Why I Use the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis for WordPress is the killer app for small business owners and entrepreneurs looking to quickly and easily manage a web business. It is that simple.
I have used dozens of other themes in projects for clients and myself. I know there’s tons of info out there on how to customize themes, how to do make a certain plug-in work, etc. If all of that is gibberish to you, you’ll like Thesis. I could say you’d love it, but that’s a bit much when you haven’t even seen it yet. My site is not the most visually impressive, but at the Thesis site, you can click through a bunch of high profile, beautifully designed sites. All done with Thesis. I have some tutorials going up on YouTube. Drop me an email or just search for Q4 Sales on YouTube and you’ll find my screencasts explaining some of the things you might also want to do — like change the footer, or remove the zero comments box.
I actively sell Thesis (that’s why the ad is there and the links to their site) but I use it constantly. Every single day, to help run this project and my company. I have recommended it for clients and helped them manage their changes to it. It is not marketing-speak for me to say I love Thesis. Without it, I can’t get my publishing done nearly as fast or easy. I run five blogs on Thesis for WordPress.
Here’s a screenshot of my dashboard. You can see all the traditional WordPress stuff on the upper part of the Left Nav Column. This shot is showing you that I’ve selected Thesis Options dashboard that gives me the ability to change and improve so many of the things you’re used to doing in other programs.
Again, this is only a small piece of what Thesis provides. Like anything, it can take a few hours to get used to, but once you do, you’ll find you can make your blog and site do things you once had to pay a developer to do for you. I’m working on a few video tutorials, from my beginner layman’s perspective, so please let me know if you’d like to see those when they are completed.
