Ich wollte ein einfaches Theme und genau das habe ich hier gefunden.
I have very much liked the clean look and feel of the Founder templates for my art portfolio website. I have been pleased to find many important accessibility features, too.
However there were still text colors that were not WCAG compliant that I had to customize. The fact that captions on images are centered aligned by default makes them harder to read for people with low vision who need magnification to see web content. It’s hard to have to scroll left to right to find the beginning of the 2nd line. I was able to customize that to my liking using the custom CSS feature in the tools, so that’s been solved.
I was disappointed that there is no way to edit the footer to be able to include a copyright blurb. I didn’t want to have to go into each of my 53 pages to add this. Turns out for $49 I could install the FounderPro plugin to upgrade, which included this feature. Much happier now.
I am new to WordPress so didn’t know if there is something I need to learn how to do, but this seems like a pretty basic thing to be able to do. Should have been part of a basic package, but I can appreciate the reason why it wasn’t.
More to determine: I made the pages live, a quiet launch, in order to be able to test it on a PC and other devices without a login. It’s a new domain, so I wasn’t concerned about people finding it yet. I still need to test high contrast mode to see if the social icons display, which has been a common issue with this type of feature, but maybe newer browsers support, not sure.
Founder is easy to use and customize, but a professional theme. Highly recommended.
We’ve been using Founder theme for about 6 or 7 years in our site. Some years with Pro version… It works perfectly for us. Faced some tiny little problems with plug-ins but they solved by the team’s immediate help. Thank to developers.
Fand das Theme toll, vor allem da es inklusiver ist. Habe allerdings herausgefunden, dass ich 50 Euro hinblättern muss, nur damit ich beispielsweise die Schrift auf schwarz ändern kann oder die Kommentare entfernen. Das wären auch die einzigen Änderungen gewesen, die ich vorgenommen hätte. Und das alles nur für ein Jahr. Sowas ist einfach unbrauchbar und viel zu teuer.
