Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

How does Themeframe look under the hood?

Help How does Themeframe look under the hood?

I've been evaluating a number of theme frameworks under the hood for a month or so now.

I'm looking at Genesis, which has very tight code with few calls to the server, but which is not WYSIWYG;

Headway, which doesn't have quite as tight of code but is more WYSIWYG;

iThemes Builder, which has pretty good code and is fairly WYSIWYG;

Hybrid, which again has very good code but requires a good knowledge of CSS;

Gravy, which is more of a design tool,

And Themeframe.

One of the best articles I've seen that compares 3 of these is this article, the Premium Theme Framework Smackdown. It made me look at things like calls to the server, compliance and mySQL issues.

How does Themeframe compare in these ways? If it's competitive here, that would be awesome. I've been happily using Atahualpa for a year on a couple of different sites.

All I can say is I have tried many "frameworks" (Thesis, Genesis, Builder, Artisteer, and Hybrid to name a few) and keep coming back to Atahualpa/Themeframe.

Is it fast? Is the code compliant? Are there any sites built with it that I could see? I'm sitting here parked on Paypal, but my financial situation is pretty precarious at the moment, so I really need to be sure about this.

Thanks!

Themeframe is still in beta bookmom. The reason to get in now is for a reduced price. What do you want to use it for? Are you a developer or do you want it for you own site?

Flynn has always impressed me with his knowledge of SEO, compliance, etc. and is a lot more level headed about this whole issue than many. In all of my wanderings around the net these things are discussed and discussed with many differing opinions.

I can't tell you to buy or not. If money is real tight maybe this isn't the right time. I am still using Atahualpa for all my development but suspect at some point Themeframe may be a better choice. Be aware that Themeframe still requires some knowledge of CSS but gives you a lot of WYSIWYG adjustments. The video gives you a pretty good idea of what it is like.

Let us know if you have more questions.
