The Biggest Blog Post About Our Biggest Week Ever!

Was I overselling it a bit? Okay, well sorry, I’m just really excited about everything happening lately at Storefront Themes! This past week we finally got some monkeys off our backs in the way of 2 brand new themes that just so happen to be our coolest themes ever! And yet, neither are the biggest new addition that we’ve added recently to Storefront Themes…you may have noticed recently (if you are a current customer) that our support forums are a little quicker in response time and that is because we recently added a new member to our team, Mark Gason of http://gasolicious.com.

So…let’s go over these 3 additions in better detail…

Storefront Echo

We first teased Storefront Echo at WordCamp SLC by giving out free beta copies to everyone at our talk and after a couple of months of development, we finally released it last week. This has been my favorite theme to work on so far because of the unique functionality we put into it…It’s completely responsive! No matter what screen you’re using, (desktop, laptop, ipad, mobile phone, etc) this theme adapts and looks fantastic! I’m particularly thrilled with how the theme operates on an iphone. Even the homepage slider and carousel are responsive and the carousel is even touch-enabled so you can swipe through the products using your finger!

Storefront Gridport

Gridport is another gorgeous design by George Ortiz (Designer, Instant, Edge) and once again, the visual aesthetics are very evident in his work. The homepage and products page grids are very minimal and show the product title and price when hovered over. Also, the grid has a nice animation when changing your browser width to snap each item into place. The blog has a unique way of laying out posts and a subtle little shopping cart icon triggers the cart to pop out onto the screen whenever it is clicked or when a product is added to the cart.

Mark Gason

Mark is a professional web designer, web developer, animator and print designer. He has a wealth of experience in flash and other things, but we caught him on our forums over the summer, answering in great detail nearly everyone’s questions there. We started talking with him and realized that we just had to have him with us so we hired him in October. Mark will be available on the forums for a few hours each day from Monday to Friday and will cover the bulk of all support requests.

So that’s it in a nutshell…er..a blog post. What’s next? Expect another blog post this week, but it will focus on some things behind the scenes. Till then, keep making some great shops!

   hi there, i was wondering

   Is it possible to show mark-downs and sale prices?

   so in effect, showing the original price and the sale price.

   can the products be listed by gender?

   Any info would be much appreciated
