Love the parallax scrolling in the header image! Really nice touch.
That is a really fast loading theme without a lot of frills. That would be a good theme to combine with MarketPress to take advantage of the cool way the projects are displayed. Could be used to display products instead of projects.
Would make for a fast, lightweight and responsive online store.
Hey that’s really a great idea! I’ll have to give that a try and see how it works out.
I’ve had some success using portfolio-based themes as stores. Usually they have a custom post type for the projects, I use a redirection plugin to automatically redirect the visitor to the product page and the project page is only there to populate the project archive pages.
It’s good way to take advantage of the nice features that designers are putting into portfolio-based themes. Here’s an example of one I did using that concept that takes advantage of the javascript project sorting: http://demostore2.teatra.de/products/
Oh yeah! That’s fantastic! I’ll have to write up a tutorial to show others how to do this.
Hey Pete- Do you use the Redirection plugin? Also, are you redirecting for each individual product or in a more general way, ie. /projects/ redirects to /store/products ?
Nice job Pete, congrats!
so good
