Blesta 6: A Paradigm Shift
We have been hard at work on the next major version update for Blesta, watch the video for a sneak peek. Sound on + full-screen.
This changes everything
Paradigm: The all-new Blesta 6 Admin UI. Built in house from the ground up on Bootstrap 5, it has a sleek, responsive, modern interface that adapts to your preferences. Dark mode. Light mode. Streamlined power in every touch, it’s a brand new vibe.
This isn’t just a new template. This is a whole new admin experience.
- Three-tier architecture - Customizable icon bar, collapsible side navigation, and contextual side panels.
- Designed dark, not retrofitted - Dark mode designed from the ground up, not tacked on, with perfect contrast ratios.
- Context-aware side panels - Ticket views, quick actions, nav, and more adapt to what you’re working on.
- Still feels like Blesta - Familiar layout. Bulk actions, filtering, expandable sections and more work even better.
- Mobile without compromise - Genuinely functional mobile experience, not just a squeezed-down desktop view.
- Built for power users - Keyboard shortcuts, drag-and-drop, quick actions, and intelligent notifications.
- Intelligent persistence - Use of LocalStorage allows Blesta to remember your preferences like never before.
We’re only scratching the surface here, there’s a lot more that we’re not ready to share just yet. The new admin interface represents countless hours of design, development, and refinement. You really need to experience it to understand the difference. Blesta version 6 is coming in early 2026 and that is just the beginning of several massive new features and improvements planned throughout the year.
The soundtrack to innovation
Every paradigm shift deserves its own soundtrack. The full, original song is included below, give it a listen:
Why dark mode matters
We’ve heard you. Billing software shouldn’t burn your retinas. A modern Admin UI with dark mode was overdue, we’ve been rocking the same design since 2013. Whether you’re approving orders at 2 AM or responding to tickets in a dimly lit office, dark mode is there for you. And when the sun comes up? You can switch to light mode with a single click, but if you’re like us you might just prefer dark mode all the time.
Built for the future
Bootstrap 5 is a solid foundation for many modern web applications. By rebuilding the admin interface on Bootstrap 5, we’ve ensured that Blesta 6 will not only work and look great, but make it much easier for developers to build great looking interfaces within their own plugins and modules. This goes far deeper than a theme update—we’ve modernized core infrastructure including a new notifications system that developers can integrate their plugins with directly. A component library is planned to help maintain consistency across custom developments.
The new UI is more than just aesthetics. It’s about efficiency, usability, and creating an experience that makes managing your company genuinely enjoyable.
What do you think?
Are you excited about the new admin interface? Will dark mode change how you work? We’d love to hear your thoughts! It’s our hope that you’ll say, “Who knew I could love software this much!”.
