Headway Themes – Drag And Drop WordPress Theme

WordPress premium frameworks and themes are powerful tools that can take your blog to the next level, but they can be difficult to implement. Those unfamiliar with code or coding terminology might have some difficulty in visualizing how the changes they make in the framework editor will render on their pages. Knowing how code affects the look of a page is a skill not all have, and not many want to learn. Headway Themes eliminates the need to learn this skill. Headway incorporates a visual editor into its framework. Using a visual editor does away with the necessity of being able to imagine what your page will look like. You can preview it in real time.

Headway Themes’ quick start wizard makes designing a WordPress site from the ground up a snap. You will find the quick start wizard within the visual editor. It is a step-by-step guide to setting up your site. If you want to add a banner and are unsure of how to coordinate the colors across your site, you simply load the banner and the quick start wizard will suggest colors and how they can best be used across your site. After that, you select your global font, and you have a working website.

Of course, the power of Headway’s visual editor does not end at the quick start feature. Headway allows you to select individual elements of your page. Once you select an element, a menu will appear that indicates which attributes of the element you can change. Some of these attributes are colors, fonts, size, line height, alignment and capitalization.

Headway Themes has also introduced what it refers to as the leaf system. This feature is called the leaf system because it treats the elements of the page as table leafs. Each leaf acts as a content box and can be placed anywhere on the page. This allows you unprecedented control over the look and layout of your site. The built-in leafs in the Headway system are:

• Content Leaf – This leaf displays posts according to your settings.
• Widget-Ready Sidebar – The leaf allows you to add as many sidebars as you please. You can even add an active footer.
• Custom Content Leaf – You can add any type of content you would like to this leaf.
• Featured Post Leaf – Do not be stuck with just one featured post. This leaf allows animated transitions between featured posts.
• RSS Leaf – This leaf can feature RSS feeds.
• Image Rotator Leaf – A constantly changing slideshow of images inhabits this leaf.
• About Leaf – There is no need to go to an about page with this leaf. This leaf contains pertinent information about you.

The power of the visual editor does not stop at leafs. You can also exercise full control over page height, number of columns, page width and any other layout settings you would like.

Having a pretty site is worth nothing if people do not see it. To that end, Headway Themes boasts the most robust SEO toolkit of any premium theme company. These SEO features are fully integrated into the Headway system. There is no need to download and install plugins to make your site SEO ready. Even if you did nothing more than install Headway, your SEO would improve.

Among all the SEO tools that Headway provides, perhaps the best is the Search Engine Result Preview feature. This feature allows you to see how your page will look when it is found using any of the leading search engines. You can then edit the search engine results right in the post or page editor. This allows you to make sure that the information searchers see is what you want them to see.

Headway Themes is a great tool for those looking to build a new site or enhance and old site. It is worth the cost just for the SEO package and visual editor.
