Thrive Themes is a company and also the name of their software suite. Thrive Themes was founded in 2013 by two online entrepreneurs, Shane Melaugh and Paul McCarthy. They intended to create a fully conversion-optimized website with a good sales page.
However, the available WordPress plugins and themes weren't made for that. They created the first WYSIWYG editor for WordPress that can easily be used by the less tech-savvy to create content easily and quickly. With the visual editor, Thrive Themes was born.
Since then, Thrive Themes has created many WordPress plugins and themes. The first website builder was called Thrive Visual Editor, and now we all know it as Thrive Architect.
Thrive Architect is a website builder like Elementor. With Thrive Architect, you can create web pages easily with its drag-and-drop features. I like more Thrive Architect's user interface than Elementor's.
Thrive Architect is an excellent piece of software, but you can only create website content with it. You cannot modify with Thrive Architect other parts of a website like a header, footer, and archives. Those are the elements that are controlled by a WordPress theme.
Therefore, Thrive Themes wanted to develop software, which allowed building those theme-based elements with the same user interface as in Thrive Architect. That was a massive effort from Thrive Themes, and it took a long time until they released that software - Thrive Theme Builder.
