Key Features

Build secure, high-performance websites while keeping all the convenience of WordPress

All

Shifter generates static sites that are inherently resistant to unauthorized access, giving you robust security out of the box. This greatly reduces the risk of attackers reaching your server internals or admin dashboard.

Theme Function

Theme Function

This feature lets you create your own front-end design. Choose your favorite from WordPress’s official general-purpose themes and easily customize it.

Plugin Function

Plugin Function

You can extend functionality using official WordPress plugins. Over 59,000 plugins are available for free on “.org”.

Block Editor

Block Editor

Uses the WordPress block editor. Every element within your content, such as headings, paragraphs, and images, is a block, allowing for intuitive editing.

Media Management and Editing

Media Management and Editing

Upload images and videos by dragging and dropping them. You can easily insert images and galleries into your content. Image editing, such as resizing, cropping, rotating, and flipping, is also available.

Content Updates and Management

Day-to-day updates are simple. Just like updating a blog, you can update your site by entering text and inserting media from the dashboard.

Simple Workflow

Category and Tag Settings

You can set “categories” to broadly classify the type of article, and “tags” for finer classification. You can create a hierarchical structure to manage your articles.

Custom Post Creation

In addition to the built-in post types (posts and pages), you can use “custom posts” to freely edit the dashboard.

WordPress has five types of user roles (administrator, editor, author, contributor, and subscriber), and you can assign permissions to each team member individually. IDs and passwords can also be changed individually.

Page Templates

Page Templates

This feature lets you change the design depending on the page. By creating multiple templates and selecting them from the dashboard, you can use different designs and functions for each page.

Revision Control

Revision Control

WordPress saves a history of changes to your articles (revisions), letting you revert to a saved draft at a specified date and time. You can also set a maximum number of revisions to save, keeping data storage in check.

Theme Customizer

Theme Customizer

This feature lets you easily edit your website’s design and displayed content from the WordPress dashboard. Since the preview updates in real time, you can make adjustments and updates with ease.

Custom Menus

Custom Menus

You can easily customize menus, such as pages and category lists, from the dashboard and display them on your website. It’s also possible to create complex menus and display them in multiple locations.

Widgets

Widgets

Widgets are parts that are displayed in fixed positions on your website or blog. You can place widgets, such as images, text, search boxes, and post lists, in areas like your website’s sidebar or footer.
