Who has the best theme options framework?
-
First off I realize “best” is entirely subjective, so let me qualify what I’m asking…
Most theme vendors (respectable ones) provide some level of shortcodes and “theme options” within their particular framework. Of all the themes I’ve worked with, I’ve found MySiteMyWay offers the MOST flexibility and functionality within the theme options.
But recently I’ve encountered hosting issues that have blocked some of the MSMW theme functions due to “bad coding practices.” I’m not saying anything bad about MSMW themes or their coding – I’m simply asking if anyone know of any other theme providers that offer as much (or more) power and flexibility as MSMW does with their theme options.
For comparison, I also use Elegant Themes and I’d personally say ET offers about 50% of the total backend flexibility and functionality that MSMW offers. Again, that’s not a slam against ET, just a personal observation having used both companies. On the other hand, ET offers a new theme almost monthly and MSMW hasn’t release a new theme in a year.
I’m looking for a new theme house that: (1) has a solid base of high quality themes that are kept up to date; (2) provides powerful, flexible, intuitive backend options; and (3) uses proven coding best practices that wont get blocked by some of the more picky hosting companies (such as Dreamhost and Bluhost.)
Any recommendations?
