Template (Engine) Version

Template Series Frameworks Theme Sources Dump Sources Font Sources Additional Sources Documentation Description
2.0.1 – 2.6 10000 – 22000 xxxxx -> themeXXXX xxxxx -> sources -> fonts xxxxx -> readme.txt The templates of this release have a standard layout (as a rule, consisting of one (rarely two) side-bar column(s) and the content). For generating content only the standard posts are used. Galleries and other necessary elements are not included, while the nonstandard elements existing in the default theme are mainly hardcoded. These templates can be useful if you, as a customer, are just interested in creating/using posts
2.6 – 2.8 22000 – 26000 + xxxxx -> themeXXXX xxxxx -> sources -> fonts xxxxx -> readme.txt Such templates are characterized by a significant improvement in their design, the quality of their layout and coding. Their functionality is still on the same low level though, i.e. no extra functions (except for the default ones) are available, JavaScript is rarely used and only in a few templates, any non-standard blocks are still hardcoded
2.8 – 2.9 26000 – 30418 xxxxx -> themeXXXX sources – > dump.sql | sources -> themeXXXX.sql xxxxx -> sources -> fonts sources -> plugins | sources -> images for post xxxxx -> readme.txt Implementing of JavaScript has started, various sliders are created (still hardcoded) , third-party plugins are added. Improvement of the general template design, though any logics in it is still missing. The templates are still lacking pages of high-quality. If the front page has no standard posts or widgets, it’s heavily hardcoded. Such templates have a limited standard functionality
3.0 + 30531 – 33000 xxxxx -> themeXXXX sources -> themeXXXX.sql xxxxx -> fonts_info.txt sources -> plugins | sources -> uploads xxxxx -> readme.txt | xxxxx -> dump_readme.txt The templates of this release are characterized by a significant change of approach to their development. Thus, third-party plugins for realization of the standard functionality have started being actively used. Experiments on finding solutions of our own. The templates of this release are still non-standardized, so any ways to implement any extra functionality or any major customization are still limited
33000 – 35164 Framework 1.0 (based on Whiteboard Framework) xxxxx -> themeXXXX sources -> themeXXXX.sql xxxxx -> fonts_info.txt sources -> plugins | sources -> uploads xxxxx -> readme.txt | xxxxx -> dump_readme.txt The developers has decided to use a framework of their own as a base for creating templates characterized by the standard approach for performing most common tasks. A gradual refusal from using third-party plugins and creating their substitutes of our own have started. On creating the framework, a new user-friendly configuration page (Theme options) has appeared and evolved. An approach against using a hardcode in templates (to use widgets, shortcodes or though the admin of WordPress for making changes) was established
3.1+ 35164+ Framework 1.2 xxxxx -> themeXXXX sources -> themeXXXX.sql xxxxx -> fonts_info.txt sources -> plugins | sources -> uploads xxxxx -> documentation These templates were released with normal pages based on shortcodes thus making the process of building content much easier. A gallery page (Works, Projects etc) has appeared . The template configuration page (Theme Options) was improved and updated. An updated documentation .html file that describes the major aspects of template installation and customization was added
37500+ Framework 1.3 xxxxx -> themeXXXX sources -> themeXXXX.sql xxxxx -> fonts_info.txt sources -> plugins | sources -> uploads xxxxx -> documentation Continuous improvement of the framework is going on. The quality is rasing up with every template produced. For instance, a multi-lingual support was added
3.2+ 39074+ Responsive Framework 1.3.1 xxxxx -> themeXXXX xxxxx -> themeXXXX xxxxx -> fonts_info.txt sources -> plugins | sources -> uploads xxxxx -> documentation Producing of responsive templates has started
40645+ Framework 1.3.1+ sources -> themeXXXX.sql WordPress with booking forms. Now the templates have a working ordering form with the ability to check the data entered and getting a feedback. I.e. an order email will comes at the site administrator’s email address. If the template design comes without the ’email’ and ‘phone’ fields, orders are made through the form and an additional page
407хх+ Framework 1.3.1+ sources -> themeXXXX.sql Support of the child-theme added, including the theme-customizer (only for WordPress 3.4 and above), background improved (added meta-boxes to customize the content easily, custom portfolio post improved)
