WordPress released version 6.7 earlier this month, introducing the new default Twenty Twenty-Five Theme and greater design flexibility. Nineteen 10uppers contributed to the release, code-named “Rollins”.

This release brings more out-of-the-box design freedom than ever before, with new features such as:

  • A pared-down, flexible Twenty Twenty-Five Theme that is built to grow with your unique needs;
  • Customized font sizes with fluid typography to ensure responsive fonts no matter the size;
  • The ability to zoom out when editing content, to look at your site from a different perspective;
  • Code-free dynamic content by easily linking blocks to custom fields.

TechCrunch Relaunches in Partnership with 10up

on

Last week, TechCrunch launched a ground-up rebuild — a sleeker, easier-to-navigate, and more performant experience for the renowned tech newsroom.

The relaunch journey began behind-the-scenes earlier this year, when we upgraded their WordPress-powered backend to the block-based “Gutenberg” editor. In the months since, we worked alongside TechCrunch and its design partners to finish reimagining and building TechCrunch’s new reader experience.

Having personally been a part of multiple redesigns and upgrades with TechCrunch over more than a decade, it was a pleasure to see our team launch one of their biggest upgrades to this day. I’m grateful for the shout out and recognition of our work – and the wider set of teams we collaborated with – as part of the announcement story.
