To maintain focus and stay true to our JTBD, we explicitly will not build:
L Separate Visual Builder - No proprietary drag-and-drop interface outside WordPress L Site Management Tools - No hosting, backups, security, or server management L Theme Replacement - We enhance themes, not replace them L Complete Design Automation - No "AI builds your site" features that remove user control L Content Creation Tools - No blog post generators, content spinners, or SEO writers L Analytics Dashboard - Let Google Analytics, Matomo, etc. handle that L Email Marketing Platform - Integrate with existing tools, don't replace them L E-commerce Platform - WooCommerce does this well, we enhance it L Membership Systems - Plugins exist for this, we provide the design blocks L Proprietary Markup - Everything we build uses WordPress standards L Vendor Lock-In Features - Content must survive plugin removal
Principle: Before building a feature, ask: "Does WordPress or a popular plugin already handle this well?"

This roadmap shows what's coming and when. If you need a feature, check here first. Want to influence priorities? Join the community and share your use case.
Pick items marked with your skill level. Each major feature will have a GitHub issue with detailed requirements. Comment on issues to claim them.
This roadmap is a living document. Priorities may shift based on:
- User feedback and feature requests
- WordPress core changes (FSE evolution)
- Market opportunities
- Technical discoveries
- Resource availability
Guiding Principle: We'd rather ship fewer features that solve real problems than many features that add complexity.
Have a feature request? Here's how to submit it:
- Check this roadmap - Is it already planned?
- Describe the job - What progress are you trying to make?
- Submit an issue - Use the feature request template on GitHub
- Join the discussion - Community vote helps prioritize
Good Feature Request:
"When I'm building a services page, I want to show before/after examples of my work, so potential clients can see the transformation. A before/after slider block would let me do this without installing another plugin."
Less Helpful Request:
"Add a before/after slider."
The first explains the job to be done. The second only describes a solution.
- 2025-11-14 - Initial roadmap based on JTBD framework
- TBD - Next review after Phase 1 completion
Remember: Every feature must answer: "Does this help users build professional WordPress sites faster without learning a new system?"
If yes � Roadmap. If no � Anti-roadmap.
