We've got a couple emails regarding our themes. Some people are confused about what we're doing. Some seem to think we sell just software. The fact is we build premium themes that are built on a framework that works with WordPress. So, in light of this confusion, we've decided to give a tour of our themes and their functionality that will hopefully give everyone a better understanding.
Our WordPress themes come with a framework and a set of custom widgets that are custom built by us. The framework & widgets are additional tools we use cooperatively with the packaged theme. These tools help you to customize the functionality and appearance of the theme without touching any code.
Since we've launched last week, everyone is asking about our next theme. Well, the next theme is going to be a minimal theme called ThemeMin. There is no image used in the entire theme. The design is pretty much done but we are still working on some final touches. We are looking to release this theme in a week. Below is a sneak peek of the theme.
First of all, thanks to those who've joined our affiliate program and we apologize for not having the banners ready on time. We now have a set of banners for affiliates ranging from 125x125px, 250x250px, 300x300px, 260x120px, 468x60px, and 728x90px. You may download the banners in this post or via the member panel. Let us know if you need specific sizes.
We've taken premium themes to the next level. The Themify framework was built from the ground up for scalability and flexibility. Below are some of the core features of our framework. Read the Features for more details. Also, don't forget to check out the Widgets that we bundled in the themes.
All themes come with the standard setting options (such as favicon, header & footer code, search & feed setting) plus the theme settings that let you customize the functionality of the theme without touching the template files. For example, you can set the slide show transition effect without editing the Javascript in the header.php file.
You can style almost everything, literally, any CSS property from font styles to padding to border. There is a config XML file in the theme folder which controls what to appear in the framework. Let's say you don't want the padding property to be stylable, simply delete a line of code in the config.xml file.
You can choose to switch your theme's appearance by applying a Skin which can be found in the "Skins" tab. All themes come with at least one Skin and you can create your own custom Skins within the skins/ folder. Building a custom skin is much like creating a WordPress theme. Create a new folder with the name of your desired skin within the skins/ folder. Include a style.css file with your Skins information, a preview thumbnail named "screenshot.png" and your done!
Import and Export all your custom settings and styles easily through the "Transfer" tab. We detect your version of PHP and automatically adjust the files for you. If your running PHP 5.2+ you will have access to an advanced .zip export which packages your stored settings, custom-modules.php and config.xml files all in one.
