iThemes Builder is the powerful framework that gives you power and control over your WordPress site—without having to mess with code, and the anxiety that sometimes accompanies manipulating code. (Of course there’s no restriction on working with code if you want to!)
If you are new to Builder, you will want to check out
the most recent Builder Basics Training.
Since we have just released the 35th child theme to accompany the iThemes Builder framework, you have a huge number of out-of-the-box options to start with, or you can always start from scratch with your own child theme.
Read about child themes #33 and #34, as well as the just released Encased-Light, #35.
If you haven‘t started working with iThemes Builder yet, watching this video is a great way to check it out and eliminate any fears you have about whether you can use it. Seriously, it’s so easy even your mom could do it. (We just say it that way because Cory’s mom uses Builder.)
This is a basic webinar to cover all the functionality of the Builder theme. It covers how to use the easy-yet-powerful layout engine, create views, what child themes are and how to use them. Plus it covers the unique Widget Content way of building your widgets, as well as the simple Style Manager plugin which is included in your Builder purchase.
If you’ve done the basics and would like to move on to more advanced training with Builder, you may want to consider the Premium Training Builder: Beyond the Basics offered via WebDesign.com.
Of course, for a thorough understanding of working with WordPress and designing sites, or developing a freelance business, you may want to check out the full membership at WebDesign.com. We frequently use Builder in the webinar demonstrations, so it’s like getting bonus Builder training, too.
