names and backup/restoration services. Additional security features should be built into the website to keep customers’ data safe and private. And all of these basic features should be affordable compared to competitors.

All website builders should expand on this basic feature set with built-in SEO and email marketing tools. Integrations should allow you to connect social media platforms and dropshipping services. And e-commerce tools should allow you to sell subscriptions and online courses, book online appointments and accept recurring payments. Additionally, blogging features and the option to add custom code should be available on all websites

What is a website builder and when to use one?

Website builders are software or programs you can use to create your own website, even without coding experience. These programs often feature pre-built templates and an intuitive interface that allows even beginner designers to build a clean and practical website.

Website builders can be useful for a range of applications, whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or a business looking to scale up. If you’re wondering when to use a website creation platform, we’d particularly recommend them if:

  • You’re a creative professional and you need a portfolio.
  • You want to open an online shop.
  • You want to publish a blog .
  • You want to advertise your small business.

Benefits of website builders

If you have a business, there are many ways you can benefit from having a good website builder. Having a good website builder means you can create a professional, comprehensive website.

  • Can edit from anywhere. If you have a computer and an internet connection, you will be able to edit your website from anywhere. This can be beneficial if your business has a lot of moving parts.
  • Easy drag-and-drop functionality. If you choose a website builder that has a drag-and-drop editor, it can be extremely easy to learn. This is great for business owners who aren’t extremely tech-savvy.
  • Doesn’t have to cost a lot. There are many website builders that offer a range of features for a low monthly fee. This can help smaller businesses that are just starting or businesses that don’t have a large budget to create a website.

The better your business is, the more sales you can make, especially if you sell a lot of products online and market those products.

How to choose the best website builder

To find the best e-commerce platform for your business, consider its ease of use, security features, hosting capabilities, scalability, functionality, appearance and user experience.

Key features to look for

There are several key features you should look for when choosing a website builder. Some of them you might not have thought of, like security and scalability features. Here are some of the few features to keep in mind: 

  • Security features. Protecting user data and preventing fraud is paramount when running an online business. It’s estimated that e-commerce fraud losses will reach $48 billion in 2023, and around 42% of global fraud by value will occur in North America. Ensuring your e-commerce platform has robust security measures, password protection and PCI compliance standards implemented can help protect your business from becoming a victim of payment fraud. 
  • Scalability. As you think about scalability, you should consider storage, bandwidth, uptime, products and pages, plan tiers and customer support. It is important to make sure your business’ website builder is well-equipped to help you scale up when needed. Keep your business goals in mind, and look for a platform that can match what you need now and as you grow.
  • Functionality. There are certain features you might need when looking for a website builder. Those can include omnichannel marketing, payment processing, inventory and shopping options, analytics, mobile-friendly applications and software integrations.
  • Appearance and themes. It matters how your website looks and feels for users. From visual appeal to navigability, it helps to bear your overall vision in mind when comparing website builders. Take note of customization options, pre-built templates, fonts and color schemes. 

UX and ease of use

While you won’t need to have any real knowledge of coding languages like HTML or Javascript with most platforms, not all offer the same straightforward experience. Some website builders like WordPress offer greater degrees of customization, but novices might find it harder to learn all the tools available. 

On the flip side, based on our testing, services like Squarespace and Weebly are among the easiest to use of all providers. They each provide an intuitive interface and dashboard to manage your e-commerce business, with scores of templates and drag-and-drop components that make building your website relatively simple.

How much does it cost to build a website?

The cost of hiring a web designer to build a website varies depending on their experience and expertise as well as your specific requirements. A good ballpark figure to start with is around $5,000, but remember to factor in other costs like content creation, analytics and maintenance when thinking about how much it costs to build a website.

Is it worth paying someone to build a website?

This is dependent on how confident you feel using a website builder yourself. If you’re building a website for an individual, such as a portfolio or a personal web page, it’s likely to be more cost-efficient to create it yourself using an easy website builder like Weebly or Squarespace. 

Small businesses with more of a budget to outsource such tasks and that don’t have a website designer on staff might benefit from paying a web designer. However, many website-building services make the process of creating a website simple and straightforward, so it could be worth trying it out for yourself first.

