STRIKING IS COMPATIBLE WITH WORDPRESS WP3 .3!!
SINCE INTRODUCTION OCT 2010 – 29 UPDATES OF NEW FEATURES !!
SEE THE SHOWCASE PAGE IN THE DEMO FOR SOME EXAMPLES OF SITES CREATED BY USERS .
Striking is an extremely powerful and flexible wordpress theme – actually a “Super Premium” theme as it has extraordinary features and coding that are not found in the normal premium WP theme. It is the theme you buy when you want to create a website in every way you imagined possible. In fact 5000+ Themeforest purchasers tell me it is the most feature laden and customizable theme they have ever used. The top seller on Themeforest in 2010/2011 period, I invite you to view the demo, and features below, to see for yourself why it is the best solution to your web design needs.
The superb flexibility of its framework allows it to be tailored to a Blog, Portfolio, Creative, Business or almost any other kind of website one can imagine. You will not find a more comprehensive admin interface – easy enough for a beginner to grasp immediately (and includes both online and written help documentation) but with every design element of Striking fully controllable so that if you are an experienced designer you can manipulate the design in any manner you see fit – Striking includes a child theme layout for the wp professionals.
Fonts, colors, backgrounds, widgets, images, videos, sliders, menus. blogs, portolios, logos and anything else is completely adjustable with the admin. And shortcodes! There are so many shortcodes I have lost count, and they are widget friendly. Furthermore, the Striking admin includes a custom CSS integrator so you don’t need to play around with CSS files – no hardcoding necessary unless you want it that way, and easy CSS style tweaks as a result.
Thanks and Enjoy

Striking Purchaser Testimonials
“The Striking theme is frequently updated and with each release becomes easier to use and easier to configure and customize. I’m regularly looking at other WordPress themes and I have yet to work with a solution that offers me more tools to create the look and feel I want. Timely and responsive support and a strong community of users make Striking the closest thing to being bulletproof solution.”
- M. Ferguson
“Great, clean, well designed theme. It’s so easy to change just about anything from the admin panel.
With the new possibility to change the slider height it’s probably the most versatile theme I’ve bought on Themeforest so far.
If it were possible I’d give you 5 stars for support as well!
Good Job. ”
- Alley_Cat
“I have purchased this theme and it is one of the best I have seen, nice and clean with amazing admin back-end options.”
- almeria
“I have purchased 46 themes on Themeforest and so am really able to compare Striking with other themes. Yours is the best for a number of reasons, foremost being the support/updates, then the flexibility of the theme, and then your personality!”
- thejapanobserver
“Just bought, nice job! Been looking for a great customizable theme that I don’t have to spend tons of time with… 5 star!”
- audaciousdesign
“I must say your customer support has far exceeded my expectation thus far! Very impressed with your prompt service and super theme, as well as your ability to make changes quickly to improve an already awesome theme.
I was most attracted to the clean Valid code and modern stying, along with the shortcodes and cufon font replacement. There are too many boring themes out there doing the same old thing. Yours truly shines!
I am working on a project for a client who just loves this theme.”
- fredromano
“This is hands down the best theme I have ever worked with for WordPress and the support is first-rate. Thanks for the phenomenal work. I am really enjoying the flexibility offered by your very well-considered admin interface. It goes much deeper thanks to the very granular control options for colors, fonts, and much more. I can’t say enough what a pleasure it is to use this theme after some less pleasant experiences recently. Your admin framework is nothing short of amazing and my site looks beautiful!”
- repeater75
“Thanks for providing amazing support on questions, and for unparalled support and dedication to constantly updating your theme since launch!!
To any prospective buyers – we review Themeforest daily – and there is no other theme on this site which has had as much put into it by the author. He makes frequent updates incorporating features suggested by users, and instead of introducing another theme every so often, builds the features into this one – saving you time and money.
This theme has an incredible number of custom widgets and widget areas, as many or more then we have seen in any other WP theme. Some widgets can even be placed into page content, they are not restricted to sidebars, headers and footers. Every color, every area is customizable, and if you need something unique – pop a question in the dedicated support forum and you willl get an answer. Furthermore, the shortcoded description is modest, there are well in excess of a hundred shortcodes by our count, and if you counted columns as shortcodes (which some authors do) it gets even higher.
If it’s a highly customizable wordpress theme you need, or your first go around with WordPress – this has to be your first choice.”
- Websys
Theme Support
You will be amazed by the Striking theme support! I have a dedicated support forum and not only do I answer questions, but the very large Striking community is extremely active in helping each other. The support forum has hundreds of custom code snippets posted, and solutions for almost any situation you are likely to encounter. Its the perfect place for a newbie to get their feet wet on customizing, and experts to find unusual solutions for that tweak they want.
Please register on the support forum using your Themeforest name so your purchase is validated. The support forum is the best place to post questions – the themeforest comment thread is not searchable so I prefer you join the Striking support forum instead for answers and participation.
