The Brand New theme is a sophisticated offering from ThemeForest. It’s got a lot of features packed into it and many of them are highly variable where the changes that they allow to the site are concerned. This makes it suited for professionals who need something that doesn’t lock them into one design for a site. The options are tightly integrated with WordPress 3.0 features, as well, so those who are familiar with the platform shouldn’t have any trouble figuring them out, even if those users are amateur designers.

The Brand New theme allows you to use custom post types to get your pages looking the way you want. You can use portfolio posts, client testimonial posts and “our team” posts to make sure that your content goes exactly where you intended. The theme is provided with a fixed layout, so anything you add to the page won’t end up being crowded out or in an awkward position due to someone changing their browser size. The theme has configurable page templates, so you’ll always get the look you want.

There are 14 microtemplate files in this theme that allow you to get very detailed with your customizations. They also allow you to avoid having a chain reaction because of making one change to the template that results in unwanted changes to the overall pages. This theme has 6 different areas that you can add widgets to and has 7 customized widgets included with it. There are plenty of shortcodes, as well.

Search engine optimization concerns are taken into consideration with this theme, as well. You can change the pages to ensure that they get indexed properly by the search engines and to make sure that you don’t miss out on any traffic because of coding errors. All of the code that makes up this theme, in fact, is up to web authoring standards, as is the case with everything that ThemeForest puts on the market.

This theme is a great tool for pros. Amateurs who are very involved with the design of their site should find plenty to love, as well. The theme includes the original source files, so you’ll have full access to make change to any element required. You’ll also find that adding your own widgets is a snap. This theme even supports child themes, so there is very little that you can’t do with Brand New.
