#240: WP-Tonic Show We Interview Justin Busa Joint Founder of Beaver Builder

In this episode, Justin Busa Lead Developer at Fast Line Media (http://www.fastlinemedia.com/) the company that makes Beaver Builder, joined host Jonathan Denwood to discuss what’s in the works for Beaver Builder and Beaver Themer. Justin is co-founder of the company.

Along with discussing the future of the company’s products, the talked about the fact that Beaver Builder will be four years old in April. Sometimes it’s hard to realize it’s been around that long.

Currently the Beaver Builder team is focused on the release of Beaver Builder 2.0 which should drop in the next one to two weeks.

Some of the highlights for version 2.0 include:

Improved user experience allowing the user to move between options like rows and content.

Speed improvements based on the fact that much of the User Interface is now Javascript. This allows it to render instantly on the page and not have to return to the server.

This version also adds more options for users to customize their dashboard experience allowing them to resize the settings boxes, pin them where desired, and save workspace settings to keep this experience each time they login.

After this launch, they will return to Beaver Themer, which hasn’t been updated much since its release in order to focus on making changes based on customer feedback.

They will also be taking time on the Beaver Builder Theme. This received quite a bit of work in the first several years of the project, and is now being revisited based on customer feedback.

Overall, the company listens to feedback and takes a customer-centric approach to solving problems and improving their software going forward.
