What is your is favorite Wordpress framework?

[arossi]

I am currently using Ultimatum 2.5 Theme Builder. It more of a drag and drop WP site builder with custom CSS capabilities. It comes with many great addons like Visual Composer, BBPress, a bunch of slider programs and it is WooCommerce compatable. You have a complete blank slate to start with but there is, like anything else, a bit of a learning curve. So far I really enjoy its functionality and ease of use. My biggest gripe is the support, questions can sometimes take too long to get answered.

I am using several, and they all are different. I haven't had much issues, but my better half has been a Webmaster for a few years, and we work together to accomplish what needs to be done. He's more knowledgeable about the plugins and add-ons, then I am.

My favorite ones are:

Ground Floor Theme
Bizzcard Theme
led24.de
Bitlumen
I have a couple forum ones too

The Ground Floor theme we have to go in through the database and make corrections to the widget if it needs it, because if we try to make any changes through WP, it blows up...lol Not sure what's going on there, but we usually don't have much to do with the widget.

Hi NaturalWriter

I am speaking more along the lines of frameworks like Headway, Thesis, Genesis etc. I like to build my own for clients (who want customized sites) but, I appreciate the input. I am always looking out for nice themes too. :thumb:

Theme Builders like Ultimatum 2.5 for WordPress is creating sites with no coding knowledge only by drag and drop but which is advantages between using a themes builders with creating wordpress themes from scratch. In my point of view, make my own theme, I can easy to custom some parts I want to edit.
so according to you, which is benefits if we use theme builder to make wp theme quickly?

The benefit of using a theme builder to make a WP theme quickly? that's easy TIME=MONEY

Ultimatum still allows you to customize if you know how to code. I can offer a client a customized WP website in less time and charge for the upgrade.

Do you have any experience with any frameworks like Headway or Thesis?

I'm talking about Headway or Thesis, what is it? and what do they use for?

 

[arossi]

I am referring to "but in cases I want some parts that theme builder without them so how will I solve that?". could you elaborate.

Headway and Thesis are "building blocks" to make your own WP themes.
