Drag and Drop Layout Manager

Using the drag-and-drop “Layout Manager” you can create custom layouts for any page or post. Attach custom headers and footers to your layouts and interchange them as needed. This provides incredible flexibility so that you decide how your site looks instead of the theme deciding for you.

Contact Form Builder

You can add custom fields to your contact forms from the admin options. Any number of custom fields can be created and attached individually to any form. Includes options for custom validation, custom error messages, ** CAPTCHA ** and more.

Unbranded White Label Admin

An unbranded administrative interface with options to add your logo to the admin as well as and other company details, set permissions to restrict client access to theme options and more. To disable access to advanced developer features you can optionally hide the developer panels before turning the site over to your client.

Sidebar Generator

Create unlimited sidebars and add them to your custom layouts. You can also insert sidebars directly into any content area using a special shortcode!

Coded with Care

The theme uses ** HTML5 ** and ** CSS3 ** to create advanced styles using the latest technologies. Proper heading tags and coding standards are used to ensure outstanding search engine optimization. We take pride in creating well formatted and easily managed code.

And a lot more!

We’ve built this theme jam packed with so many incredible features and functionality they can’t all be listed here.

Some nice things customers are saying…

You would be crazy not to purchase this theme, it’s got Everything!!! – furious373
Congrats on a great theme. I only wish I had found this sooner and not wasted my money on other themes. – Cheers Tony
This great theme is created by someone with a great vision. I’ve been playing with it for a while now and all I can say is “wow”. This could very well be the future of Wordpress. I really think it is!
It is just beautiful—well crafted and deep in its options. Thank you for the fine work.
It’s actually the best theme out of more than the 100 themes I bought on the forest…
This is an amazing looking theme. YOU HAVE JUST RAISED THE BAR when it comes to themeforest designs. Thank you!!!.
I just bought this theme like 2 days ago and wanted to say, out of the hundreds of WordPress themes I’ve used this is literally the best and pretty much makes the rest obsolete since you have so many options, with containers/layouts and shortcode especially. I won’t even have the need to look for another WordPress theme for a long time. 35 dollars is a steal!!
Firstly this is a fantastic theme. I’ve never seen a slider like that before, and the admin options are astounding.
This Theme may be the best theme ever made. I am a novice at Wordpress, but Andy has built a templete even I can use. It takes some time for sure to find all the cool things you can do. I have already begun to migrate my Joomla corporate site over to wordpress because this theme has everything I need. The most powerful feature may even be the custom forms.
I have purchased about 10 themes on here and the support given by this seller is clearly the best!
Another awesome theme! I think I own all of your themes!
I bought this theme sometime last week and have been working to set it up on my test site, learning the ropes as they say and I think there is a lot of power in the theme. It caught my eye from the first moment and I purchased it. I think the power lies in the fact that it can be customized for almost any page, different settings for headers, layout, footers etc.
Above and beyond what others are doing, it has endless possibilities.
This theme rocks! OK, so I am a fairly experienced WordPress Developer but you can slot together a website in 60 minutes flat! That has to be a record! Nice job with this theme. Love the new config options, whole new way of putting together a WordPress theme *
*I’m just beginning to understand the features of this Wordpress theme and I can say, damn, this is the best Wordpress theme I’ve ever seen!
