Hey folks,

 

Just interested in hearing peoples views on the various Frameworks out there. I know Thesis and Thematic are probably the most popular but just wondering are there any others (better ).

 

Also I mainly use Thematic, is Thesis better?

 

Now while we are at it, does anybody want to share their favourite tips and trips for their framework of choice? It would be cool if we could create a super child theme

For me, I find that Thematic is cumbersome. I like being able to add code, and not write a bunch of functions. Personally, it makes things a lot easier to manage when you actually see the output on one file. OFC this is within reason, still using good coupling and cohesion.

Any suggestions so?

Custom coded

 

Once you start creating wp themes, and have done a few, you can knock up a theme in double quick time.

 

I don't like these theme frameworks as they are bloated and very limited to what you want to do. I find just by creating from scratch the code is much leaner and have no unnecessary code thrown in.

 

If you really want a theme framework then try out apathula, which is free. It will make you decide if it's a route you want to go down.
