EverWeb ThemeKit
Responsive Website DesignTake your website design to the next level with this professional class theme.
ThemeKit Themes
The ThemeKit themes are unlike anything available for EverWeb. They allow EverWeb users to create web designs to rival the more expenive Mobirise and Wordpress themes without the drawbacks inherent in these platforms.
Many EverWeb users seem reluctant to update their site to responsive due to the complexity and limitations of the EverWeb Responsive Row.
ThemeKit Themes make it really easy to create a modern website design with those upmarket features that can't be realised using the EverWeb default features and widgets.
The themes contain a completed project file and all the widgets ready set up with placeholder content.
The widgets themselves use the latest advances in web design and are far superior to anything else available.
Each theme comes with a download link for 100s of SVG icons for replacing outdated PNG icons and inferior font icons like Font Awesome.
There's also a download link for the ThemeKit Phone Simulator which can be added to any EverWeb project for quickly checking how design elements look on mobile phones.
