Themify – WP Vendor of Choice
If you need good WP responsive theme take a look at Themify. I have used several of their responsive themes – and I choose them for many reasons. If you want an easy to use and style, stable and supported theme – go with Themify.
The Grido theme which I use on www.flyingclouddesign.com ( the parent site for this blog) has a look similar to pinterest – where I can display my product line in one visual. The seem to have a grasp of visual design standards – and have attracting looking themes.
On the backend, Themify developed a framework that is accessed through a link on the dashboard. This I found intuitive and easy to use – which I need for my clients who want to edit their sites with limited knowledge of coding. Through this framework you can format pages, style fonts, colors backgrounds, etc.. Also each page has an area for formatting or styling.
On the downside – as with all WordPress installs – using Grido can be cumbersome and slow to load – especially with the amount of graphics I tend to use. I found that I needed to use a caching plug-in to help it along – but slow loading could be a hosting issue. Also, I had a problem with the feature image appearing – which I needed make a work around.
Even at this, I recommend Themify to all my WordPress clients. I love the way their themes look on all devices – desktop and mobile – this is very important to my clients who depend on a point of sale through their websites. The themes seem stable and work with my plug-ins. Themify themes are developed and designed well, they are easy to use, and don’t seem to have compatibility problems with plug-ins.
The MAIN reason I keep going back to Themify is their great tech support and forum. It seems no matter how well a theme is developed – someone always wants something different than what is built into the theme. But Themify support is attentive to resolve issues, which in my case are mostly esthetic. They go beyond expectation – if I can’t resolve a problem by searching their forum database I can post my issue and usually get a reply in a couple of hours – you can’t beat that!
