Your eggs are ready, sir!
30. Oct, 2008 by Adii Rockstar in New Themes
Maybe one day in the future, we’ll start doing worldwide breakfasts where all of our fans can sit down, meet us and just chat with us over a good cup of coffee and a steady breakfast. But for now, we’d just like to know: how do you like your eggs?
Over Easy is our brand new theme and the second design that is completely targeted at our business users. The theme might have a funky name, but the rest of the theme is pure class and aimed at being a serious, valuable online presence.
DESIGN
The design was the brainchild of WooThemes co-founder – Magnus Jepson – and you’ll see that it contains many of the style considerations that has made Fresh News our most popular theme to date. We have purposefully gone for a slightly minimalistic design style with loads of open spaces, as the idea is that the theme should be customized extensively to suit your company’s brand image.
On the homepage, you’ll note that we’ve gone for a very popular structure amongst business websites at the moment; with the featured slider and 3 column secondary content. On the inner pages, you’ll see a more traditional approach with a left-sided content area and a right-hand sidebar.
FUNCTIONALITY
From a functionality perspective, one of the main features is definitely the featured scroller (similar to our VibrantCMS theme), which definitely adds a lot of value, class & sophistication to your business website. The slider is basically the first interaction a business will have with their readers and they can thus promote their most important information in style.
Beyond that, we’re trialling a new system where we’ve widgetized most of the spaces that will need custom content. For example – the 3 column secondary content section on the homepage (below the slider) are basically 3 widgetized spaces and you can thus add any widgets to those spaces. We have thus also written a few custom widgets (with their own options) to help you on your way…
YOUR EGGS ARE READY!
This is our fourth theme of the month and we might’ve just left the best for last (imho). Over Easy is feature rich and it does quite a few things quite well. But ultimately it’s great at one thing: being the perfect solution for your online, business presence.
So I think that with that said, it’s time to view the demo, purchase the theme or even better sign up to the WooThemes Club and call of our great themes for one low-price.
Oh yeah… Do let us know what you think and we’ll pass your feedback onto our kitchen staff. Tips are always appreciated! 
With compliments from the WooChefs.

…I prefer mine in an omelette, with some bacon, and a little onion!
(Interesting looking theme BTW!)
Thanks

Great theme Magnus! Simple but elegant.
It would be great for a business website, or just as good for a personal one.
Wicked stuff.

Magnus,
When you change to one of the other color schemes does the blog page change also?
Can you use the blog alone without the rest of the theme?
Trying to decide which themes to get for the 3 for 1 sale.
thx

@River Girl – Yes, all of the inner pages change colour. And you could use the blog on its own.

Thanks Adii – getting it – now deciding which other 2 designs to add to already owned Fresh News an Live Wire Developer. Will you be posting any more sample themes in the showcase? Curious to see what people have done with some of the newer themes.

Hi Guys,
Great theme and the business market is definately one to go for. I was waiting for this theme and considering it an upgraded Vibrant CMS theme.
The footer is weak. Take a cue from you’re own amazing woothemes.com site and copy the footer from there. You can even work in a widget from mailchimp or some other provider for newsletters.

Quick question on the SEO of the site – does the slider cause problems?
Looks great, but I need my site to be highly search engine friendly.
