ZipWP Year in Review 2025

A Year That Redefined What’s Possible

2025 was the year ZipWP became more than an AI website builder for WordPress. It evolved into a complete website launch platform where you can build, host, and go live faster than ever.

We reached 1 million ZipWP users in August, introduced new languages, expanded ZipWP hosting and domains, and helped thousands of creators and businesses turn their ideas into professional WordPress websites.

But before we tell you how ZipWP evolved in 2025, let’s pause for a moment.

This year wasn’t just about software features. It was about you, the freelancers, agencies, and small business owners proving that website creation can be simple, fast, and enjoyable with AI-powered site generation.

From an Idea to a Global Movement

When we created ZipWP, our goal was simple: make WordPress website creation easy for everyone.

Before ZipWP, building a site meant juggling hosting, plugins, design tools, and endless revisions. It slowed down freelancers and small business owners who just wanted to get online fast.

We built the ZipWP AI Website Builder for WordPress to change that. It turns your idea into a complete website in under a minute. No setup or coding needed, just a ready-to-edit site powered by AI.

What began as an experiment in 2023 is now trusted by over one million ZipWP users worldwide. It’s proof that simplicity wins.

The Turning Point: 1 Million Users and Counting 🎉

In August 2025, we hit one million users, a moment that defined our journey.

Creators on YouTube showcased ZipWP. Freelancers built live client demos during meetings. Agencies used Blueprints to speed up delivery. Small businesses launched their first professional websites without touching code.

To celebrate this milestone, we gathered reactions from some of the top creators and YouTubers who reviewed ZipWP in 2025.

This incredible growth came from one shared belief: building websites should be fast, enjoyable, and frustration-free.

Major Highlights from 2025

We shipped powerful updates that shaped the future of WordPress automation and AI-powered site generation. Here are a few standout moments from the ZipWP 2025 updates.

AI Site Builder Got Smarter

The ZipWP AI Website Builder for WordPress became faster, more flexible, and more intuitive this year.

• Expanded Language Support: ZipWP has always been a multilingual website builder, but in 2025 we added even more languages, including Chinese and Russian. You can now create full WordPress websites and AI-generated content in your audience’s preferred language.
• Custom Subdomain Control: When creating a new AI-powered site, you can set a unique subdomain (like clientname.zipwp.app) to keep projects neatly organized.
• Site Validity Period: Define how long a demo site remains active, keeping your workspace clean and your resources efficient.

These updates made the AI site builder 2025 release smarter for freelancers, agencies, and creators managing multiple websites.

Custom Site Builder Got More Powerful

For creators who love to plan before they build, the ZipWP Custom Site Builder became smarter and more collaborative in 2025.

• Editable Wireframes: Update headings, CTAs, and descriptions directly inside the wireframe, saving hours of post-build edits.
• Sitemap Page Control: Decide exactly how many pages your website needs before generating it.
• Shareable Links: Send sitemaps or wireframes to clients for instant feedback, no login required.

These upgrades made the Custom Site Builder a favorite among agencies and designers who value structure, speed, and seamless collaboration.

Build from Blueprints

Launching a new WordPress site is now as quick as a click.

The new Create from Blueprint option lets you start from ready-made templates directly in your ZipWP dashboard.

Each Blueprint site includes design, structure, and sample content, ready to personalize.

Perfect for freelancers and agencies who want consistent quality and faster delivery, every project now starts one step ahead.

Custom Domains – Build with Your Own Name

Your website’s address is part of your identity, and in 2025, ZipWP gave you full control over it.

• Custom Subdomains for Instant Blank Sites: Create clean, professional URLs like portfolio.zipwp.xyz or clientname.zipwp.app.
• Switch Domain Suffixes Easily: Move from default domains like zipwp.dev or zipwp.top to your own custom domain, no migrations needed.
• Root Domain Support: Connect your personal or business domain, such as course.mydigitalacademy.org, for a fully branded experience.

These updates made ZipWP domains more flexible and positioned ZipWP as a complete all-in-one website platform for building, branding, and launching WordPress sites faster.

Creative Power Meets Elementor

One of the most requested features is here. ZipWP now fully supports Elementor, the world’s most popular WordPress page builder.

Build with AI, then fine-tune everything visually using Elementor. We also added fresh Elementor-based templates to give you more creative freedom.

AI speed meets visual design control for your best websites yet.

ZipWP remains easy for beginners but now packs serious power for developers.

• SSH/SFTP Access for Blueprint Demo Sites
• PHP 8.3 and PHP 8.4 Support for WordPress Sites
• 256 MB Memory Boost for Staging/Sandbox Sites
• ZipWP Storage Add-Ons for Scaling Live Projects

Developers and designers can now work side by side with zero friction.

Truly Global. Truly Yours.

From day one, ZipWP has supported building WordPress websites in multiple languages, and every year we keep adding more so you can reach a wider audience.

In 2025, we expanded language support again across both the AI Website Builder and the Custom Site Builder, adding Chinese, Russian, German, Estonian, and others.

The Whitelabel AI Builder also received new translation options, helping agencies create localized sites for clients anywhere in the world.

With these updates, ZipWP continues to grow as a multilingual website builder, helping you build faster, communicate clearly, and create sites that feel truly local.
