2015 Recap

2015 was a really big year for Roots. It was the first year that we really executed on our vision of providing a suite of modern tools to make WordPress development easier and better. This was achieved with two major changes: releasing Sage and Trellis.

The first half of 2015 was extremely busy with re-branding, renaming projects, and releasing big initial versions. While the second half of 2015 was mostly spent stabilizing those projects and incrementally improving them.

Here’s the quick breakdown of our year:

• Renamed the starter theme to Sage
• Renamed bedrock-ansible to Trellis
• Released 8 versions of Sage
• Released 12 versions of Bedrock
• Released 4 versions of Trellis
• Guests on The Changelog podcast
• Created the Roots Radio podcast and released 11 episodes
• Created the Roots Example Project
• Migrated from Gumroad to Easy Digital Downloads
• Started selling the Gulp and Bower screencast
• Started selling the Sage eBook, released 2 versions
• Started selling licenses for Soil, released 9 versions
• Started work on roots-cli
• Started work on Sage 9

We’ll have more information on Sage 9 available as we continue to figure out the roadmap. There’s still a lot more to come in 2016, and we look forward to growing our tools as the web development world goes through changes.

Thank you for all of your continued support!
