Astra wins best WordPress theme 2022

Astra won the WordPress theme award for the second year running. We were amazed when we won last year and even more amazed we won again.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who voted for Astra and promise to make sure to make the theme even better over the coming year!

The top 5 WordPress themes 2022 were:

  1. Astra
  2. GeneratePress
  3. Kadence Theme
  4. Hello Theme
  5. Blocksy

The votes were closer this time than last year, 639 votes for Astra to 558 for GeneratePress.

This goes to show just how hard-fought the theme battle is and how much effort every company puts in.

Spectra 6th in Block Addons (Gutenberg) category

The new and improved version of Spectra came 6th in the Block Addons for Gutenberg category.

Considering how new Spectra is and how recently we updated it to become a full page builder, we are incredibly pleased it placed so highly.

Thank you to everyone who voted for Spectra!

Thank you to the team who works tirelessly to develop and improve Spectra in every way possible.

CartFlows 2nd in the Marketing Automation Plugin category

CartFlows, our sales funnel builder plugin, came second in the Marketing Automation Plugin category.

That’s an amazing result considering we were beaten by a product as outstanding as FluentCRM.

That’s credit to the entire team who have been dedicated to updating and improving CartFlows over the past year.

Thanks to everyone who voted for CartFlows. We couldn’t do it without your support!
