Apabila kami mula membangunkan PBS pada awal tahun 2015, kami sentiasa percaya pada potensinya untuk melepasi hadnya. Sepanjang tahun lalu sejak pelancarannya, pasukan kami telah bekerja keras, sentiasa memastikan untuk berusaha lebih gigih agar PBS dapat mencapai perkara itu.
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.
Kami akan jujur: ia bukan mudah.
Tetapi berbanding permulaannya yang sederhana pada tahun 2015, kami kini cukup yakin untuk mengatakan bahawa Page Builder Sandwich sememangnya telah mencapai kemajuan yang amat jauh sejak hari-harinya dalam versi 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
Satu lagi ciri biasa yang dipersetujui oleh kebanyakan pembina halaman adalah keperluan untuk responsif mudah alih, memandangkan peranti seperti tablet dan telefon bimbit semakin menguasai pasaran.
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.
Di samping itu, PBS kini turut menyokong pratonton mudah alih pada desktop. Dengan cara ini, anda akan dapat melihat pratonton rupa halaman anda dengan mudah dalam mana-mana mod yang anda perlukan – sama ada melalui mudah alih atau tablet – tanpa perlu menggunakan salah satu daripadanya.
Tambahan pula, PBS kini membolehkan pengguna melakukan perubahan pada desktop, mudah alih dan tablet, tanpa menjejaskan saiz skrin yang lain.
What’s New: Features
Full Page Templates
Satu lagi perkara yang kami perhatikan sejak pelancaran PBS ialah pengguna cenderung membina halaman berdasarkan niche tertentu. Ini sudah tentu sesuatu yang semula jadi dalam penciptaan halaman, tetapi bagi pengguna, ia menjadi sedikit masalah apabila membina halaman berasaskan niche ini. Sebagai contoh, laman eCommerce yang dibina dengan Page Builder Sandwich mungkin memerlukan lebih banyak masa untuk dihasilkan dari awal berbanding blog harian biasa anda yang mempunyai galeri foto. Oleh itu, memandangkan keperluan untuk laman web jenis ini terus meningkat, kami akhirnya menghasilkan penyelesaian dengan memperkenalkan Templat Halaman Penuh PBS..
Bagaimanakah Templat Halaman Penuh Berbeza daripada Bahagian Prareka Bentuk?
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.
Akses Lebih Mudah kepada Pemalam Pihak Ketiga
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.
Elemen dan Ciri yang Sangat Diminta: Fungsi yang Dipertingkatkan dan Lebih Banyak Ciri Reka Bentuk
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.
Apa Seterusnya untuk PBS?
Kami telah mencapai kemajuan yang jauh sejak pelancaran awal kami pada Januari 2016. Kami telah membuat penambahbaikan yang besar, dan walaupun tugas ini bukan satu perkara yang mudah, ia sememangnya sangat berbaloi. Versi 4.0 hanyalah permulaan kepada lebih banyak penambahbaikan dalam PBS, dan pada tahun 2017 ini, kami akan terus bekerja keras untuk memastikan PBS terus menjadi lebih baik dan lebih baik. Namun buat masa ini, kami berharap anda dapat memanfaatkan ciri-ciri baharu ini sepenuhnya, dan ia akan menjadikan pengalaman anda menggunakan PBS lebih bermakna.
Selamat Membina Laman!
