Build ‘The Guardian’ Design with Themify Flow

Made by Themify Flow guru, Michael Oglesby, this tutorial shows how to replicate the popular UK newspaper site, The Guardian, with the Themify Flow. Through the Flow framework he was able to recreate the 3 menu header layout, post category sections, and even the 4 column menu footer layout. We are very impressed with his work, and he was kind enough to share with us how he was able to do this by writing a guest post on Themify Flow Blog.

Extending Builder

The Themify Builder has a plethora of modules (you can see a list of them here: https://themify.me/docs/builder) and addons, all of which are used to add more Builder functionality. Although these cover majority of the needs of users, we're continuing to see an increase with the demand for custom modules that's made based on user design/layout. Understanding that it's impossible for us to keep up with this growing demand, we decided to create this tutorial to allow you to create your own Builder module. Advantages:

  • Easy to build for developers
  • Easy to use for anyone
  • Same functionality as the Themify Builder module
