10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Happy New Year!

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the last blog post for this year from yours truly – Viptor!

The countdown to the new 2022 has already started, which means that I and everyone at our WordPress Agency for Development are preparing to bid adieu to one of the most interesting and exciting years we’ve had throughout our professional practice.

So, the question is – how did 2021 go; was it successful? Well, let me tell you, you can bet it was truly amazing!

Yes, the world has definitely seen better days (of course, I’m referring to the global pandemic we’re still dealing with), but I’m so happy that one thing has remained constant, and that is the non-stop evolution of my favourite CMS – WordPress.

2021 was a big year for the web development world with so many new concepts beginning their inception and starting to re-shape the web as we know it. In this context, our WordPress development agency is glad to report that the Number 1 CMS in the world didn’t fall behind and continued to prove there are solid reasons that consolidate its stellar position.

With that being said, I thought that for my last blog post for this year, I will take you all on a journey through 2021, so we can see together what were the biggest events from the world of WordPress. Of course, I will also disclose some of the biggest achievements and plans that define the professional practice of the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio.

Without further ado, let’s say goodbye to the old year and fasten our seatbelts for what’s to come in 2022. I’m sure it will be nothing short of incredible!

2021: Wrapped up With a Bow

Like I already mentioned, 2021 was an amazingly successful year not only for our WordPress development company but for the web development world as a whole.

This is why, at the very end of this year, I would like for us all to take a look back and once again relive some of the most important WordPress moments that had a huge impact on our awesome community of WordPress developers and enthusiasts.

And since I happen to know a few of the best experts in our industry, I will share with you what makes the work of my friends from Vipe Studio so unique and worthy of recognition.

So, the first major thing that happened in 2021 was…

We Welcomed WordPress 5.8 “Tatum”

WordPress 5.8 “Tatum” was officially released in 2021, and it marked a brand new chapter for web publishing and WordPress website development.

The latest WordPress version is titled after American jazz pianist Art Tatum who is widely recognized as one of the best in his field.

One of the things that I and the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio loved the most about this major release was the fact that it gave administrators more control over their websites.

Another important update that WordPress 5.8 brought was Full Site Editing (FSE) which enables you to use the Block Editor to alter any element of your site. This was a very welcomed feature as it allows website owners to alter their designs without writing any code.

Our WordPress Agency for Development reminds you that Full Site Editing still has a long way to go, and we expect to see the feature in its full glory in the next updates, coming in 2022.

WordPress 5.8 also added an all-new Widgets screen and enhanced customizer. The Blocks as Widgets tool was created to complement Full Site Editing and allows users to use any block from the widget sections of the theme.

Another great thing about WordPress 5.8 was the new Blocks (like the Duotone Block) that made their way to the CMS. I and the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio really liked the fact that it is now easier to customize new effects as part of the development of WordPress themes or plugins.

WordPress 5.8 also introduced WebP Image Support, the Template Editor function, and a new pattern directory. All of these new features proved once more that with each new update release, WordPress website development achieves new heights and gets more and more professional.

We Celebrated 10 Years of WooCommerce

2021 was also marked by a big birthday celebration as we saw WooCommerce turn 10.

The Number 1 eCommerce platform in the world had a lot to celebrate because it managed to achieve amazing growth and incredible success in its first 10 years.

I and everyone at our WordPress development agency have been watching the WooCommerce team’s continued progress throughout the years.

Like I’ve said before, I believe that the incredible success of WooCommerce is primarily due to the dedication of their team, partners, and community of contributors.

2021 proved that WooCommerce is the absolute leader in the eCommerce industry, thanks to its amazing features and scalability.

I and the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio are happy to witness more and more website owners seeking professional custom WooCommerce development for their online stores’ needs.

Our WordPress development company believes that the future of eCommerce will be defined by expert services, such as custom upsell development, as well as custom checkout development.

Remember that one in four stores is powered by WooCommerce, and that tendency will only increase and grow stronger in 2022.

We Launched Our “People of WordPress” Blog Series

Here’s a personal achievement of our own WordPress Agency for Development that we’re really proud of: in 2021, we hit the start button of our “People of WordPress” blog series.

At Vipe Studio, we know for a fact that blog content is still one of the most beneficial SEO tactics you can implement for your online business.

