    Hi Mick,

    Congratulations. Its is a nice theme and you named it appropriately. I noticed that it is not installed on the latest version of WordPress. Have you tested it on the newest version of WordPress?

    Also, there are a lot of tags/links to content that is not part of the theme. Is there a reason for that?

    Jeffery 100% :-)

    P.S. The link you provided is formatted wrong, so you might want to fix it.

      Thanks Jeffery, would probably help if I made a coffee before jumping straight on the computer and working right?? haha

      Actually, the latest version of Wordpress came out RIGHT after I had this one finished! So, no I've not yet tested it.

      As for the additional content I figured I may as well use the theme as a complete example (helping my other projects) rather than letting it sit there with garbage content on it

    Hi Mick,

    In my business coffee makes a world of difference, lol. What framework are you using? Are you using a child theme? WordPress (WP) 4.0 changed a lot of things and many theme developers had to change the file: functions.php to be compatible with WP 4.x. Your theme developer should be consulted about it, so if it needs changed the developer can send you the file.

    Also, I noticed that you have only one page template: Full Width. More page templates would be a good idea such as a landing page, squeeze page, rss page, etc. It depends on your objective and goal really, but it is best to have them now in case you need them in the future.

    Does the theme have a featured area? The layout is very important and a featured area is something I code into all of my themes for my clients. The great thing about it is the client can use it on all or just some pages and posts. Gives you a lot of flexibility.

      Haha, It's definitely not the latest version, off the top of my head I'm not so sure... All of a sudden feel a little out of my depth now thanks haha

      I just got what I could with the budget I allotted for the theme, additional pages would have been cool, ideally though, it's just a basis for people who want a free theme to have something basic to start with where they can add their own pzazz, if you get me?

      Still getting there on the flexibility I guess

    hmm, first of all it's responsive which is a plus. I would change those gray colors, it looks kinda boring for me but anybody can change that in style.css so no problems there.
    But where are the meta infos in posts? I mean if somebody would like just remove them, but if i want them i have to implement them myself? I don't like that.
    Also for this kind of simplicity wouldn't hurt some breadcrumbs on posts.

    But anyway cool design ! Cheers
