Mobile Pro is an excellent option for professional sites that want to get a mobile presence going on the Web. Almost half of Internet users today do some of their browsing on mobile devices and, because of that, it’s increasingly important to make certain that there is a mobile version of your website.

The same holds true if they happen to be holding their device horizontally. Mobile Pro also contains a contact page that can be customized to suit your needs. This ensures that your visitors can easily get in touch with you if they wish.

Despite the fact that Mobile Pro is designed for the smaller screens of mobile devices, it contains two widgetized areas that you can use to include content that is more interactive. It also supports the new WordPress navigation menus, so you can be sure that your visitors will have an easy time making their way around your site.

Exposure by WooThemes

Feb 4th, 2012

Exposure

If you told most photographers about the automatic resizing features that come with the Exposure theme, it would probably be enough to get them to pay for it right there. There are some features, however, that go far beyond this included with this theme and that make it ideal for those who run a professional portfolio site. Plenty of themes out there can be said, without any exaggeration, to offer great presentation. This theme goes a lot farther than that.

If you’re a photographer, imagine taking all the posts on your site and rearranging them as if they were widgets. This would mean that you could place each post next to the one you thought complimented it the best and simply drag them around to change their position if you thought of something better. The posts on Exposure are widgets and you can do just that with them. All of the power, flexibility and options of widgetization are lent to every single post you make on Exposure, and that’s just the beginning.

Where your actual galleries are concerned, you’ll see that flexibility is not a word that defines all the options on this theme. The thumbnails can be displayed in different sizes, made to offer different types of interaction for the user and can even be set to use some very eye-catching scrolling effects. In the end, it gives the impression that you’re not only a great photographer, but that you make enough money doing it to spend a lot on web development, even though you don’t’ have to with Exposure.

This theme offers over 20 different color schemes. It also allows you to manage the banner advertisements on your page very easily. These features are controlled from a user interface that reduces what used to be a programming task to selecting between a few different options. The theme offers all of this in a format that displays correctly in any modern browser. Where correct display is concerned, good code is required and the code that underpins this site conforms to all the standards of good web design.

While the features that are included with this theme would be impressive on their own, it’s the widgetized homepage that sets it apart from other portfolio sites. If you want site management to be fast, efficient and easy, this is a theme that merits a very close look.
