PSD to Thesis

In case you were wondering, Thesis is a WordPress theme framework developed by Chris Pearson. It is widely regarded as the most search engine friendly, customizable theme framework available for WordPress, and as someone who has tried them all, I’ll vouch for that.

Why you should use Thesis

• Thesis is more intelligently built than any other theme available.
• Thesis is the theme Google uses – sort of (don’t believe me? Check out Matt Cutts’ blog)
• Thesis has a massive community helping fellow Thesis owners to do the most astounding things with their themes.
• It costs $87 but offers thousands of Dollars in value.
• Because I said so.

But all Thesis sites look the same

Umm, often that’s a fair assumption. Because Thesis looks so good out-of-the-box, and because customizing it beyond the basics has a really steep learning curve, many people leave it as is. But you don’t have to. This site, and countless others, run Thesis. You wouldn’t even notice at first glance.

Thesis is a framework. It exists to be bent, moulded and tweaked in any number of ways that are limited only to the imagination of the designer and the coding skills of the developer. Seriously, it’s that good.
