The Brand New Statamic Experience
The Brand New Statamic Experience
Well, we did it. After countless design iterations, a far-too-long-running git branch finally merged, and at least one designer threatening to move to an island in the Caribbean to spend his or her days drinking Hurricanes in the sun..., we've launched the new Statamic.com. Sure, it looks prettier and more sophisticated while keeping it's quirky roots, and yes the user experience is much more intuitive, but the real magic is in all the new features we've packed into every area of the site.
Show Off Your Work (You Should)
You put the time in and now it's time to share your work with the world. Our new showcase section puts the spotlight on the impressive work our community creates. And for our Certified Partners, we've supercharged your profiles with proper project galleries. Time to let those screenshots and links do the talking.
Community-Powered Knowledge
We've added a Community Links page because, let's face it, some of you explain Statamic better than we do. It's a curated collection of articles, tutorials, and videos from the community. Got something to share? Send it our way and we'll make sure the world sees it.
Your Account, But Better
We've done some housekeeping in the account section:
- Self-service site transfers. No more emailing support asking us to transfer a license to your client. Now you can initiate the transfer yourself and your recipient can confirm the transfer. We do still manually approve these behind the scenes to prevent abuse of license terms, but it's now all at the click of a button.
- Pro Developer Support now lives right in your Sites dashboard. Track your support requests and revisit past conversations without digging through email threads
- All your subscriptions are now managed in one place, because nobody likes playing hide-and-seek with billing info
- The Sites area shows you the nitty-gritty details about your installations β PHP, Laravel, and Statamic versions at a glance
A Marketplace That Works Harder
Our marketplace got much more than just a fresh coat of paint:
- We're calling sellers "Creators" now because, well, that's what they do. Shoulda thought of that word before. Not everyone sells their wares.
- Creators now get sales notification emails. No relying on Stripe anymore.
- Products now show their GitHub "pulse" β because knowing if a package is alive and kicking is kind of important
- You can flag abandoned or low quality products, helping keep the marketplace tidy (and saving future you some headaches)
- New search and filters that let you find products built by Statamic or the Rad Pack (our collaboration with 3rd party developers)
- Show some love with product likes β it's like Github stars, but you know, here on this site.
Enterprise: Because Sometimes You Need a Suit and Tie
We've added Enterprise Pricing for when your Statamic needs get serious. Perfect for those times when someone in management asks "but can it scale?" or "Who can we call when we have an emergency?"
What's Next?
This redesign is just the beginning. We've laid the groundwork for some exciting features we've got cooking (no spoilers). The new Statamic.com is faster, smarter, and ready to grow alongside our community.
Take it for a spin and let us know what you think. After all, most of these improvements came from your feedback β turns out you all have pretty good ideas.
