Weekly WordPress News: New Design for WPLift
Hey, WordPress friends.
A new look for WPLift has been on our wish list for quite sometime. We started working on it since September last year. It took a bit longer than expected, but we finally made it. The website is now fast as lightning, better on mobile devices, and with a much more lighter design. We hope you like it as much as we do!
Special thanks to:
We’re still fixing a couple of tiny bugs here and there on the live site. But those should be fixed very soon.
