WordPress has evolved to the point where it can handle practically any type of project. So instead of trying to create a traditional WordPress Theme Framework that stuffs all the functionality into one package, we decided it was time free you from this, and build an Theming Engine that allows rapid and modular WordPress Theme Development.
A traditional framework might come with a great option panel packed full of features, and additional code for popular 3rd party plugins, but ask yourself some questions:
- How many of these theme options are required for your client?
- How much additional code is being loaded that just sits there doing nothing?
- How much time do you need to spend learning the inner workings of the template structure, folder organization and coding practices?
- How much time should you spend forking frameworks to fit your specific needs?
Infinity is different.
Every single aspect of Infinity is modular and we spent a huge amount of time making it extremely easy to use, even if you’re just starting to get your hands dirty with WordPress theme development. As soon as you add Infinity to your theme you can stop worrying about a lot of things, and spend
more time creating awesome designs. By streamlining common tasks and bringing them together, you can develop themes using WordPress best practices, without writing complex PHP.
So far it all sounds like fancy talk: let’s break it down for you.
