Nang sinimulan naming buuin ang PBS noong unang bahagi ng 2015, palagi kaming naniwala sa potensyal nito na lampasan ang mga limitasyon nito. Sa nakalipas na taon mula noong inilabas ito, nagsusumikap nang husto ang aming koponan, palaging tinitiyak na magsumikap nang higit pa upang magawa iyon ng PBS.
In 2016, we’ve managed to release three versions of PBS, each one surpassing their predecessors with more advantageous updates after the next. Today, in 2017, we’re finally releasing Page Builder Sandwich Version 4.0 in commemoration of its very first birthday.
Magiging tapat kami: hindi ito naging madali.
Ngunit kumpara sa mapagpakumbabang simula nito noong 2015, may sapat na kumpyansa na kami ngayon upang sabihing malayo na talaga ang narating ng Page Builder Sandwich mula noong mga araw nito sa beta.
Then vs Now
Taking a step back and looking at the different versions that PBS went through, it has really changed for the better. Some learning mistakes just made us cringe and laugh!
Enhanced User Interface
For versions 3.0 and 4.0, we’ve made some major improvements with regards to the user interface. Pippin’s insight really made a wake-up call to us!

Engaging in conversation and taking note of feedback has always been important to us, and is (and always will be) an integral part of Page Builder Sandwich’s continued growth. Out of all of PBS’ features though, we’ve received quite a number of critiques regarding the previous versions’ UI’s. All of them had one common denominator that many believed was detrimental to PBS’ functionality: the color scheme. According to most, it was too aggressive and did not compliment WordPress’ color palette. We’ve since addressed this issue in Version 4.0, constructing an improved UI with toned-down colors, all while still keeping PBS’ signature drag-and-drop UI intact.
Mobile Responsiveness
Isa pang karaniwang tampok na mapagkakasunduan ng karamihan sa mga page builder ay ang pangangailangan para sa mobile responsiveness, dahil ang mga device tulad ng mga tablet at cellphone ay lalong nangingibabaw sa merkado.
Because of this, we’ve tackled mobile responsiveness in Version 4.0’s release. Viewing pages built with PBS now becomes a smoother, more efficient experience, with your page’s UI adapting to your device’s screen resolutions.
Bilang karagdagan dito, sinusuportahan na rin ngayon ng PBS ang mga mobile preview sa desktop. Sa paraang ito, madali kang makakakuha ng preview kung ano ang hitsura ng iyong page sa alinmang mode na kailangan mo – sa mobile man o tablet – nang hindi kinakailangang gamitin ang alinman sa mga ito.
Bukod pa rito, pinapayagan na ngayon ng PBS ang mga user na magsagawa ng mga pagbabago sa desktop, mobile, at tablet, nang hindi naaapektuhan ang laki ng screen ng iba.
What’s New: Features
Full Page Templates
Isa pang bagay na napansin namin mula noong paglulunsad ng PBS ay may posibilidad ang mga user na bumuo ng mga page batay sa partikular na mga niche. Likas naman ito pagdating sa paggawa ng mga page, ngunit para sa user, nagiging kaunting problema ito kapag bumubuo ng mga page na nakabatay sa niche na ito. Halimbawa, ang mga eCommerce site na ginawa gamit ang Page Builder Sandwich ay malamang na mas matagal gawin mula sa simula kumpara sa karaniwan mong blog na may photo gallery. Kaya dahil patuloy na dumarami ang pangangailangan para sa ganitong mga uri ng website, sa wakas ay nakabuo kami ng solusyon sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakilala ng Full Page Templates ng PBS..
Paano naiiba ang Full Page Templates sa Pre-Designed Sections?
PBS actually has a feature similar to the Full Page Templates, the Pre-Designed Sections. Since our team has been aware that there are users who lack the time to design and layout their pages and sites, the Pre-Designed Sections were built for this specific purpose. The Pre-Designed Sections are small, individual layouts professionally designed to be mixed and matched together to build a page. However, while they are pre-designed, they aren’t full page, and are not niche-based.
The Full Page Templates are different in that they’re designed to be used for an entire landing page, and they’re laden with features that commonly go with a particular niche. For example, upon accessing PBS’ Hotel Template, you’ll find that with it comes a map, contact details, and sections specifically designed for enumerating the hotel’s amenities. Similarly, the PBS Fashion Template includes a carousel feature for showcasing fashion ensembles for modern shops. These templates can also be tweaked and adjusted to suit the user’s needs and taste, of course.
Mas Madaling Pag-access sa Third-Party Plugins
WooCommerce, Advanced Custom Fields, Events Calendar, Instagram Feed, Contact Form 7, NextGen Gallery, among others, are now more accessible with Version 4.0. This means that if you have these plugins activated in your PBS-run site, you can now add them with more ease.
Mga Lubos na Hinihiling na Elemento at Tampok: Pinahusay na Functionality at Mas Maraming Tampok sa Disenyo
In the span of a year, we would regularly receive suggestions and requests for features that are currently in-demand in the page builder market. Among these include Parallax Scrolling, Video Backgrounds, Ken Burns Backgrounds, features that increase the aesthetic value of your page; and elements such as Pricing Tables, Testimonials, Countdowns, and Milestones to enhance your page’s functionality. With the release of Version 4.0, we’ve finally accomplished these and more. We’re sure your PBS experience will be even more worthwhile this time around.
Ano ang Susunod para sa PBS?
Malayo na ang narating namin mula noong una naming paglulunsad noong Enero 2016. Gumawa kami ng malalaking pagpapabuti, at kahit hindi madali ang gawain, tiyak na napakakasiya-siya nito. Ang Bersyon 4.0 ay simula pa lamang ng higit pang mga pagpapabuti sa PBS, at ngayong 2017, patuloy kaming magsusumikap upang matiyak na ang PBS ay patuloy na magiging mas mahusay. Gayunpaman sa ngayon, umaasa kami na lubos mong magagamit ang mga bagong tampok na ito, at gagawin nitong higit na kapaki-pakinabang ang iyong karanasan sa PBS.
Maligayang Pagbuo ng Site!