This is why we try to provide our audience with top-notch articles that can help them understand better the process of WordPress website development, as well as acquaint them more closely with the services we provide.

Not everything has to revolve around business, though, and we, as part of the WordPress community, know that better than anyone else.

So, what better way to honour the incredible accomplishments of the WordPress community than to introduce you to some of its most prominent figures?

The content creators from our WordPress development agency launched the “People of WordPress” blog series to do just that – highlight significant members of the WordPress community.

In the series, people from the WordPress community take centre stage, so that they can share with you their amazing stories about how they first encountered WordPress, their love for the world’s largest CMS, and their contributions to it.

At the end of 2021, I and the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio would like to once again give big thanks to our first 2 guests – the incredible Evangelia Pappa and Aleksandar Savkovic – you’re amazing, thank you for your support!

We Put a Greater Focus On Headless WordPress

2021 was also the year that got the whole world talking about Headless WordPress – an innovative software architecture that separates the front-end from the back-end of your website.

Our WordPress development company believes that any business can benefit greatly from choosing a professional Headless WordPress development. Why?

The incredible thing about Headless is that organizations of all shapes and sizes can use the CMS’s back-end functionality, but it would become a reactive system thanks to WordPress’ REST API.

I and the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio can assure you that this approach is, by all means, the fastest and most secure solution for building websites. Since you’re not limited to the WordPress ecosystem, you can take advantage of a pick and mix functionality.

This means that with Headless WordPress you can add custom functionality and integrations from anywhere, which is very handy, especially for large-scale businesses that have higher technical demands for their high-traffic sites.

Speaking of large-scale organizations, this brings us to our next point…

WordPress Became a Go-to Choice for Enterprise Businesses

I will definitely remember 2021 as the year in which WordPress managed to catch the attention of the biggest fish in the sea – namely, enterprise organizations.

Since enterprises operate on a much larger scale than other businesses, it becomes imperative for them to meet and exceed the ever-growing expectations of Internet users.

Our WordPress agency for enterprise is more than happy that our favourite CMS has already proved to be a faster and more scalable solution than anything else on the market.

Fortunately, enterprise companies are beginning to understand that as well.

In 2021, large-scale organizations began to realize that WordPress is their safest bet if they want to create interactive, customized, and intelligent websites while also ensuring high security and reliability.

WordPress development for enterprise will most likely dominate the enterprise world in 2022 and beyond. Remember that the content management system a company employs is critical because it determines the quality of the digital experiences that online users have.

The web development landscape has always been incredibly dynamic, which is why many enterprise businesses are adopting the multiple CMSs approach.

While conventional CMSs are still in use, an increasing number of large-scale enterprises are adopting innovative techniques, such as the Headless WordPress development we will continue to rave about.

These cutting-edge approaches to web development provide a slew of advantages, as they complement traditional tactics while at the same time introducing advanced technology solutions to large-scale organizations.

Goodbye 2021, and Hello to the New WordPress Horizons That Are to Come In 2022!

And so, this is it, folks! I and the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio are officially wrapping up 2021, and we’re anticipating with great excitement the arrival of 2022.

From my time on Earth, I have come to understand that people love to end their year by setting up New Year resolutions that aim to keep them motivated and focused on their goals for the upcoming year.

I think this is a great tradition and I would very much like to participate in it together with my friends from our WordPress Agency for Development.

So, to end my final blog post for this year in a proper fashion, I would like to, first and foremost, express my gratitude to everyone at Vipe Studio – thank you for making Earth feel like my home and for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the wonderful world of WordPress. I am forever appreciative of you!

For 2022, I hope we continue to provide one of the best WordPress website development services on the market.

Nothing is guaranteed in this fast-changing world, but one thing is for sure – the experts at our company will never stop learning and bettering themselves in order to prove that WordPress is and will continue to be the Number 1 CMS for businesses of all shapes and sizes.

I and the WordPress developers from Vipe Studio want to personally thank each and every one of you for your never-ending support and trust in us. Whether you’re a reader of our blog, or a client whose website dreams we’ve made come true, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts, you mean the world to us!

With that being said, fill up your glasses and let the countdown begin!

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Happy New Year!

Here’s to many more WordPress achievements! Bye for now and see you next year.

Yours truly,
Viptor
