As the leader in WordPress Crowdfunding, we’ve been working very hard to iterate, add new features, and ensure that our product’s release cycle matches the pulse of the current fundraising market. If you look at the pace of recent releases, you’ll see that major version updates are being released faster than ever. Unfortunately, we’ve been so busy building new…
Our core DNA is that of a plugin company, not a theme company, which is why we devote so much of our time to new WordPress products, and so little to new WordPress themes. This is not to say that themes are unimportant, it’s just that as a small team, our time is fixed, and therefore must…
We’re excited to announce that as of version 1.7.1, IgnitionDeck Commerce now provides the option for users to upload custom avatars via their front-end dashboard. Our avatar editor takes advantage of standard WordPress filters, which means that custom avatars will take effect globally, and can easily be modified via WordPress’ filters and hooks. Yes, that means no more…
When running a crowdfunding or e-commerce platform, it is not uncommon for a site to have hundreds of products to sort through. This makes product administration very difficult, and the end result is that the site owner spends more time managing products than selling them. Our solution to this problem is a new feature that…

This is why we’ve spent the past several months developing a new set of fundraising modules for IgnitionDeck, and why we’re excited to take the next step and reveal our charity theme for WordPress….
For its first year or so, IgnitionDeck was offered as an all-in-one package with zero extras aside from a choice of skins and themes. Eventually, we decided to offer some additional functionality (stretch goals, FAQ/Updates, Kickstarter integration, etc) in the form of extensions. Some of these extensions were free, and the rest either required an extra…
In our last post about passing the value down, we went into great detail about how continuous development on a product creates the ability to steadily offer more value at a better or identical price point. IgnitionDeck Crowdfunding will now be free outright, and IgnitionDeck Commerce will, for the first time ever, have a free version. Our…
One of the things we love about building software is that each new day of development gives us the opportunity to make improvements to a product, deploy the changes, and see instant results. To examine something like IgnitionDeck, which started with very humble beginnings, is to see that as bugs are fixed, improvements are made, and features…
We’re all familiar with the old adage “you’ve got to spend money to make money.” Unfortunately, many newbie crowdfunders seem to forget this reality, and it’s easy to understand why.
