Past few days, templatic team has been busy improving the existing themes and it’s been a while since we released our last theme. However, while our kidz store theme is coming later this week, we worked on yet another product theme which caters to different market. Our next theme is called iPhone App theme that will help you create out of the box, strategically built website in wordpress. You guessed it right. This theme will help iPhone application developers to create an affordable, professional website for their app in minutes. The templatic team brainstormed various structures and finalized the one that will help iPhone developers to create quick site for almost any kind of iPhone app. If you look carefully, the site structure is built in such a way that will emphasize every necessary element at the right place and grab right amount of attention.

We need your suggestions

Click on the following image to see full size preview of the theme for iPhone applicatin website in development at templatic studios. While we have taken care to include every necessary elements and place them at the right way, we’d like to ask your suggestions, feedbacks and critics on the design and the overall theme. Your quick suggestion will help us include something useful that you can use on your iPhone application website. Kindly use the comment form below and let us know your suggestions.

Suggest and Win: We’d also love to send an absolutely free copy of the theme when it’s released to the person who gives the best suggestion.

If you wonder why we have been quiet since last few days, it’s because we’ve been working on improving some of our recent themes. Our recently released Classifieds, Store and eShop themes are now having auto install functionality. You simply click activate and the theme automatically populate dummy data (posts, categories, images, widget and so on) as shown on our live demo. This will dramatically reduce the efforts it takes to install and use the theme. The dummy data helps you understand how the setup is done, how it works and all you need to do is simply edit them as per your requirement. Once you get comfortable adding the posts with additional fields and other setup, you may delete the posts added by us with a single click (shown preview in the following screenshot). Oh by the way, don’t worry if you already have existing data on your site. On your themes page (where you activate the theme) we also do provide a option to remove data populated by clicking the “detele please” link. So this means that you can now get started with your site in just couple of minutes. Awesome, isn’t it?

If you are an existing member, download the latest version of these themes from the member area. We are also working on implementing auto-install feature in rest of our themes and a new version will be available soon.

The original classifieds theme was designed in early 2008, right after we created our first big wordpress theme project – WP Remix. However, the original design was planned only for free classified listing and  somehow, the project was postponed again and again. However, right after we created our wordpress e-commerce platform, the Classifieds theme was re-structured to get benefit of latest wordpress version plus, much advanced functionality that we have explained on the Classifieds theme detail page. Yes, the much awaited Classifieds wordpress premium theme is released now that helps website owner make money for listing classifieds on the site.

Till date, the best way to build an e-commerce website in wordpress was to download / buy a plugin and fit it into a theme you were already using at your site. While those plugins provided the e-commerce features, it was not built specifically for the theme YOU are using, thus compromising design quality and usability. The free plugins charged you to get basic features such as “show products in grid-view”. Not anymore. In our site re-brand post we declared that we were working on an e-commerce platform and introduced various features of e-commerce platform built specifically for the wordpress users. The wait is over. Here’s Store – our first theme in the e-commerce series. An elegant store theme for small business with powerful features at the backend. You won’t need to install any plugins. This theme have everything built-in. Ofcourse you can add as many products you want. But most of the stores does have limited products to offer. This theme is designed for those small business who have more than 1 and less than 1000 products. Also we have more themes coming on this e-commerce platform for different kind of businesses. We’re not going to say much. Rather, you might wish to test-drive this product, or view screen shot tour of the backed features. We’ve provided it all, in detail at our official Store theme sales page. Headover to the Store theme sales page to get impressed and buy the theme. Did we miss something important / stuff something that’s not required? we’d be glad to hear your feedbacks & critiques via comment form in this page.
