Brand new to their portfolio, WooThemes‘ latest edition to their growing theme family is Optimize, a premium Wordpress theme packed with super hot new features, and entirely new WooFramework and 22 color styles to boot!
Don’t let the home page of the layout deceive you into thinking it’s just another image rotator. This featured content presenter is dynamic in that it applies the smooth appeal of PrettyPhoto that allows a super modern lightbox effect that works for images AND video. Just browsing the demo, the coolness of this is quite evident.
Just below the featured content area is the “life-streaming” bar that allows your most recent Tweet to be displayed. This is growing more popular and certainly a neat add-on feature.
Below the Twitter box is a place to showcase your site’s content through “mini-features”. Included in the navigation is a separate blog, which allows you to use this premium Wordpress theme to utilize Wordpress as a CMS. The demo site uses it to showcase a portfolio, but you can use it to showcase your company’s work, regardless of what you work on.
Another thing that I really like about this theme is the smooth drop down functionality of the top navigation. The look is clean and complete, unlike other premium themes that have a chopping drop down look. These drop downs have styled backgrounds and fade in and out smoothly with no flash.
Feature List
- A custom home page featured area to showcase your work or products, with optional sub-featured area to give them more insight.
- Custom home page layout with optional Twitter box, Mini-features area, Info/Quotes box and option to insert any page above/below mini-features area.
- Sexy jQuery effects and PrettyPhoto (lightbox) integrated in theme.
- An optional integrated portfolio section to show off your work/products.
- Custom Woo Widgets for use in the sidebar and in the widgetized footer: Search widget, Ad space widget, Flickr widget.
- 22 stylish alternate colour schemes to choose from plus custom color picker so you can set your own background color and link color.
- Last but not least, the brand new WooFramework2 with updated options panel
