After 18 months of development, PageLines Platform 5, the fifth generation of PageLines, is ready for public launch next week.
Backstory: Who Platform 5 will be for…
With PL5 we’ve gone back to our roots of focusing on web professionals. Web professionals are people that make websites for a living.
In this, we started by asking web designers what their frustrations were when working with WordPress. We found that there was primarily two frustrations we could address. Web professionals want to:
- Create awesome websites, only faster. Less reinventing the wheel and less debugging frustration.
- Give clients something that the client can then edit without coding.
Platform 5 aims at solving both these problems and doing so elegantly.
Other stuff we’ve announced…
We’ve already announced many aspects of how PL5 is architected:
- Javascript Driven – Meaning its super fast, real time and uses less server resources.
- Extension Based – The power of PL5 comes from its core simplicity and the power and extensions.

Stay Tuned: A few surprises left
We are saving the coolest aspects of the new platform for last. If you’re a web professional, or build professional websites, stay tuned next week for the official launch announcements!
