Free to use… really!
As with all open source software like WordPress and Wonderflux, the terms of the license mean you can pretty-much do what you want with the code, but please don’t hack it or rip it off, you would receive your good karma back tenfold if you contribute improvements, suggestions and bug reports through the SVN system on Google code or via email. WordPress is a world-class publishing system, now lets make Wonderflux a world-class design system, for free, for everyone in the WordPress community to use!
Options… when you want them
Many frameworks and themes give you page after page of complex options – Wonderflux takes a different approach. Although there is an optional set of easy to understand controls for layout options like dynamic grid control and sidebar visibility for less advanced developers – more advanced developers can completely remove these options or even dynamically filter and change layout configurations on the fly! Also, almost every internal function can be over-loaded – and you won’t believe how many filters and hooks we have for you to play with!
Wonderflux supports all the latest and greatest WordPress functionality to deliver unparalleled design opportunities for both new and experienced designers. It’s a solid, easy to update, flexible platform you can use for any WordPress website.
