2015 was a big year for Nextend for many reasons and we are ready to leap into 2016 by continuing work on awesome products that will take your website to the next level! It was a remarkable year in every aspect but mostly because we launched Smart Slider 3. After 16 months of development, testing and tailoring, the first version was released in November, 2015. Then 4 months later we hit the 50,000 downloads and we couldn’t have got this far without our super community. Thank you to everyone! Now I’d love to give a shout-out to the past months:
New year, new website.
Okay but what’s new?
- We’ve cleaned up our website. The new Nextend is rock solid, neat and simple.
- Improved backend to manage your orders, invoices.
- New product pages for all products.
- New help center with searchable documentation for Smart Slider 2 and Accordion Menu.
