Thesis ? Pros and Cons please ?

[mtnjkwe]

Hi Guys,

In developing my new project, I have searched for the right theme to use, and so far I havent seeing anything great yet.
So I have being hearing about this Thesis thing, for those of you who dont know what thesis is here is their page.

So my question is: Will you recommend thesis? and why ?

I would never recommend thesis. It's a pain to customize. You should definitely check out headway (Headway Premium WordPress Theme). I find it more intuitive and even a complete newbie can get a custom design done, so devs can really pull off some cool stuff once they get around the learning curve.

I know even Konami used it for a silent hill website recently.

Not really. I don't know what you mean by "convince me more." That's pretty much my complete opinion. Thesis bad. Headway good. They're the exact same price.

You can read my landing page about it here: What is Headway? | Headway Hub

@martin,
Are you doing your own programming or will you be hiring someone?

[mtnjkwe]

@bond hiring someone. I'm basically looking for the most cost effective one ( I know theyre the same price)

@Martin,
I think you will find more people know who Thesis, in my opinion.

You also have the best headway user right here.

You should check out headway though, honestly. You might eliminate the need for hiring someone altogether. Although I admit it's really, really easy to make a really, really ugly website.

@bond so that means I will easily find someone who can tweak thesis compared to finding the same for headway. BTW did you receive my PM ?

@corey Can I please see anything youve done with headway ?

@martin,
Yes, in my opinion knowing Thesis is more of a benefit for developers so you'll find there's a good supply of them so how much you pay them will be lower. I got your PM, I"ll respond to it today, sorry.
