So here you have it!
As always with WooThemes there is a range of colours to chose from, and a really easy to manage back end, which means whichever layout you chose - it’s always easy enough to manage.

That’s right, we’ve worked on a Joomla Theme. Although we love Wordpress we realize it’s not everybodies’ first choice of CMS. So we felt it was only fair to make something just as pretty as our Wordpress themes for the Joomla people.
The result, Hallmark, a premium Joomla theme ideal for running news/magazine sites - or your own personal blog. We’ve even included a custom styled comments system, something which is optional but really is pretty and can help add that extra bit of interactivity to your website.

A redesign can be worth its weight in gold if you get it right. There is a thin line between freshening up your design, and taking a step backwards with a redesign. Sometimes a redesign can be subtle and simple, and other times it can be a huge re-vamp of a company and it’s goals. Here’s a look at some of my favourite re-designs in no particular order.
This is an ideal example of how a subtle upgrade can make a huge difference.
A completely different direction and modern feel. A huge improvement!

First off, I’d just like to introduce myself. My name is Spencer, and I am the lead developer here at Function. I’m the guy that takes Liam’s awesome designs, and turns them into working sites.
Liam had this design laying around, and I knew I couldn’t let it go to waste. So, I’ve spent the last week or so, coding and perfecting this theme. The theme is great right out of the box, ready to be used by anyone or very easily customized.

Everyone loves finding new sites with great content, so I’ve made it a little easier. Here is a collection of new websites and blogs with quality content. I’ve chosen these blogs based on the quality of their posts & resources and not the design. At the bottom there is all of the RSS feeds, so you can keep yourself updated with all of the sites featured.
From what I can see, this site only went live on July 25th, and it’s already had some popular content. I suggest you check out the 300+ Free Hi-Res Grunge Textures, as it’s my favourite at the moment.
A very well organized and well focused blog with some brilliant tutorials, links, resources and articles. So far there has been a lot of great posts, and I don’t see any signs of this changing. I was really impressed with the tutorial on Designing with Swirls & Flourishes, really top notch tutorial.
