We thought it would be fun to create a few demos based on a common theme, so with this update we are introducing a very bold Gym demo, a friendly Health Coach demo and a one page Mobile (Fitness) App Demo.

As always we have tried to bring something unique to each of those demos. The cool thing is, that at this point, there is often not much needed in terms of additional features… just some imagination.

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. We are not aware of any sites that got compromised or even attacked by using those scripts, and its also rather unlikely that this will happen, due to the requirements necessary to do so. Updating is nevertheless the smart thing to do – as they say: better be safe than sorry ;)
