February 2026 Updates: A Faster WDesignKit, New Widgets & Something Big Coming
Contents
Table of Contents
Building websites should feel faster every month, not more complicated.
So in February, we focused on speed, smarter AI workflows, and expanding creative possibilities inside WDesignKit.
From performance upgrades and improved AI template imports to new Bricks widgets and fresh template kits, here’s everything we shipped this month (and a few things we’re quietly building next).
🔥 Highlight of the Month
Smarter AI Template Import
We’ve improved how AI templates generate and import inside WDesignKit.
This means smoother imports, faster generation, and fewer adjustments after adding templates to your project.
So instead of spending time fixing layouts, you can focus on building and customizing faster.
🚀 Product Updates
We rolled out a few important improvements to make WDesignKit faster and more reliable.
⚡Quick Win
One of our users recently shared:
We love hearing how WDesignKit helps creators build faster.
😉 Did You Know?
You can build your own custom widget in WDesignKit and use it just like a native widget in Elementor, Gutenberg, or Bricks.
Your widget can still support dynamic controls, styling options, and visual editing directly inside the builder.
Perfect for developers and freelancers who want more control without losing the visual workflow.
⚙️ Tool of the Month
🎥 Watch & Learn
