On the hunt for the perfect site builder? We now offer WP Website Builder<\/a>, a suite of premium tools and plugins that make it even easier (and faster) to get your website online!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we set out to create Remixer, DreamHost\u2019s very own website builder,<\/a> we had three simple goals in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The tool needed to be easy to use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Users should be able to get a website up and running quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. They should be able to have a bit of fun in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In fact, it was an early adopter at one of our Reach Out and Touch You events<\/a> in Portland who told me, \u201cRemixer is an idea generator.\u201d  This user said he could quickly toy around with new website ideas to see if they worked or inspired him into further action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So mission accomplished on our first three goals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But you know we\u2019re never done adding functionality<\/a>. That\u2019s why we\u2019re so excited to introduce the new Create feature <\/strong>\u2014 a tool that will allow you to iterate on ideas quickly and show you the full range of Remixer options<\/a> before you get down to editing your content.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n\t\t\tWe\u2019ve Got the Ultimate Website Design Tool\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t

    \n\t\t\tWhen you partner with DreamHost, you get access to WP Website Builder and more than 200+ industry-specific starter sites for free!\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t \n Launch Your Site <\/a>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    A Look at Remixer\u2019s Create Feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In reviewing Remixer usage, we noticed that small business owners, for example, felt they needed to choose a business theme for their website, and restaurant owners thought they needed to choose a restaurant theme. This user behavior made us realize that some of our users might be hemmed in by the themes \u2014 instead of being inspired by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With all the website builders<\/a> and content management systems out there (and the various kinds of themes, skins, and templates<\/a>), it\u2019s clear that what users want \u2014 and need \u2014 are lots of inspiring options. So whether you know the exact type of site you want to build<\/a> or just have a general design aesthetic in mind, the Create feature can help you preview different options before you commit to inputting your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Plus, it\u2019s easy to use. You select from three basic layouts, choose a color palette, select example content, and then finish it all up with a curated list of font pairings. There\u2019s also a site preview you can watch as you go through each of the steps. Then, you can save where you are or jump right into the editor and start adding your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remixer\u2019s Color Technology Sneak Peek<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    One of the hidden features of this update is a color-matching technology. We plan to make it an integral part of the whole editor experience soon, but we are proving out its usefulness within the Create feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In our 20-plus years in the hosting industry<\/a>, we\u2019ve found that imagery which matches the color palette of the overall website<\/a> consistently creates a more polished and professional look. This new technology makes creating that kind of website easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The first step of the Create wizard is to select a layout for your new site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In Step 2, you\u2019ll be asked to choose a color palette. Then, during Step 3, you\u2019ll select example content from a range of categories, such as Health & Fitness, Business Professional, and Cafe & Bakery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Once you pick a category, all the images inserted into your site preview will automatically match the palette you selected in the previous step. If you want more options, you can select the categories multiple times to see the images change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you go back to Step 2 and choose a different palette, you\u2019ll get a refreshed set of images to match your new color selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
