Remixer Becomes First Website Builder to Export Themes, Content to WordPress
LOS ANGELES, California—August 14th, 2018—DreamHost®, a global leader in web hosting and Managed WordPress services, has given freedom to thousands of sites built with its proprietary website builder, Remixer. Effective immediately, DreamHost Remixer users who are also DreamHost customers now have the power to export their sites to WordPress, carrying across all styles, theming, and content created within Remixer into a freshly created WordPress website.
Since its launch in 2017, DreamHost’s Remixer has been the preferred click-to-edit site builder for thousands of web users looking to carve out a corner of the web with a powerful, yet simple-to-use interface. Paired with WordPress, the web’s most popular content management system, Remixer marries beautiful website designs and evocative user-generated content with the power of open source software.
Today’s WordPress export tool does away with Remixer’s “walled garden” approach to website content and brings true data portability to Remixer users. Remixer has embraced WordPress’ new, in-development “Gutenberg” design paradigm, exporting block-based designs and content designed to work with the WordPress of today and tomorrow.
“We’re committed to supporting the Open Web,” said DreamHost’s vice president of product, Remixer, Ralph Castro. “From free speech to free software, to giving our users complete control and ownership of their data, today’s launch builds on the web’s early promise to help users share their content online on their platform of choice.”
To date, Remixer is the only standalone website builder with the ability to export websites and their content directly to WordPress, making this a noteworthy industry first.
DreamHost Remixer’s WordPress export tool launches in beta today and is available at no charge to all new and existing Remixer All Access users and DreamHost Shared Hosting customers. User feedback during this period will be used, as always, to shape the future of Remixer and other new offerings from DreamHost.
