The Theme Used On This Site

The WordPress Theme used on this website is based on a concept in Wordpress themes released a while back by top WordPress theme developer, Justin Tadlock. Justin calls it the…

Hybrid WordPress Theme Framework

It’s just so much more than a standard Wordpress them that you currently see on the Web and it has taken Justin “4 arduous months” to get it designed, wired and released.

Basically it’s a Wordpress framework within which other more specialised “child” themes with extra or different style and functionality can be easily added, without creating a whole new theme each time.

This is an awesome concept and provides for a very powerful and flexible solution for building outstanding looking websites and blogs.

As Justin explains it is “Something you can use to build anything from the smallest family blog to a powerful site that handles thousands of visitors a day”.

So, as I have long been impressed with Justin’s work, I have adopted the Hybrid Framework concept for this site and installed the Old School Child Theme over the top of it.

The design of this particular Old School child theme was done by Justin’s friend Tung Do, and a great design job he has done too!

Many more child themes will be released and because of this you may see that the look and feel of this site change in tune with each new Wordpress child theme that Justin releases. Should be fun!

I may even set the site up so you can choose your favorite Hybrid theme to be displayed.

Join The Hybrid Theme Club

If you want to get the Hybrid Wordpress Theme Framework for yourself then you will have to join Justin’s Hybrid Theme Club, but don’t worry as it also Free! This will give you access to all the Hybrid Frame Work for free as well as all the child themes and also get access to a ton of other excellent free Wordpress themes.

Justin’s whole attitude is to make everything he creates a free download, but so that he can at least make some money out the work he does, he charges a measly $25 per year for Exclusive Membership, which will provide you with extra access to to things that normal members do not get such as the high-quality tutorials he provides and the ability to post questions on the support forums.

Recently you could get a $15 theme club discount , but you will have to check at Justin’s website to see if this is available. Either way it’s a no-brainer when you consider the value you are getting.

Elsewhere themes like these are going to cost you up to $100 a shot!

Benefits of the Hybrid Wordpress Theme Framework:

As you can see there are many advantages to this theme framework , but for me and it should be the same for you, is the fact it has been designed with SEO at the fore front. On-site Search Engine Optimization is very important for good rankings and getting traffic and this framework does not require extra SEO plugins to do this.

Note: This “Free Worpdress Training” site is in no way affiliated, connected with or sponsored by Justin’s ThemeHybrid website. I just like his attitude to free stuff and love the work that he does and if you are at all interested in Wordpress then I think you would be crazy not to be involved in what he is providing. Just my opinion!
