I used to use Thesis for building sites, but have mostly switched over to SmallBiz now. They both have a different focus; Thesis is a general blogging theme, where as SmallBiz is designed for small business websites and has a lot of features ready to go for those types of sites. We built it "to spec" based on creating a lot of websites for small business owners. Let me know if you have any other questions! Hi Jack,

I did a search on WP-Touch and discovered this string. I have already purchased Thesis and WP-Touch. Having just loaded SmallBizTheme and beginning to play with it some I'm wondering how well all these themes play together. Does one complement the other or are they all separate and for a particular website (WP site) are do they work independently based on your or a clients needs? As you can tell, I'm learning, but am hungry for more. Thanks, ~Jack Hi Guys, I’m new to E2W, just having purchased the theme and looking more deeply into this forum.

You don't have to get into the code or be a great designer to do things with Thesis. One of the strengths of the theme is the custom options panel - you can change a lot of things right from there. And if you want to customize your header, the nav menus, background colors, etc there are tons of examples online and in the forums. So I think Thesis is a great way to go for what you want to do. Just let me know when you get into it - I'll be glad to help. As you mentioned, there is also a great community of people out there that will help you too. In the Thesis forums and on the #thesiswp tag on Twitter too. Good luck! Hi Carlo – great questions. You don’t have to get into the code or be a great designer to do things with Thesis.

I've been searching around for free themes and am going blind trying to decide. Someone pointed out Thesis and it looks excellent. The fact that a lot of customization can be done throught the WP panel is a huge draw for me as I am pretty new with Wordpress. I am technical by nature, but new to web design. I know basic HTML and have done some programming back in school. I read your reply to Amy above, and am wondering if it's actually easier to learn Wordpress using a free theme or with Thesis? I don't really feel like mucking around with code unless I really need to, in which case it wouldn't matter if it was a free theme or Thesis, right? Besides, I really like the idea of having access to the Forums if/when I do have to dip into the code. I have two domains, neither of which are set up yet. I would like to run one as a CMS, with blog pages on it, but the other will most likely be strictly blog. This shouldn't be a problem with Thesis, should it? I guess what I'm looking for is that last push to send me over the edge into the Thesis world. Thanks! Hi, thanks for this post.

I have just bought thesis over a week ago and the options are endless for me. Making changes is so easy and anyone can make them. I like the new hook feature, once the plug-in is installed, it's easier to make changes to your custom files. I first thought that the price was high, but the features and benefits out way the price.