Providers like Shopify and Squarespace offer free trials in which you can have a go at creating your website to see if it’s right for you.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Website builders work by giving users a simple and intuitive interface to build their website without code. They offer useful tools like drag-and-drop components, content editors and pre-made themes, templates and forms. These services then convert your website design into code and host it on their servers or a third-party hosting provider.

Many website builders also offer extra functionalities like cloud storage for pictures and videos, marketing tools like newsletters and notifications, SEO tools and analytics to give you insights into your website audience and views.

One of the biggest perks of website builders is that you don’t need to know how to code. Even so, some providers offer much simpler and straightforward tools than others. Based on our testing, the easiest website builders to use include: 

  • Wix : Our pick for small businesses, it’s a powerful, well-rounded and simple website builder.
  • Squarespace : Known for its visually stunning designs and simple drag-and-drop interface, Squarespace offers a slightly more expensive alternative.

Professional web designers rarely use website builders. Instead, they generally have the skills and experience to code their own websites from scratch. This offers the benefit of being able to fully customize a website with fewer restrictions. It’s a complex process that requires real hands-on knowledge. As such, you might find that some web designers use website builders for smaller or quicker projects, or partially alongside their own code and components.

BNB Chain & the Web3 Blueprint

Blog post image.

In the tapestry of technological evolution, the transition to Web3 promises a paradigm shift in how we interact with and transact in the digital world. 

However, for this revolution to cascade into the daily lives of billions, a crucial factor needs to be established first – a robust and dynamic infrastructure. This infrastructure must seamlessly blend performance, cost-effectiveness, and scalability, forming the bedrock upon which mass adoption can thrive. And this is precisely where BNB Chain is positioning itself; at the forefront of this technological renaissance, shaping the digital future. 

BNB Chain: An Ecosystem of Blockchains

web report builder

BNB Chain, one of the most popular blockchain ecosystems in the world, is dedicated to delivering the core infrastructure necessary for future public adoption. It is a community-led and open-source ecosystem built on a permissionless and decentralized environment. BNB Chain is composed of three blockchains - BNB Smart Chain (BSC) , opBNB and BNB Greenfield .

Powering and coordinating the ecosystem is the BNB token. Along with fueling transactions on BNB Chain, the BNB token also acts as a governance token. 

Within this ecosystem, the ownership, usage, and monetization of data are possible for all users and participants in the BNB Chain ecosystem.

An Ambitious Vision

web report builder

Since its establishment in 2020, the mission of BNB Chain has been to provide the foundational infrastructure needed to usher in the next billion Web3 users. 

BNB Chain’s commitment to the Web3 community is unwavering, as is its commitment to the principles of:

  • Multichain capability
  • Creator and innovator empowerment
  • Permissionless
  • Perpetual decentralization

In 2023, BNB Chain underwent rigorous stress testing amid an inscription surge and the emerging bull market cycle. Both BSC and opBNB proved their scalability during this period.

  • In late 2023, BSC recorded an all-time high by processing 32 million transactions in a single day , reaching peak throughput of 2,000 transactions per second (TPS).
  • opBNB also achieved an all-time high in Q4, reaching 71 million transactions processed in a single day and rapid throughput of 4,500 TPS.
  • As reported by AvengerDAO , BNB Chain witnessed an 85% year-on-year reduction in total losses attributed to hacking and scams in 2023.

In 2023 BSC was one of the most actively used L1 blockchains with ~1M DAU. opBNB established itself as the most active L2 in late 2023 and so far in 2024 has remained the most used L2 blockchain by DAU .

The "One BNB" Paradigm: A Unified Approach

In 2023, BNB Chain expanded into a multi-chain framework with its opBNB Layer-2 solution and Greenfield storage chain. This 'One BNB' paradigm addresses both computational and storage requirements for typical Web3 Dapps.

The One BNB strategy integrates BSC, opBNB, and Greenfield into a cohesive ecosystem, ensuring seamless interaction between decentralized computing and storage. 

We are already observing numerous compelling projects tapping into multiple components of our ecosystem simultaneously via the multi-chain paradigm. These include:

  • High-volume projects: Hooked is using opBNB to execute gas-sensitive transactions while safeguarding assets on the high-liquidity BSC.
  • Full potential of Greenfield: 4EVERLAND is delving into the full capabilities of Greenfield by constructing fully-on-chain applications.
  • AI integrations: BNB Chain is witnessing the integration of groundbreaking AI protocols, exemplified by projects like QnA3 .

