Forte -- Multipurpose WP Theme (WooCommerce Ready)

NOTE: the compatibility with Internet Explorer 8 concerns only the usability of the front-end, the contents and the main functions. Some CSS3 effects are avoided in Internet Explorer 8 (some transitions and some properties such as the rounded borders)

Theme description

Forte is a powerful, elegant and flexible WordPress e-commerce theme with an adaptive layout and many features inside. It has got a (really) powerful admin panel, and an intuitive page builder (page composer).

Forte supports WooCommerce,WP Super Cache, WPMU (Wordpress Multi-User or Wordpress Network), and WPML, only to name the most famous ones.

The possibilities of customization are almost infinite, the 2 skins available are only examples you can use as starting points:

It comes with many jQuery effects (Tabs, Accordions, Drop Down Menu, Mega menu, Tooltips, Multi-Layer slideshow, Fullscreen slideshow, Colorbox and more…), unlimited skins, unlimited possibilities, Google web fonts, many layouts, drag & drop system to compose your multi-layer slideshows, your contact forms and your price tables, a huge number of shortcodes with useful buttons in the text editor, a powerful extended administration panel, widget ready with seven widgets integrated, easy to translate with a .po file.

Requirements

Please, buy this theme only if you think that the speed of the demo site (click here) is acceptable. Forte is a powerful theme, with many features, and many customizations possible. This requires a quite good server. The demo site is hosted on a VPS with other sites together with it : 768 MB of RAM , nothing special, but it’s enough.

The performance of your site will be faster or slower depending on whether you put your custom styles inline or you create a static file (this option is available on the admin panel). Each time you save something on your Forte admin panel a static file is generated with the settings just saved, but only if the CHMOD of this file is set to 777 and if the function file_put_contents() is available on your server.
