Basker v5: Website Builder Becomes The Centre Of The Product

Basker v5 turns the no-code Website Builder from a major feature into the primary way teams manage public websites. The release includes a new design system, blueprints, reusable content, static header and footer generation, a local theme development path, a rebuilt block model, CLI improvements, and packaged site starts.

What the shift means

Teams can now manage far more of a public website directly from Basker. Themes handle brand and structure. The Website Builder handles day-to-day page composition. Event and content data stay connected to the CMS.

The admin foundation beneath it

v5 also carries a substantial admin upgrade: stricter field contracts, safer drafts, more predictable nested pages, improved onboarding media, and more intentional query defaults. These are prerequisites for no-code editing to work reliably rather than just adding new blocks on top of old admin behaviour.
