Be’s old pre-built installer got the job done; but in some ways, it was a bit difficult to use.

Muffin Group, Be Theme’s developers, decided that the installer wasn’t enough intuitive and easy to work with; especially when Be, in its entirety, is an extremely efficient and easy to use website-building tool.

The Old Be Pre-Built Website Installer: Not all that bad; but not all that good either.

What needed fixing?

For one thing, you couldn’t conduct a search for a specific pre-built website, or use a filter to zero in on a category. You simply had to scroll through a large (and growing) selection of themes to find what you wanted, and scroll further to see if there might be something better.

In addition, you had to guess whether you’d installed the right plugins to make a pre-built website perform as advertised.

Fixes were made. The result? A really good installer.

• The entire selection pre-built websites can now be viewed inside the admin area. There are thumbnails for every one of Be’s 250+ pre-built websites. Simply click on a thumbnail for a live preview.

Be’s new and improved pre-built website installer.

• The problem this solved, was a need to switch back and forth from the admin area and Be’s presentation landing page to select and preview a pre-built website.

• The new installer has a live search and filter option. You can filter by category, or search for a pre-built website by theme or type; without having to leave the admin area.

• You’ll appreciate this feature more and more, as the number and variety of pre-built websites becomes larger and larger. You can choose between two or three awesome websites; instead of having to plow through a couple of hundred or more.

• Once you’ve selected your pre-built website, and click on it to preview and install it, you’ll be notified of which plugins are required for it to perform just as it does in the preview. You’ll also be told which plugins have already been installed, and have the option to install any that are missing – a definite time-saver.

See which plugins a pre-built website needs to function properly.

• Finally, you have the option to import only those parts of a pre-built website you need. You can choose to import the content, the page options, or both. As an example: You may not need all the default pages featured in a pre-built website. Select only the pages you need.

Install only those things you need from a pre-built website.
