Hey folks, Mike here from Ollie. Today, I’m thrilled to share some major updates we’ve been working on for Ollie and Ollie Pro!

Along with some rocket-fuel-powered performance enhancements, we’ve also added some powerful new features to help you design even faster in WordPress’s full-site editing experience.

Performance that keeps getting better

Performance has always been a top priority for us with Ollie Pro. Browsing patterns from a cloud library is no simple task to get right – there are a lot of moving parts involved in delivering hundreds of patterns quickly and reliably. Yet with each release, we continue to make the experience faster and more seamless.

Our latest update introduces pagination and local-first favorites, significantly reducing the number of requests needed to load patterns. This means you’ll spend less time waiting and more time designing.

We’ve also optimized how patterns are loaded and cached, ensuring that your most-used patterns are instantly available when you need them.

Work faster with new tools

When you’re in the flow of designing page sections or building out full layouts, every second counts. That’s why we’ve added new tools to help you work even faster:

• A new toolbar button for instant access to the pattern library
• Keyboard shortcuts to launch patterns without leaving your keyboard
• Instantly launch the pattern modal when you add the Ollie Pro block to the page

These additions might seem small, but when you’re building sites daily, these time-savers add up to a significantly smoother workflow. As someone who uses Ollie Pro every day myself, I can’t believe we didn’t do this sooner!

Fresh look for OllieWP.com

We’ve given our website a much-needed refresh! The new design includes a revamped account page for users and additional resources to help you get started quickly with Ollie. We’re constantly working to improve the onboarding experience and make it easier for you to build stunning WordPress websites.
