Let’s hit rewind and see how we got here
Take a look back at the key moments, challenges, and achievements that have shaped our story and brought us to where we are today.
Where it all began
Nextendweb was founded by two university friends, Roland Soós and Dániel Dávid, who shared a passion for web development. What started as a side project soon turned into a real business with the launch of our first WordPress plugins – the Accordion Menu and Smart Slider 2.
Say hello to Social Login
We introduced the free version of Nextend Social Login, making it easier than ever for users to log in with their favorite social accounts. It quickly became a go-to tool for WordPress site owners.
New arrival: Smart Slider 3
We released Smart Slider 3, a powerful and intuitive slider plugin that redefined visual storytelling in WordPress. It became our flagship product and the heart of our team’s creative energy.
300,000 reasons to smile
Smart Slider 3 reached 300,000 active installations! We were thrilled to see how many websites around the world trusted our plugin to showcase their content.
Half a Million and counting
Just one year later, Smart Slider 3 surpassed 500,000 active installs, doubling its user base in record time. The growing community of users inspired us to keep improving, innovating, and listening closely to feedback. It was a milestone that fueled our momentum even further.
Shining bright with 5 stars
Hitting 1,000 five-star reviews on WordPress.org in 2023 was a huge milestone for us. It’s a true reflection of the trust our community places in us. Every kind word and shared story reminds us why we’re here: it’s not just about building products, it’s about helping people bring their visions to life, one slider at a time.
