Website Builder Became the Centre of the Product

Basker v5 makes the no-code Website Builder 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 manage far more of a public website directly from Basker. Themes handle brand and structure, the Website Builder handles day-to-day page composition, and event and content data stay connected to the CMS.

Admin changes

v5 also carries a substantial admin upgrade: stricter field contracts, safer drafts, more predictable nested pages, improved onboarding media, and more intentional query defaults. No-code editing depends on these, not just on new blocks over old admin behaviour.
