Change isn’t always easy, but it’s often the key to growth. At Nexter, we’ve embraced change to create something extraordinary – a smoother, more powerful, and improved user experience for WordPress users.
If you’re not familiar yet, The Plus Blocks for Gutenberg is now Nexter Blocks. Under the Nexter brand, you’ll now find the Nexter Theme, Nexter Extension, and Nexter Blocks.
Our users are our top priority, and we make sure they stay informed about all updates and the reasons behind them.
That’s why we’ve decided to take you behind the scenes to share the story of Nexter’s rebranding and reveal some exciting improvements designed just for you.
So, let’s dive in!
Why Did We Rebrand Nexter?
Every rebrand has a story, and ours began with a question: How can we serve you better?
We decided to make some changes, keeping in mind your feedback, to provide you with a world-class user experience.
Why exactly do we rebrand? Let us walk you through the reasons:
1. Creating a Unified Identity
Previously, many users paired The Plus Blocks for Gutenberg with the Nexter Theme to unlock its full potential. It became clear that combining them under one brand would improve your experience. Enter Nexter, a unified platform where the Nexter Theme and Nexter Blocks work seamlessly together.
2. Ending the Confusion
With The Plus Addons for Elementor already a flagship product, many users were confusing it with The Plus Blocks for Gutenberg. By rebranding, we’ve given Nexter a distinct identity, making it easier for you to differentiate between our offerings.
3. Streamlined Experience
Instead of juggling multiple tools, you now have an all-in-one solution for building, customizing, and optimizing WordPress websites.
4. Building an Ecosystem
Nexter isn’t just a name, it’s a vision. Beyond blocks and themes, Nexter represents an evolving ecosystem designed to unlock WordPress’s full potential. From intuitive tools to innovative features, we’re aiming at building a future where creating websites is quicker, simpler, and more fun.
What’s New in Nexter for Our Users?
We’ve been busy refining Nexter to deliver an exceptional user experience.
To discuss the details at a granular level, we’ll discuss the newest additions to Nexter Extension, Nexter Blocks, and Nexter theme.
Let’s see what are the fresh developments:
1. A Fresh Start with a Redesigned Dashboard
Our team worked tirelessly to bring you a brand-new Nexter Extension dashboard. We didn’t just tweak a button here or change a color there. The entire dashboard has been rewritten from scratch for better performance so you can enjoy a faster, more responsive experience.
With our new dashboard, you’ll notice navigation is easier now, you can find what you need faster.
2. More Powerful Theme Customizer
We’ve completely redesigned the Theme Customizer with a fresh new look and improved functionality.
Instead of dropdown menus, you’ll now see clear visual options that make it quicker to choose what works best for your design. For example, now you can choose the perfect sidebar alignment (left or right) using clear visual options, making the customization process smoother.
We’re fully into making the process smoother and more intuitive for our users by adding more controls!
3. Faster Performance than Before
Nexter Blocks and Nexter theme are now powered by vanilla JavaScript, ensuring faster load times and lightning-speed performance for your websites. This will provide a rapid and smoother building experience for our users.
We’ve made some major improvements in Nexter Blocks to enhance speed and performance without compromising any of the features you rely on. Now, you can enjoy the perfect balance of power and performance.
4. Improved Nexter Blocks UX/UI
We’ve given the Nexter Blocks a complete UX/UI overhaul, focusing on making them more user-friendly, easier to navigate, and visually aligned with Nexter’s brand colors.
We did this revamp, keeping in mind usability, navigation, and overall look.
Everything is now easier to access, reducing the time and effort needed to make changes. For instance, with Nexter Blocks’ revamped UX/UI, it is now easier to find options and customize your site more efficiently.
5. Nexter Blocks Compatibility with WDesignKit
Nexter Blocks now seamlessly integrates with WDesignKit, giving you access to over 1,000+ pre-designed templates for your website. This powerful integration saves you time and effort while helping you create stunning websites quickly and efficiently.
With templates available for almost every niche, you’ll have plenty of options to find the perfect design that fits your needs.
6. Revamped Code Snippets UX
We get it, some of you are tech-savvy and love the flexibility of adding custom code snippets. That’s why we’ve revamped the Code Snippets feature with a smoother, and more intuitive user experience.
Now, you can easily select the type of code you want to add using a handy dropdown menu: choose from PHP, HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.
You can decide whether you want to run code snippets on the frontend, backend, or both frontend as well as the admin area.
This updated feature allows you to easily add code snippets without using any third-party plugin.
7. Updated Theme Builder Workflow
We’ve completely updated the user flow of the Theme Builder.
Now, you can set template display conditions in a popup layout and create the template in a separate window.
Here’s what it means for you:
- Easier Editing: You can focus on just the settings or content you’re editing without distractions from the rest of the interface.
- Streamlined Workflow: Everything you need is in one compact, well-organized popup, making the editing process faster and more efficient.
This change makes customizing your site smoother and more user-friendly!
