When we created Semplice in 2014, we didn’t call it Semplice 1. It was our first and only portfolio product. There was nothing to compare it to. Little did we know, we would soon have a strong community allowing Semplice to become better and better.

This month, we officially released Semplice 5. The team spent almost a year working on new features and we couldn’t be more proud of the final product. (Thank you to our beta testers who made it our smoothest launch ever.)

Every decision behind Semplice 5 was made to not only help you create your best portfolio, but allow you to enjoy the building experience more as well.

We added Master Blocks to help you build more efficiently, as well as 58 new Block layouts.

We created a night mode for those like ourselves who prefer late night work sessions.

We made tons of tiny refinements and streamlined the Semplice interface to make it more intuitive.

We created new transitions, new grids, new cover effects, modules and more that help you showcase your work in different, beautiful ways.

And we introduced Club, a subscription option for the hardcore Semplice supporters who prefer it. (For those who don’t, you can still pay once, just like before.)

Thank you, as always, for supporting our little independent business. We didn’t know what to expect when we launched Semplice five years ago. We are grateful and happy to say it just keeps getting better.

Thank you for reading!
