Extendify v1.16 Overview Video
Unlimited Site Types
We know our users often have unique and specific ideas for their websites, and let’s be honest—no site type list is big enough to cover everything. That’s why we’ve removed the need to select a website type altogether. Now, Extendify AI will take care of the details, using a website’s title and description to give a truly personalized experience.
Not only is the copy on the website customized, we harnessed the power of AI to curate images based on the specific website information. Whether the user is creating a Penguin Blog or a Vintage Second-Hand Clothing e-commerce site, we’ve got them covered!
Integrated WooCommerce and Blog Patterns
In v1.15, we introduced our Product Integration Framework with WP Forms and Contact Form 7 as the first integrations. Now, we’re taking it further.
When a WooCommerce store is created, we:
- Automatically configure the navigation menu with all the essential links and icons
- Add official WooCommerce blocks to display your products
- Create sample products to help you get started quickly
For users selecting “Publish a blog” as one of their website goals, we’ve added WordPress-specific blog patterns in relevant parts of the site and included sample blog posts to jumpstart your creative journey.
Looking ahead to 2025, we’re planning to expand integrations further, making it easier than ever for users to enhance their websites with additional functionality.
AI Recommended Styles
We’re always improving the variety and relevance of designs for our users. That’s why layout options are now powered by AI Style selection, tailored specifically to each website’s purpose and goals. In the future, we will also customize the look and feel of the website even further by taking into account the region/locale the website is targeting.
AI Domain Recommendations
Site Assistant’s domain recommendations just got smarter! We’ve upgraded to the latest Verisign NameStudio API (v3), featuring their AI-powered engine to deliver even more relevant and creative domain name suggestions based on the website’s details.
Other Fixes and Improvements
This release also includes a bunch of fixes and enhancements, including:
- Support for Romanian, Serbian, Greek, Hindi, Arabic, UK English, Colombian Spanish, and Mexican Spanish;
- Improved style integration with The Events Calendar plugin;
- Better integration with Unsplash, making it even easier to find the perfect images for your site.
