Break to Build

9

by Adii Rockstar in Interactive

We’ve always been massive advocates of enabling WooUsers to customize the heck out of our themes. Customizability is one of the key selling points of our themes – thanks to the solid codebase that is our WooFramework.

This tweet by a WooThemes fangirl, Lara Dickson, sums up our mission in this regard quite elegantly:

Dear @woothemes, I love you. I can tear you apart, build you up again, and you never complain. Love, Deepdish

We never complain, in fact we encourage it. Our Showcase is a major source of customization inspiration for WooTheme owners, we are hugely proud of enabling our users to do whatever they want with our themes.

You should try it sometime…

    How about including a blank child, ready to go, with all of your themes? That would certainly take it to the next level and would be easy for you to do.

      That would be AWESOME! Ready to go child themes would make things even easier!

    Personally I think one thing woo shoul ahve done long ago is e-commerce style theme with Word press. I would particulary vote for an integration with the ever popular datafeedr

        You guys are reading my mind… having just built one for a client yesterday, I was thinking of making this same suggestion!

        And, I second Deepdish’s tweet; I’ve customized a variety of premium themes for many clients, and Woo’s are hands-down the easiest, fastest, best themes to work with. (In fact, I’m thinking of limiting my clients to only use WooThemes – others are too much of a headache!)

        Whenwhenwhen? I am currently planning on an online shop and won’t do it without Woo! I will totally buy your theme the second it is available. Could you please give me a note?

          We are hoping for this month, but may be next month if we don’t get it ready.

    I haven’t as yet used Woopress but I have bookmarked it for my next blog-fest. It sounds like just what I’ve been looking for. Being able to customise it has got to be a tremendous bonus.

    So many themes you buy are ‘nearly’ there but when you start building them you find that you can’t do exactly as the design requires as you develop your site.

      No theme will be perfect for your specific needs unfortunately, which means that it would require at least some modification to make it perfectly suited to your requirements. So that is exactly why we put such an emphasis on the customizability of our themes.
