Elemental WordPress framework by ProThemeDesign.com is described by its developer, Ben Gillibanks, as a “versatile powerhouse.” Having built it initially for his own WordPress website, it has been developed with all the care and articulation that a top pro pours into his own work. Now Ben shares it with others who want the same combination of flexibility and sophistication that he demanded of himself for his own application. When it comes to building a WordPress site, what’s important is the framework that the site is built upon.
Ben has over 10 years of experience in website development, with Elemental in development for over 2 years. Elemental buries the competition. The particularly interesting and innovating aspect of Elemental from ProThemeDesign.com is that, while most WordPress frameworks are built around child themes, Elemental was designed specifically to look fantastic without a child theme. It’s a theme that provides simple and clean elegance, without clutter or complication.
Elemental is not only aptly named, but it is feature rich. Take a look at what it provides any demanding user:
• Control panel options customized to control typography, navigation, column size and other components of the site.
• A masthead that is customized with image and logo controls.
• Multi-level drop-down menus that are animated for easy navigation.
• Emphasis on SEO.
• 4 separate regions developed for the use of widgets.
• Widgets that can be customized for social networking, Twitter updates, popular posts and other social networking uses.
• Convenient breadcrumb navigation.
• A dozen page templates that are customizable to use as site maps, image galleries, contact forms, blogrolls and just about anything else you can think of.
• An admin bar that can be customized for dashboard shortcuts.
• Thumbnail resizing of images. TimThumb is an image cropping and resizing script created at Pro Theme Design, which now has a world wide popularity, in use by hundreds of themes.
• Elemental provides support for author comments, paged comments and threaded comments, highlighting and gravatars.
• Via action hooks, there are additional customizable content areas.
• Elemental also provides localization and translation support.
• Even though Pro Theme Design’s Elemental is a powerhouse framework and is all anyone ever needs, you will find here, too, some of the most lush and flexible themes to be found anywhere.
