Cherry on Top: Cherry Framework Review Posted: 21 Apr 2014 06:00 AM PDT WordPress theme frameworks are overwhelmingly available and famous nowadays because most designers find them easy to use, functional yet fully customizable. Using child themes that are supported by the parent framework, 'personalized' themes have become more attainable. There is a new framework in town- the Cherry Framework. This article is basically a Cherry Framework review. Now, most theme frameworks come in premium versions, meaning, you have to pay some bucks just to get your WordPress site personalized. However, the spending doesn't end there. After buying your framework, you would still be troubled by the child themes that you are going to install. Most of these child themes are not free. TemplateMonster unleashed a new product called Cherry Framework, a theme framework that would suit all your personalization needs. Th best part of this particular framework is it is free, along with some child themes! Features One of the awesome things about Cherry is that it boasts A-1 features: Automatic updates Great framework-to-child theme relationship Data management that allows you to backup and restore your framework and its children themes Bootstrap-based It's freakin' free Options You Need To Know After installation, the framework options are available to customize through the 'Cherry Options' link that is now present in your dashboard sidebar. This menu will further be divided into sub-menus. For example, in one sub-menu you can see in the image above, you can easily change the background color, link colors and appearances, fonts. You can also key-in your custom CSS. Aside from that, navigation elements, effects and sliders can also be edited in this menu, thus, making your site a little bit more personalized. Data Management Sometimes, as you tinker with the theme, you can't avoid those circumstances where you delete some lines and screw up the whole layout. And just in case you did that, this sub-menu is here to save the day. Using this option, you will be able to create backups and restore them in the future. SEO What makes Cherry Framework great is that it includes some basic SEO options in a separate submenu. This submenu will relate to the indexing of the files and plugins. You can also change the settings on the sitemap XML and learn how to generate it. Review Ease of Use?

I highly recommend this one for website owners who want to be hands-on with everything that is going on with their website but is too occupied or has less budget to hire a designer. You have everything you need in your plate. You just need to chew them. Conclusion With the rise of premium theme frameworks out there, it can be difficult to choose which is the best.
