SEO (Search engine optimization)
The theme is built with SEO best practices in mind. It uses semantical valid HTML code and CSS so search engines can index the content of your site with ease. Important content is always placed before unimportent in your source code (eg: Blog Post content before Sidebar), Headlines are wrapped in heading tags (h1, h2, h3 etc) to signalise their importance to search engines. The site also uses heavy internal site linking, which is also of vital for search engines (related posts, breadcrumb navigation, primary and secondary navigation menus, footer navigation) With this Wordpress Template you are well equipped to get a high google ranking and attract visitors

Aviaslider: A self built block Slider and one of the first of its kind. Supports Videos as well as Images and a ton of different transitions. take a look here
Fade Slider: A basic fade slider for sublte transitions, in case you dont want to draw to much attention to the sliding effect. Supports Videos and Images as well.
Caption Slider: A slider that emphasizes the Image caption and allows to add Buttons that not only link to any other page but also do work as slidecontrolls, so your user gets a 1-2-3 Step experience. The Slider is perfect if you want to create any landing pages. See my example here
Colors, Fonts
The theme comes with a built in font selector in case you want to change the tone of your website by changing the font. You can also use choose between a light and a dark default skin and with the help of color selectors for links, background image and color (if in boxed layout) create a unique layout in a matter of seconds
Default Layouts
The Theme comes with a lot of pre built layouts for almost everything you can imagine: 3 different default Blog layouts (small, medium and big preview image) which can either be displayed with left or right sidebars, or even dual sidebar layouts. This default option can be overwritten for each post individually so you always can select the layout fitting best to your entry. Same goes for pages: sidebar left, right and medium options as well as no sidebar at all. you can choose from more than 10 different portfolio overview layouts with columns ranging from 1 to 4 and different sidebar options. The single portfolio page as well as the single blog page come with related posts to encourage you visitors to stay longer and help serarch engines crawl your site. Other than that you also get an archive temolate, single portfolio, 404, search page, contact form etc etc
Thats not enough? Then use
Dynamic Templates
Build templates in a matter of seconds with a drag and drop interface that allows for almost any combination of posts and page content possible. Want to build a 2 column page without slidehsow? easy. A landing Page with a 1-2-3 Step slider? Done in seconds. Check out this short demo video to see how its done: Template Builder Demo
Sidebars & Widgets
As mentioned above you can set a default sidebar alignement for posts and pages, and also overwrite this alignement for each single post and page. you can choose to display a left, a right or both a left & right sidebar. You can add custom widget areas for specific pages that will only appear on those pages then.
The theme also comes with built in extra widgets:
- Combo Widget (display popular entries, latest entries and tags in a tabbed widget area)
- Recent News (recent news widget with post thumbnails)
- Recent Portfolio entries (recent portfolio widget with post thumbnails)
- Advertising (125×125 advertising areaswith linking option)
- Twitter (display latest tweets. also able to exclude @replies)
- Tweitter + RSS follower count (show your twitter follower count as well as your feedburner rss count)
Unobtrusive Javascript and Browser support
The theme works with unobtrusive javascript which degrades gracefully if the user browser doesnt support it. This means the layout will still be functional (dropdown menus for example) and the content accessible.
The theme supports all major new browsers (firefox3,4,5,6+, IE7,IE8, IE9+, Safari, Opera Chrome) For older browsers (namely the forsaken IE7) not all options are available and will displayed pixel perfect but as always the content will be fully accessible to your users so you dont lose any visitors due to their inability to read your content
Shortcodes
Refer to the Shortcodes page for examples. You dont have to memorize those shortcodes and enter them by hand: a visual shortcode editor will guide you through that process. See a short demo Video here
Portfolios
Choose from a dozen portfolio layouts (1-4 columns, sidebars left, right). Use any number of slideshow images or videos per entry. A resizebale Slideshow at the single page portfolio template makes sure that your content is presented in the best way possible.

Support and Documentation
The theme comes with an extensive help file with videos to help you understand how it works. If you encounter any problems or have questions once you purchased the theme feel free to drop us a notice at http://www.kriesi.at/support
We have 4500 registered members that often help out faster than we can. Nevertheless you will always recieve a response from me or my support team. More than 25000 Posts show that we do care that your site works fine
A short notice: The reasons I have chosen to use my own forum are quite simple:
- Themeforest support threads are not searchable. Since most questions are asked over and over again a searchable forum will greatly enhance your experience since the answer to your question might already be there.
- Second Reason: people can’t respond to each other at themeforest to help each other out, which often happens on the support forums.