BNB Smart Chain (BSC): Lowering Barriers to Web3

web report builder

Ranked as the third-largest Layer-1 protocol by market capitalization, BSC exhibited impressive advancements in Q4 2023 across diverse metrics, underscoring the vibrancy and productivity of its ecosystem:

  • Gas fees burned in BNB, a critical metric reflecting network activity, witnessed a 21% increase between Q3 and Q4 2023.
  • Throughout 2023, BSC demonstrated its capacity to handle heightened activity, with daily transactions on the network experiencing a substantial 35% year-over-year increase.
  • The DeFi ecosystem achieved a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $4.6 billion by the end of 2023, representing a significant 33% quarter-over-quarter increase in DeFi TVL.

In 2023, BSC successfully raised its gas limit to an impressive 140M, surpassing Ethereum's capacity by 4.6 times. While maintaining this elevated limit, the emphasis for 2024 will shift towards state and storage optimization as well as the implementation of Parallel EVM, allowing the simultaneous execution of multiple instructions.

opBNB: Powering Scalability & Low Costs

web report builder

The opBNB mainnet , launched in September 2023, stands as the Layer 2 scaling solution dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of the BNB Smart Chain. 

At its core, opBNB allows users to deposit and withdraw funds, use smart contracts, and view network data with high throughput and low fees. It improves experiences for users in areas such as high frequency DeFi and fully on-chain games. 

opBNB is set to prioritize several key areas for ongoing optimization , aiming for enhanced performance and flexibility. The primary focus is on achieving a target of 10,000 TPS by doubling the gas limit to an impressive 200 million per second, solidifying opBNB’s position as the highest-capacity L2 solution.

Moreover, opBNB is committed to contributing to the development of a data availability layer on Greenfield that aims to reduce transaction costs by 5 to 10 times compared to current levels.

opBNB Connect

Recognizing the diverse needs of large-scale Dapps with potentially extensive user bases, opBNB understands the preference of certain projects, like games, DeSoc, and DePIN, to build their own Layer 2 solutions. In response, opBNB aims to support this initiative, fostering the creation of unique ecosystems for developers and projects within these domains.

BNB Chain has therefore introduced opBNB Connect, a secure and scalable solution featuring decentralized and shared sequencers, customized gas tokens for different Layer 2s, and permissionless bridges offering seamless connection. This interconnected approach extends beyond bridge assets, facilitating the direct composition of different protocols across multiple Layer 2s.

BNB Greenfield: Mass Adoption and AI

web report builder

Launched in October 2023, the Greenfield mainnet plays a pivotal role within BNB Chain's multi-chain paradigm. 

BNB Greenfield is a pragmatic solution that seamlessly blends decentralized storage with blockchain technology. Greenfield is designed to streamline data management and intertwine data ownership with the DeFi landscape. Its fundamental goal is to simplify the storage and management of data.

Greenfield has become a testing ground for decentralized AI infrastructure and AI-powered applications, providing support for the integration of artificial intelligence within the platform's ecosystem. 

The Greenfield core team’s focus revolves around a comprehensive set of goals aimed at elevating performance, enhancing developer experience, and optimizing data access services. The key areas of focus for 2024 include:

  • Increasing performance
  • Improved developer experience
  • Efficient data retrieval
  • Off-chain generic computing
  • Multi-chain platform

Aligning with our One BNB Multi-Chain aspiration, our 2024 Outlook provides more information on key focus areas across BSC, opBNB and BNB Greenfield for 2024. 

“One BNB” For Mass Adoption

The following are examples of use cases facilitated by the implementation of the One BNB multi-chain strategy.

