Time to give you a sneak peek at our next theme to be released — Bizco. This theme was made to be very clean and professional which is perfect for businesses and general company web sites. It takes full advantage of the new WordPress 3.0 features, such as custom post types, to manage the homepage content. Sorry, we can't say much more then that for now. We'll be looking forward to getting this new theme in your hands very soon.
Since launched in August, we've been collecting a lot of feedbacks, suggests, and bug reports. Over the last two weeks, we've focused on making our themes better. Today we are happy to announce that Themify has its first official framework update and all themes have rolled to version 1.1. We've made a lot changes and fixed a handful of bugs in both our themes and the core framework. This post will give you a little more insight about what's new or different from the last version.
We've gotten rid of a lot of redundent code and re-arranged a few files and folders in order to keep things organized.
custom_functions.php and moved to a new file custom_modules.php.cache folder outside of the themify folder into the theme root folderthemify_image() function (read more about the themify_image function)
Both Nick and I haven't had a chance, until now, to sit down and go over some of the great features with the community in a more interactive way. I'll be posting periodical tutorials on how to customize your Themify theme over the next few weeks and get down and dirty with some of the cool features we have.
For now, I've put together a simple video to show you the basics of styling your theme. There is a lot of features I didn't touch on in this video but will soon.

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.
