Hi guys,
I really need your help.
I need to update our rather out-dated styled (and incomplete) work website to a new great looking responsive website.
I'm really struggling to decide which Studio Theme would suit best. I really am having a hard time making a decision.I'd really appreciate if someone could take the time to look at our current website http://www.mcdowallengineering.com.au , and make a good assessment and suggestion on which theme would suit best. (The Header with the blue background at the top of our website, is on all our stationary).
I kind of had a liking to the (in)SPYR Theme or the Generate Theme but I'm really open to suggestions.
Our website is rather static where it doesn't require "Recent Posts" nor "Email Newsletter", etc.
Social Media links will be required, but I believe they are fairly standard on most Themes now.
Possibly with the addition where customers can make purchases online (something we don't currently have implemented).
Also, do most of these themes allow for lots of modifications/tweaking/changes, or are they mainly WYSIWYG ?
Many thanks in advance.
April 3, 2014 at 12:02 am #98239AnitaKeymasterBased on what you have now, pretty much any one will work. Do you want it to be a responsive theme or a non-responsive theme. Most any of these will adapt to eCommerce such as Woocommerce or some other shopping cart system. I use several plugins that will grab up your HTML content from your existing website so you can easily import it. You wouldn't have to recreate the wheel or do copy/paste of content. And yes, there is the WYSIWYG capability in there.

Yes, I definitely want a responsive theme. Glad to hear most will adapt to eCommerce.
The plugins that grab up my HTML content sound very interesting and I guess is a great way to get the majority of it imported to really "get started". Not having to recreate the wheel from scratch sounds great. Is this something I can do, or are you suggesting that you can it do for me, as a service or favour ?I believe I need the theme to have the flexibility of being able to have various changes made to it. This is something that I want to do myself. I don't want our new website to look only like the new theme. Evolving website changes. Move this here, change this, add that, etc. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't want a tightly bound WYSIWYG theme.
PS. Cute dog you got. Is it a Bishon Frise ?

If you really want to customize your new theme with little help and to put your own mark on it, I would suggest using the either the Dynamik Website Builder or Design Palette Pro. Both of these should provide you with enough tools to design your new website so that it doesn't resemble the child theme out the box.

Thanks heaps anitac for your suggestions and links. I will definitely look into them. Very helpful indeed.
PS. I too have a Boodle (Bichon cross Poodle). Great dog.
