Extended Theme Description:

The Essence WordPress Theme Series allows anyone with the need to create an attractive, traditional website with a static homepage to do so.  Each of the themes, whether a part of the single or multiple-use package, has been created and styled to suit the needs of anyone looking for an attractive and well laid out website.

Not only does the theme address the style issues that many people look for in a theme, but it also includes numerous features, starting with different inside page layouts and multiple color options.

Beginning with the main page, you’ll find that there is a horizontal navigation bar (drop-down) that allows you to place relevant links to inside pages here.  The header image can be either textual or using an image, and to the right of the logo you can place contact information including a phone number and/or e-mail address. Below this area is a rather defined area, with a “3-D” shadow, for placing an image and a few short introductory statements before readers travel deeper into your site.

Below this welcome message is a split three column “footer” for placing featured content, and links to your latest blog posts.

All in all, each theme package contains features that most people are looking for, so the theme is ideal for people that want to set up a basic website with a blog – such as church websites or small businesses.

Support: Like all the other themes from iThemes, support can either be attained by watching one of their quality videos or directly emailing them.

• Options page for customizing and implementing different codes without using the raw code editor.
• Featured image script to easily add your images to the theme.
• Theme is compatible with the most recent version of WordPress.
• Dozens of different page combinations, with seven inside page layouts and six different color options for attaining the look you want.
