Thematic is a wonderful theme framework. Its fast, coded semantically, with SEO goals in mind and is extremely flexible. However, every time I create a Thematic based child theme (which is on every installation of WordPress I do now), I take certain steps to get it to the CMS status I need. A few weeks ago I decided to bite the bullet, stop wasting time and create a more solid starting point for myself.
So why is this even worth downloading? Well lets take a look at what is included...
- Predefined directory structure
- Separated CSS styles (suckerfish styles)
- Default.css style included in default style.css file
- functions.php heavily commented and ready for code customization
- "Hero Area" for inserting some sort of featured content
- Custom header that is required for most CMS style sites
- Homepage Page template
- Theme options page *NEW*
- Conditional Logic separating styles *NEW*
- Post thumbnail support *NEW*
- Integration with the Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin *NEW*
- Configurable Options *NEW*
Now... Download the file and take a look...
