ThemeShift.com gets a little Makeover

Once again it was time to work on a little redesign of ThemeShift.com. Yesterday I published a makeover of the entire site with some freshness. The most important things happened under the hood though.

I decided to rethink the ThemeShift website to present my themes in a better-organized way, to be more flexible in the blog section and create a ThemeShift Help Center where I explain in detailed tutorials how to get started with a theme.

A lot of things also happened under the hood. The site is now running WordPress 3.0 and with respect to website performance I switched to the W3 Total Cache plugin to speed things up a little.

1. Theme Presentation

I tidied up the theme features list and added a sidebar with the most important information and some useful links.

2. Blog Section

The new ThemeShift blog section is more flexible and dynamic than the old one. In the future I will not only post ThemeShift-related but also general WordPress stuff in this section.

3. Theme Documentation

The new ThemeShift Help Center will include tutorials on how to get started with a theme. I’m currently working on this. You will find a direct link to the help section on the ThemeShift theme options page.

    Hey,

    Love the look of your site, and some of your themes.

    I also love your forum integration. Really nice work. Is that integrated into WordPress?

    I’d love to see more premium themes with integrated forums styled for the most popular/suitable themes as an additional add-on.

    Ever thought about that?

      Hey Armen,
      thanks for your comments! The forums is based on PunBB. When I first built this site bbPress was missing too much features. And yes, sure I thought about offering bbPress themes as well. But at the moment I just don’t have the time to really get into bbPress code :-)
