I'd like to know why there is no option to start with a blank Wordpress theme?

You say there is no option but we can just delete the controls that are there - but this is why we want the option to start with a blank template.

When starting a new theme, if the first task we have to do is delete all the sections and controls, this is very frustrating and not user friendly.

So I want to suggest this as a new feature - surely this should be a standard option and should not take long to add to Themler.

What do you say?

Hi,

We believe that it is easier to start with a few existing widely used controls like header with menu and logo, footer, content area, etc.
But I've added your request to our wish list.

Thank you,
Olivia

As a web designer who designs based on what our clients want, I have to disagree with you.

Having the option to start with a totally blank template would be so valuable to users like me.

It would save me time and allow me to start off with a cleaner code base - this is what matters to users of Themler.

Anyway, thanks for adding it to the wish list and I hope to see it added very soon. This is a must.

Will check back in a few days.

I would also like to know why you cannot make an option for a completely blank template.

As a developer that is accustomed to code everything by hand, i like your product a lot. It could be a huge time-saver when working on prototypes, and later turning the prototype into a live page. Themler's response has been that it is "easier" to start with certain elements pre-loaded. While that may be true for someone new to development, for many developers the lack of a truly blank canvas can be creative hindrance.

Hi,

The Themler start theme is almost a blank theme. I'm not sure how we could possibly create the complete blank theme with no elements, no styles.

Sincerely,
Hella

I just wondered why do you need blank Wordpress theme. don't you realize that you may save time if you have some available features with instant theme?
