Gravity Form Integration With All Organic Themes

Organic Themes has fully integrated Gravity Forms styling within all of our WordPress themes. What does that mean? Well, if you purchase the totally awesome form management plugin from those great folks at Gravity Forms, any form created with the plugin will seamlessly match the style of your Organic Theme.

If you have ever dealt with setting up and styling any type of form, whether it’s a simple contact form or an elaborate file submission form, you know the difficulty and time involved. If the idea of setting up a form seems daunting, Gravity Forms will soothe those concerns.

Organic Growth

While there is no such thing as an overnight success in the WordPress theme arena, we’re proud to say Organic Themes has come relatively close! It didn’t come without a ton of work and preparation. We invested more than a year of design, development and planning in to Organic Themes before opening the doors. We had high hopes, but only expected a small trickle of traffic within our first few months of opening. Nothing could have prepared us for the amount of traffic and positive responses we have received within our first month.

For a couple guys in Hawaii — we are extremely stoked! Organic Themes has exceeded our expectations.

As a result of this rapid growth we have realized the contact forms are not an ideal means of support. Which is why we are very excited to announce our new state-of-the-art support community! The forum should prove very helpful to our customers and theme developers. It will also give us more time to focus on the sweet stuff — new themes and updates. Access to the forum will be available for all who have purchased an Organic Theme. Register with the forum to receive access.

The Block Theme Preview

Organic Themes is excited to announce a new theme concept — the Block Theme! The theme is currently in the final design stages before moving to development. We are planning to release the theme next month and wanted to introduce a few teaser images in the meantime. It will be a tight, block style design with clean and modern aesthetics. The theme features a unique 3 column layout with featured articles of the desired category displayed in both the left sidebar and main content column. It will also feature a unique and stylish featured content slider that will be controlled within the Organic Theme options. The Block Theme will be created for the design conscious crowd, and appeal to wide variety of businesses within that demographic.

What Is The Post Thumbnail And Why Is It Awesome?

With the release of WordPress 2.9, the Post Thumbnail function was implemented in to the platform. It automatically re-sizes images for perfect placement within a site. In the past, this effect could be achieved by the use of custom fields and a script known as TimThumb. It was a decent workaround, but a cumbersome process, incompatible with some servers and a chunky bit of code that could potentially increase loading times. For people new to the WordPress platform, working with custom fields can be a confusing process. Even for the veterans it’s annoying trying to manage multiple custom field names. Post Thumbnail is the answer to all of these problems.

Organic Themes Launches

We are very excited to announce the launch of Organic Themes — a fresh new premium WordPress theme shop! In fact, excited is a huge understatement. We have been working on Organic Themes for the greater portion of 2009 and 2010. Our goal has been to create a theme shop that offers fresh new designs and resources for the WordPress community, and we’re stoked to see it come to fruition. Rather than releasing many mediocre themes within a short time, our focus is to release one spectacular new theme per month while providing updates to our existing themes with new color options, layouts and taking advantage of the constant new features from WordPress.
