We've released a new video tutorial. We used our latest theme, Corporate, as an example to show how easy it is to customize your site using our Builder.
The video highlights:
Due to popular demand from our community, we've created a theme that's designed based from our very own Themify.me site, we are proud to introduce the Themify Corporate theme. Both responsive and retina ready, Corporate is packed with multiple features, such as video background, animation, social icons, and animated progress bars, making it one of our most flexible themes that caters to any type of user.
The Corporate theme is also built with our simple and easy-to-use drag and drop Themify Builder. This allows users to create an unlimited number of layouts by simply dragging and dropping modules on a page. Download the Corporate theme and spice up your site!
The third post for our 'Customer Stories' series covers, Sander Spolspoel, a Senior Motion Graphic Designer for Sworl who was able to use Themify's builder feature to easily create and design his new website.
Hi! My name is Sander Spolspoel. I am a Senior Motion Graphic Designer for Sworl, a website that helps companies communicate their stories through animations. We build scenarios that translates products and services into narratives, craft a graphic style, pick a voice-over, and bring it all together in an animation.

Since the last framework update, released last month, many users have expressed their feedbacks about the removal of the Builder backend edit mode. Simply because you want it (we heard you), we've brought back the Builder backend mode in this update! Now you can edit the Builder in both frontend and backend mode.
Along with this update, we've replaced the image script with a more reliable and secure script. We were using WordThumb, a PHP script that automatically crops images for you and it has been saving a lot of users' time from cropping images manually. However, its drawbacks are the security concerns and server compatibility. For this reason, we've replaced the WordThumb script with a custom script that utilizes WordPress native functions to generate images with any image dimension.
On top of that, we've added retina image support in the image options. With retina image enabled, it automatically generates and displays the 2-time resolution images for devices that have retina display. In short, your high resolution images will display nice and sharp on retina devices such as MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone, Andriod, etc.
Four years ago, we started Themify with nothing more than a handful of code, and a desire to make the web a better place.
Today, we're a thriving business that has helped designers and developers quickly and easily build beautiful WordPress websites. With dozens of themes to choose from, constant updates to the Themify framework, and the release of powerful Themify plugins, Themify has grown tremendously over the past four years.
Themify has always pushed the boundaries on what WordPress themes should look and feel like, and we have enjoyed success with themes like Elemin, Pinboard, Magazine, Parallax, Flatshop, Event, Fullpane, and Music.
We also released tools that make it easier to hit the ground running, without having to know how to code, with plugins like Themify Builder, Announcement Bar, and Conditional Menus.
We've pushed out updates, large and small, to the Themify framework, making it work better, faster, and harder for all of your website needs.
We are so proud of how far we have come, and we couldn't have done any of this without our team, our customers, our friends, and our community. Thank you!
To celebrate this long and fortuitous road, we wanted to give back to everyone who has been there every step of the way. For our four year anniversary, we're offering 40% OFF any purchase, with the discount code FANTASTIC4. Coupon code expires on August 22, 2014.
