ell, there’s no other way to start this but from the very beginning. I got interested in computers at young age. I was beyond annoying so my poor parents had no choice but to buy me one – it was Commodore 64. That was the moment when my digital odyssey started. Thanks to my father who worked for National Television I had the rare opportunity to see live all the high-end equipment in action. That was the analog era, and excellent learning foundation. I was always in contact with electronics, and had a very colorful IT career that honed my skills, interests and knowledge. I started with Web and graphic design on several occasions, mostly out of curiosity, then decided to dig more seriously. Figured out I actually like it and knew instantly that’s what I wanted to do. To create the content that is both functional and visual at the same time. The content that, besides visual aspect, can help someone start their own business to make a living. This introduction leads us to the story below… THEME FEATURES OVERVIEW (VIDEO VERSION): f you’re not much of a reading type, and prefer the visual content, then skip further reading, lay back and play the video below that covers all the theme features in roughly ~20 minutes. The video might be a longer one, but demonstrates in-depth theme’s options, front-end and back-end features, design and functionality, Redux framework, and much, much more. You can actually see what is going on behind the scenes. Something that cannot be explained in plain text and words. Play the Omen WordPress theme featured video below and see it all for yourself. Thanks and enjoy! THEME FEATURES OVERVIEW (TEXT VERSION): n this post I’ll explain the process behind my custom themes development. I build themes from scratch, both HTML (e.g. Bootstrap templates) and CMS (e.g. WordPress custom themes). Regarding the HTML templates, I generally prefer Bootstrap framework, most of themes I build are Bootstrap based, and it is the framework that I got used to and that I’m familiar with. The websites “look and feel”, inspiration for design is from literally everywhere: TV commercials, newspapers, product catalogs, outside world, and of course – the internet. For example: this Bootstrap theme overall colors and typography is inspired by Canadian Raging Indifference website. Then also this one is a true remake of Stelfox Recruitment Agency from Dublin, Ireland and was done for exercise and fun of it. I expanded the original by adding my custom animations and some other hidden easter-eggs. Generally, when with no project in sight, and some free time, I roam around the internet, see something that I like and admire, and then I create, recreate and bring again to life with new look and feel. Check my Bootstrap themes: B&W, Bachus, P3 theme, P4 theme or P7 theme one. egarding the process of building a custom WordPress theme, the story goes like this: first I make a plain barebone starter theme, generally from
