After seeing this Dribbble (and seeing how well it was received by the Dribbble community) by the talented, young designer, Tyler Galpin, we knew we wanted to release this on WooThemes. So we contacted Tyler, purchased the design and it has been in development recently…
What to expect? Well, Crisp will be a hybrid between a personal blog and a tumblog (available on WordPress only; not Tumblr) and you can expect minimalism, perfect typography and an amazing canvas for your new content. Here’s a teaser…

I love the crispy/pixel-ness.
Just what I am looking for! Great news guys.
Previews here and on Dribble look very promising.
No ETA I guess?
ETA is later this month.
Thus: soon.
Nice Design! Never thought of Dribbble as an alternative way to Promote / Sell designs
Might be an idea for Dan to look at!
A very fitting name for the design. This teaser looks very appealing. Kudos to you!
I would love to see more clean, minimal, yet elegantly designed themes from the Woo team. Some of us out there have businesses where it is important for us to convey a sense of style and sophistication, as well as a sense of — dare I say it — elitism, to our very select clientele. Typography, layout, and design are so integral to this impression we must convey on our website. The old adage, “less is more” really applies sometimes. A clean minimal elegant design with more white space can sometimes make the best impression. But when color is needed, I would like to prod the Woo team to pay closer attention to color selection in the future. It is said that women see far more colors than men. Perhaps you should consider consulting some women on great colors and color combinations for some of your future themes. Hint-hint, nudge-nudge.
Will keep that in mind, thanks!
Uhhh… Can’t wait! Exactly what i need for my little personal blog!
It’s a pixelperfect design! Can’t wait to give it a try.
Hey Guys….
Im confused here?
Jason Schuler from Press75 posted on Twitter this morning that he releasing this same exact theme and calling it reCapture.
Here is his Twitter post(@jschuller)
A teaser for my latest theme currently called “reCapture” http://drbl.in/43614 #press75 #wordpress Thanks to @markmcwilliams for the name.
Are they the same or different they look the same to me?
Doesn’t look at all the same to me.
And nope, it’s definitely not the same design.
LOL…Your Right!
Sorry, I never heard of Dribble and thought the Dribble sight was the actual theme.
This one’s going to be a killer!
It’s not often I have a reason to frown about WooThemes, and it’s certainly got nothing to do with this particular theme (looking great, as always), but I had my hopes up real high for a BuddyPress theme this time around
BuddyPress is not currently on our radar; or at least not as a separate theme. We are however working on adding extensive BP support to Canvas in the near future.
Thanks for the reply. It’s straightforward transparency like this that makes you guys so great =)
This is very similar to one of my Dribbble shots – http://dribbble.com/shots/18277-CraftedPixels uploaded on april 29.
Hey Ivor no offense but…. Your Dribbble shot is REALLY similar to Tyler’s original shot that was posted way back in 2009.. http://dribbble.com/shots/1777 even his newer reiteration http://dribbble.com/shots/11783 was posted a month before yours.
I am convinced that you’re trying to take credit for something that is not your original creation. So I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say here….
It was a missunderstanding, I’ve contacted the author and we talked about it. That shot was 4 months ago I totally forgot about where did I get the inspiration? I even contacted WooThemes so they can delete this comment.
Also the whole design is different. – http://dl.dropbox.com/u/780465/craftedpixels-teaser.jpg
Anyways, sorry for any inconvenience,
Thanks.
BTW that design was dropped to the garbage and redesigned – http://dl.dropbox.com/u/780465/Intermission.jpg WIP So there’s nothing similar now.
Thanks.
I understand Ivor. Thanks for clearing this up with Tyler and the Community. The design industry is a very small place and this type of thing happens more often, especially when a particular design stems inspiration.
Thanks for clearing that up!
I like it…
Any hope we can get some integration on all themes with the Google Font Directory and/or TypeKit?
That, to me, would be the bee’s knees.
The framework has Google Fonts built in, but only Canvas has theme options for setting typography… we might start including it in new themes, but the problem then is… where do we stop? Post titles? Post entries? It will require a lot of options for each theme to set all typography elements.
Magnus,
Understandable — it’s a really slippery slope! With more integration comes more problems; mainly, as you stated, where do you stop? Not just with drilling down into the various headers, entry & widget styles, but web typography services, etc…
I’ve been creating new child themes and adding TypeKit integration — mainly so I can style the typographic elements to match my client’s corresponding print collateral.
Could be a good tutorial/webcast. Hmmm….
Sounds like the perfect reason for a ‘design module’ that could be applied to all woo themes. We already have the separated framework panel as an example. The same concept could be utilized for design elements.
That way the users that want to change the elements could simply go to the design module and change whatever they like, while those who don’t care, would have no need to install the module.
This is one feature I really miss from my thesis days and would be a fantastic add-on concept for woo to consider.
If Woo would consider the ‘modularization’ concept so that when a new theme like ‘estate’ is released, then we could simply activate the new ‘estate’ module within the woo framework, and then the design module would automatically add the needed ‘tab’ to control specific design elements that apply to the ‘estate’ module.
You guys are releasing a cart soon. Well instead of being a completely dedicated theme, if it were a module for the framework, then we could all add it to our existing woo theme framework, and add in the design module, and we have complete control and easy extensibility of our woo theme.
This sure would make adding new woo features to our existing themes much much less work.
I hear you @shwn
The problem with that is that each theme has different typography and styling, so implementing a standard feature would be hard to do.
We try to keep things simple, but still push the boundaries of how we have done things before, so we hope to be more flexible in the future
You guys are such a tease!
This could be just what I’m looking for. I’ve been having a play with tumblr, which I like in many ways, but WordPress keeps pulling me back for so many reasons.
I wish we could buy your themes to use on WordPress.com. I think they are missing a trick there.
Its all very well giving teasers but you guys are EXTREMELY slow when it comes to releasing new themes, two themes a month ok no problem but you wait till the end of the month to release it.. I would prefer release every 15 days..
It varies on release date, and we have one coming on Monday so it will be on your desired schedule
Waiting is the hardest part!
yes cool
though please stick t a schedule… its hard to plan websites when you don’t know what you might be getting!
It’s almost like Christmas
Now this looks very promising and I’m really looking forward to testing it out.
Glad you’re excited about this, as this will make a very nice addition to our growing list of tumblog-like themes.
Hi guys,
any news on Crisp? At least a fullpage screenshot?
Thanks.
No more teasers…
It’ll be ready next week though.
Excited, no skin left on my fingers from tapping, tapp tapp tapping!
