At SEO Resellers UK, part of our world-class SEO reseller program involves offering outsource WordPress web design services to digital agencies to deliver to their clients. Due to this, we keep a close watch on the digital landscape and pay careful attention to any relevant updates, enabling us to offer the best outsource web development services consistently. For most digital agencies, it should come as no surprise that WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems available today. According to Web Technology Surveys, WordPress is used by at least 42.9% of all known websites. 

Part of what makes WordPress amongst digital agencies and other digital professionals is that it is a versatile tool that consistently keeps up with market demands, adapting and updating its offering to suit current (and future) needs. Towards the end of May 2022, WordPress brought its latest big update to the world, WordPress 6.0. WordPress s known to name each of its updates after influential jazz artists; 6.0 is no exception. This new version has been dubbed Arturo, named for Grammy-winning jazz musician and Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra member Arturo O’Farrill.

Arturo brings almost 1000 changes, improvements and bug fixes to digital agencies and web developers, mostly focused on enhancing the no-code experience WordPress is known for. WordPress’s flexible, no-code offering has made it a game-changer in the web development landscape, a feature that is set to expand with Arturo, which brings more stability, performance and usability enhancements. 

Arturo will bring updates heavily focused on the design and performance side of the content management system. These updates have been implemented to build on WordPress’s reputation as offering a flexible, intuitive website building experience for both amateurs and professional website developers alike. Some of the changes included in WordPress 6.0 include: 

• An enhanced experience for writing with a more streamlined content creation process
• An easier method for switching styles with shortcuts that change the look and feel of a website in a matter of a few simple clicks
• Even more choices for templates to enhance flexibility and customisability 
• Patterns that can be integrated on demand and prioritised in order to maximise creativity and efficiency
• New design tools such as:
  • A new space-saving colour panel design
  • Simpler, updated border controls
  • Colour transparency level options
  • Group block to control gaps, margins, typography and such
  • And more
• An enhanced list view will allow for more efficiency in the design process
• Controls for dealing with block locking to simplify project handovers
• Several updates aimed at improving WordPress’s overall performance
• Improvements aimed at making WordPress more accessible for all types of users all over the world

Arturo is the result of hundreds of passionate individuals coming together in a meeting of the minds to offer an even better way to build a unique, beautiful website to anyone of any skill level. From digital agencies to web designers to the everyday person just looking to start a blog about their hobbies.
