When we first set out to build the professional version of WPtouch, we decided at the very beginning that it really needed to be a development framework instead of just a simple mobile theme. With that mindset in place, we built WPtouch Pro from the ground up and then used the development framework to construct the included set of mobile WordPress themes: Simple, CMS and Classic Redux. While these themes use many WordPress template tags, they mostly leverage the built in framework features and modules within the WPtouch Pro mobile plugin.
If you’re looking to start developing a mobile WordPress website, using WPtouch Pro will save you time, effort and money by allowing you to leverage many of the complex features included in the WPtouch Pro framework.
One Parent Theme To Rule Them All
At the heart of the WPtouch Pro mobile development framework is Foundation, the parent theme for Simple, CMS and Classic Redux. While it is entirely possible to build a mobile theme using WPtouch Pro without leveraging Foundation, basing a mobile website theme off of Foundation has many distinct advantages that greatly simplifies the development of a WPtouch Pro theme.
Included in the Foundation theme are a series of pluggable modules that child themes can leverage. These modules control the look and usability of whatever menus your theme needs (you can define more than one), sharing icons for popular social networks, advertising options for a theme, mobile-optimized featured content sliders, infinite scrolling, and even web-fonts to set your website apart from the others. Including any of these features involves the addition of a single line of code to your theme. When using Foundation developers can add complex functionality to their mobile WordPress websites in just a few minutes.
Developer Documentation
All WPtouch Pro Developer/Agency and WPtouch Pro Enterprise licenses come with development support via our Support Centre, included priority support tickets, and access to the WPtouch Pro developer documentation. The development documentation details the architecture of WPtouch Pro, the process involved with building a mobile WordPress theme, and how to utilize all the modules contained within Foundation.
