Is Thrive Theme Builder Right for Your Website?

As of March 2nd, 2020 Thrive Theme Builder is available for our members!

In this video I breakdown if Thrive Theme Builder is right for your website.

Leave a comment below and let me know what you thought of the video!

I am excited about this..

"However", I am finding that Thrive University is so behind the times. I would love a set of tutorials that go from beginning to end, how to create a "converting" website.

Include in it ... when to use Optimize, as opposed to Headline Optimizer. Thrive Comments as opposed to Thrive Ovation. What is Clever Widgets? Is "Thrive Ultimatum" only for Thrive Leads? How do you use both of them?

1 - A serious orderly training on how to use Thrive. One of the reasons I am often drawn to switch to Elementor is because there is so much training available online. So many people who do "walk throughs" of creating a website.

2 - An explanation of why these plugins are not combined (other than legacy reasons).

3 - Walkthroughs with various shopping carts .. starting with Woo Commerce, then all the other "big ones".

4 - Walkthroughs with other tools that people commonly use. Whether it be: RankMath, Yoast, Cartflows, various calendars (such as Acuity) to build "highly converting websites for eCommerce".


5 - Walkthroughs and comparisons of all the various learning-management system, whether it be Thrive Apprentice, LearnDash or any other big one with a Thrive Based website.

6 - Integration Walkthroughs and comparisons of all the various member-management systems with a Thrive based website.

I recommend offering "high quality gifts, such as 1 year of free membership to people who create quality YouTube videos (that you would "vet" and approve). That would probably be way less expensive than only doing it yourself, and create more variety/styles of training. Plus, people may have their own related upsell, which would be an additional incentive.

I have ended up deciding to stay with Thrive Architect (over Elementor) .. but am feeling the pain of "lack of quality training", "lack of 3rd party addons", "difficulty for other companies to integrate well", "confusion as to what is legacy and what is TRULY CURRENT" and so forth.

There are probably many more things "training" and "compatibility" wise that people want. I'd ask the community what they want in this regard. And then make it happen. Make it easier for people to support your effort and crowdsource contributions, even if you don't want to make it easy for people to add new widgets to Thrive Architect.

Finally, it would be nice if Thrive Architect and the new Thrive Theme Builder either integrated well with WPFusion (the way Elementor is) .. or create a similar tool yourself. So that there be easy ways to conditionally decide what to show a customer/potential-customer on a web page based on their history (and tagging either in an email program such as or other CRM).

Doing these things .. but especially the training .. will help people move onto Thrive, and possibly choose Thrive over its excellent competitors (esp. Elementor).

Bottom Line - I just made the decision this last week, to make all websites I work on (that are not already Elementor Based) to be Thrive Based. I will still use Elementor for clients that need specific Elementor (or addon) features, such as various cool things for photographers (such as the ability to overlay two photos and have a viewer-controlled horizontal-wiper go between them - to demonstrate various "before and after".) I love Shane. I love the people. I love the thinking. I love the products. I disklike the horrid confusion between the various Thrive products and in the training. I dislike the lack of quality systematic current training.

After using 2 days and edited, customised all temlates. Now I'm loving theme builder. I faced some issue initially but thrive team helped me out so quickly.

can you develop a sample woocommerce site with the new TT sitebuilder?

[powellbak]

This is great! Can't wait! The next video should be how to migrate our current website to Theme Builder and get rid of Squared. :)

Hey Colin, super happy to get my hands on the new Shapeshift Theme 😱😱 I just did an unboxing video on my channel. I would love your feedback!

[Goatsontheroad]

Would love to hear about speed of the theme builder. We would love to move over our main site but would worry about the effect on the speed when compared to it's current layout. Also a video on how to change themes without loosing SEO would be a great tutorial! Thanks 😀

woocommerce archive (shop page) and individual products are not showing when activating the shape shifter theme/thrive theme builder

Hi, I am trying to understand how the Theme builder and Shapeshifter relate to each other. Why two different 'products' and what are the differences between them?

[pauloconnor]

I think this just put you ahead of Elementor... I think you guys might be winning!

Since we are a Thrive Theme member I would prefer to migrate our main site to be based on Thrive Theme builder rather than at the mercy of a third party theme that from time to time creates conflicts. So I have two questions:
1- Are there quidelines and tips about how to migrate to Thrive Theme Builder? Is it as simple as swapping a theme - Which of course don't always go as smoothly.
2-Can you provide us with some migration support? Your support team is amazing and have been so helpful on all the products we are using. This would be a great service to us, if you can help migrate.
3- Are you going to have a comprehensive tutorial on all the features and functionality?

[ShehabAlfakih]

Great, but,
1- Can I create my own element or template with the builder, or just edit and change the ready made templates you have in the builder?
2- does the builder support the RTL site and languages?

[Adornoda]

Any plans to make Thrive Theme Builder a standalone product for non-members?

[yeverett]

If I migrate from Squared to Thrive Theme Builder will if change the design of my website or effect plugins? Also, will it affect links to downloadables?

[kevchavez]

I can't seem to find where to edit the 404 page in the new Thrive Theme Builder since there's no more Thrive Options. Where can I edit it?

[paulmcdevitt]

Just find the list and naming of the products to be confusing. Do I need Thrive Themes Architect and Thrive Themes. Is one included in the other, etc.

[pineapplecrushme]

I was told having wp bakery and thrive architect could be a problem. Well wp bakery doesn’t have what thrive does for landing page building A/B testing and more. Does anyone know of having both can be a conflict?

[xxlinxx]

Could you had an pre theme focus on seo ?

[anneezbabu]

It has started rolling out along with Shapeshift theme. I have received the update 👍

[Tecnologiaparacoaches]

Can't wait until March!!! Release the Kraken!!! 🐙 \o/

[davidvanbrakel]

Cool, am going to try this out for sure!

What would be a great video (I think): why choose thrive theme builder over elementor 😀