  • High-Frequency DeFi – Characterized by the need for executing a large volume of transactions at unprecedented speeds, High-Frequency DeFi (HFD) finds its ideal playground in opBNB, which has set its sights on an impressive 10,000 TPS. Looking ahead, opBNB is poised to empower sectors that include perpetuals, prediction markets, (streaming) payments utilizing robust stablecoins like FDUSD and innovations in social trading and trading bots.
  • Pioneering Fully On-Chain Gaming – Within the BNB Chain ecosystem, opBNB and Greenfield seamlessly empower fully on-chain games by offering a comprehensive solution for game logic, data, and assets storage and processing. BNB Smart Chain and opBNB are purposefully crafted to cater to the intricacies of gaming logic and economics, ensuring a tailored environment for immersive gaming experiences.
  • AI X Web3 – A natural synergy between AI and Web3 has emerged, leading the BNB Chain community to swiftly construct a comprehensive AI infrastructure . This visionary initiative encompasses every facet of AI integration—from robust AI modeling to efficient AI data storage, inclusive of labeling processes. 
  • Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) – DePIN’s innovative approach transforms traditional physical networks, encompassing telecommunications networks, CPU/GPU networks, and data networks like maps co-creation, datasets labeling, energy-saving networks, and privacy-focused data networks. The robust multi-chain paradigm of BNB Chain serves as a solid foundation for solutions like:
  • Financial Settlement on L1 or L2
  • Complex business logic on dedicated L2 networks
  • Decentralized storage for data management
  • The Decentralized Social Revolution - Decentralized Social (DeSoc) brings forth a realm where users can authentically own their data, control access, and actively engage in decentralized communities. This is embodied by the original spirit of Greenfield—which is designed to empower the new data economy. A comprehensive DeSoc ecosystem extends to encompass innovative and decentralized social media Dapps, creating a one-stop holistic experience.

Empowering Meaningful Ecosystems

Beyond serving as a community-led infrastructure and technical foundation, BNB Chain is unwavering in its commitment to empowering projects and developers, providing robust support to help them transform their visions into reality. 

AvengerDAO: Fortifying Users Against Threats

In addition to its technological infrastructure, BNB Chain also spearheads initiatives dedicated to bolstering the security of its ecosystem and extending safeguards beyond its borders. AvengerDAO is committed to shielding users from financial losses and malicious contracts within the blockchain ecosystem. 

In a strategic alliance with leading global security providers and blockchain applications, AvengerDAO, actively protects users from harmful contracts in the blockchain space. 

In 2023, BSC witnessed a remarkable 85% decrease in total losses from hacking or scams compared to 2022. 

DappBay: BNB Chain’s Dapp Library

DappBay is a portal that allows users to safely explore Dapps on BNB Chain. There, users can discover Dapp rankings, analytics, campaigns, airdrops, and more. For builders, Dappbay serves as a valuable platform where projects can get in front of a larger audience.

To ensure users can explore in safety, DappBay features Red Alarm which is a tool that updates the community every Friday with projects it has identified as being untrustworthy, ensuring that users can respond quickly to potential risks.

DappBay also features a Risk Scanner . Powered by AvengerDAO , this is a real-time contract risk scanner that lets users scan and verify the safety of any BNB Smart Chain (BSC) smart contract.

This new website builder lets restaurateurs launch their own website in minutes

SkyTab gets new AI website builder

SkyTab Website Builder screenshot from press video

Integrated payments technology company Shift4 has revealed a new AI-powered tool designed to streamline the process of creating websites for restaurateurs. 

SkyTab Website Builder, targeted specifically at the hospitality industry, is set to be offered as a no-cost option to customers already using Shift4’s SkyTab POS system, positioning both products as high-value options for those with an eye on their expenses.

Like any other product launch in 2024, artificial intelligence takes center stage, and Shift4 reckons it can cut the website-building process from hours or days to just minutes.

Shift4’s SkyTab Website Builder launches, free for some

Traditionally, launching a website is a time-consuming and expensive effort. SkyTab Website Builder works by asking a user for certain details about the businesses, and uses AI to populate most of the content.

With the foundation taken care of, users can then apply their own themes and branding to further personalize the site. The site works with SkyTab’s other services, like table reservations and online ordering, as well as the sale of gift cards and connecting the site with social media accounts.

Dave Hoffman, CPO for Shift4, emphasized the importance of an online presence for restaurants: “SkyTab is an all-in-one platform for restaurants – from online ordering and mobile solutions to marketing and loyalty. SkyTab Website Builder expands this ecosystem with a powerful tool for restaurants to better manage and grow their business.”

Customers can sign up on SkyTab’s website or schedule a demo with a member of staff.

Shift4 isn’t the only company looking to roll out AI across its website-building platforms, though, with the likes of Wix and Namecheap also jumping on the trend.

However, for existing customers, the free addition of an easy-to-use AI website builder adds a lot of value, and it could be enough to tempt some away from other providers, marking what could end up being a smart move for the company.
