Celebrating Breakdance’s Second Birthday: A Look Back At Two Years Of Innovation

As we mark Breakdance’s second anniversary, we can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and pride. What started as a mission to create the best website builder for WordPress has blossomed into a thriving community of creators, developers, and businesses who have all contributed to making Breakdance what it is today. We owe our success to each and every one of you who believed in our vision and joined us on this journey.

Over the last two years, we have worked diligently to put your feedback to work. By listening to our users and maintaining a clear vision for Breakdance’s future, we’ve forged ahead and managed to create the most powerful yet easy to use visual site builder for WordPress. No other tool accommodates every skill level, from beginners to professional developers, with such ease. We’re truly proud of what we have created. Today, we’ll take a look back at how Breakdance has grown over the last two years.
