Framework Security Update and Newsletter Release

This weekend we have updated all themes that use the latest version of our AviaFramework (basically every theme listed on our theme overview page)

If you are using one of them, we recommend you to update your theme to the latest version since we improved security of multiple scripts.

Rapid Prototyping in WordPress: 4 Essential Steps to Win More Customers

Learn how to use WordPress to build interactive prototypes for your future clients

Enfold 3.2 – Super flexible columns, new church and wedding demos and so much more…

You ask for it, we build it ;) 

It finally arrived. One of the most requested features ever, the highly customizable columns are now available for Enfold. You can now remove the space between columns, set them to equal height, control the padding and margin (even negative margins are possible as can be seen in our church demo), background color, border color, border radius, custom classes, etc
