BdThemes’ Year in Review 2025: Epic Wins & Bold Milestones

2025 was a fantastic ride for BdThemes. We hit major milestones, grew rapidly and sparked numerous fresh ideas. Early on, we gave ourselves an incredible makeover, rebranding to Sigmative.

Looking back over the past year, we have built a strong team, with Al-Emran joining as CTO. This resulted in massive growth under his leadership towards the end of the year.

We launched exciting new products and created memories that’ll last, all while teaming up to propel Sigmative to thrilling new heights.

Selim Rana, founder and CEO of Sigmative, said:

❝I’m blown away by our team’s dedication and energy. Their passion, creativity and hustle are the real heartbeat of Sigmative’s success. Together, we’ll shape a fantastic future ahead.❞

Throughout the blog, we will tell you how our 2025 was and the memorable moments and achievements of this year. So let’s first start with the story behind the rebranding as Sigmative.

BdThemes to Sigmative Journey

BdThemes is the proud creator of Elementor and top-performing addons for WordPress, including top titles like Element Pack, ZoloBlocks, Prime Slider and Ultimate Post Kit. The company has marked a decade of its service with sheer dedication.

However, our team decided not to confine our creativity to just WordPress templates or plugins. We want to bring our creativity and ideas to other platforms and new technologies.
