As you may remember, Magento announced at the end of last year that it was acquiring Bluefoot, a CMS and page builder. Since then, the first version of Bluefoot for Magento, v1.0, was made available for Magento 2.1. With the release of Magento 2.2 on the horizon, here’s a quick look at the Bluefoot integration and how it can help your Magento store.

Here’s what we know:
– There is no support for Bluefoot in Magento 1
– Bluefoot v1.0 is currently available for Magento 2.1 Enterprise Edition
– Bluefoot will be compatible with Magento 2.2
– Bluefoot will be included in the core code and standard functionality of Magento 2.3
– There’s no guaranteed migration path for Bluefoot v1.0 to Magento 2.3

So, what is Bluefoot?
Bluefoot is a content management system and page builder. This allows non-developers to create customized pages without having to write code. For Magento 2, Bluefoot offers the following features:

– Drag and drop WYSIWYG editor: Drag and drop blocks from a simple menu, easily edit, the content, and you’re done.
– Static block integration: Works with Magento static blocks, perfect for updating content that changes frequently.
– SEO options: Like Magento, the content you create in Bluefoot includes meta descriptions, title tags, and more.
– Third party elements: Add content from third party sources, like Maps or Youtube.
– Product integration: Add products to any page or blog post.
– Open source code: Modify and customize the Bluefoot code as needed for your site.
– Support: Submit an inquiry or check out the user guides.
