Striking has expanded features sets, and much more granular control and customization ability then found in a typical regular premium theme.

Following is a sample of the plugins that one can use with Striking:

and much more…..

Please note that with some form plugins including but not limited to Gravity Forms and some event type plugins, one has to use the raw shortcode, and make some minor css amendments for correct display.

Striking includes extended integrated setup code such as custom css and ties to plugin hooks for Woo Ecommerce, WPML and Qtranslate so that selected advanced features of these plugins are functional in Striking.

Before we get into the huge feature list, we think it most important to give you a sample of the thousands of testimonials we have received from Striking users in order to give you an independent viewpoint of Striking. Striking has received almost 2000 “5 star” ratings from users, 2nd across the entire 9 Envato marketplaces. Read why our buyers are so satisfied:

“Hello Striking Creators. I just wanted to tell you, I have used a lot of the wordpress themes available on themeforest and from other private sellers and the Striking theme is by far one of the best I have used. In fact, I like to call it a framework that already looks great out of the box. I have already used Striking for my own portfolio and a client site. Striking theme is so easy to manipulate and change via the options panel or a child theme. I was really hesitant to write about Striking only because I did not want everyone to know what theme I was using because I don’t want my competitors to benefit. but since I had switched from Thematic to Striking, my SEO skyrocketed and I have been getting a lot of new business. Also, I must say, your support team is fantastic. Absolutely incredible. The highest quality help I have had from any theme developers.” - ravenousravendesign

“I have been using Striking for 6 months, and I wanted to write to say this is hands down the best theme for WordPress. There’s incredible flexibility and customization available, so it’s really not just a template. You can make the site look how YOU want it to look. The support is amazing, especially when you consider the theme only costs $50. The support forum is a great place to go to find answers to your questions, and the Striking team patrols the forum to make sure your questions are answered.” - chevalierconsulting

“The Striking theme is frequently updated and with each release becomes easier to use and easier to configure and customize. I’m regularly looking at other WordPress themes and I have yet to work with a solution that offers me more tools to create the look and feel I want. Timely and responsive support and a strong community of users make Striking the closest thing to being bulletproof solution.” - M. Ferguson

“Great, clean, well designed theme. It’s so easy to change just about anything from the admin panel.
It’s probably the most versatile theme I’ve bought on themeforest so far. If it were possible I’d give you 5 stars for support as well!
Good Job. ” - Alley_Cat

“I have purchased this theme and it is one of the best I have seen, nice and clean with amazing admin back-end options.” - almeria

“I have purchased 46 themes on themeforest and so am really able to compare Striking with other themes. Yours is the best for a number of reasons, foremost being the support/updates, then the flexibility of the theme, and then your personality!” - thejapanobserver

“This is a great theme, very good value for the money. Just launched a new client site using Striking, and they’re quite pleased!” - Joe at Integris

“I must say your customer support has far exceeded my expectation thus far! Very impressed with your prompt service and super theme, as well as your ability to make changes quickly to improve an already awesome theme.
I was most attracted to the clean valid code and modern stying, along with the shortcodes and cufon font replacement. There are too many boring themes out there doing the same old thing. Yours truly shines! I am working on a project for a client who just loves this theme.” – fredromano

“This is hands down the best theme I have ever worked with for Wordpress and the support is first-rate. Thanks for the phenomenal work. I am really enjoying the flexibility offered by your very well-considered admin interface. It goes much deeper thanks to the very granular control options for colors, fonts, and much more. I can’t say enough what a pleasure it is to use this theme after some less pleasant experiences recently. Your admin framework is nothing short of amazing and my site looks beautiful!” - repeater75

“We at Kismet Design love the Striking theme! It’s fully customizeable, feature rich, comes with child theme included, and is coded incredibly well.

The sites we build with Striking also rank high on Search Engine Optimization. This is in large part due to the html design/framework this theme has.

We are excited to keep using it with future clients…..Keep up the good work – you’re very much appreciated!” - Kismet Web Design

WITH SO WITH SO MANY WEB DESIGN EXPERTS AND INDEPENDENT USERS LOVING THIS THEME, SHOULD YOU NOT TRY IT OUT?

FAMOUS THEME SUPPORT!

A familiar comment in many testimonials is the great Striking support. The Striking Team was one of the themeforest pioneers in creating a separate dedicated support forum for usage questions and gathering of Striking users for trading customization ideas. Our support ethic is so good that it has been written up in 3rd party blog sites that discuss WP themes as a model of how to conduct support properly (Striking has itself received many positive independent reviews since its introduction in 2010).

Questions are answered daily on the Striking forum by our support team members. The support forum also has thousands of custom code snippets posted with solutions for almost any customization situation you are likely to encounter. Its the perfect place for a newbie to get their feet wet on customizing, and experts to find unusual solutions for that tweak they desire.

Please register on the support forum using your themeforest name. PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT PROVIDE support here in the Striking comments thread – that is only for prospective purchaser questions and all other questions will be redirected to the support forum found at this link:

STRIKING FEATURES

SEE THE SHOWCASE PAGE IN THE DEMO FOR SOME EXAMPLES OF SITES CREATED BY USERS.

Striking is an extremely powerful and flexible wordpress theme featuring a heavy duty framework that can scale for large sites and web requirements. It features true WP Multisite capability, is WPML preset (we are subscribing developers to WPML) for integration of the WPML plugin and features Woo-Commerce integrated presets for Woo Commerce plugin integration. 14,100+ themeforest purchasers tell us it is the most feature laden and customizable theme they have ever used. The top seller in 2010-2012 period and the #3 selling premium class WP theme of all time on themeforest, we invite you to view the demo, and features below, to see for yourself why it is the best solution to your web design needs.

Striking is used for site types ranging from photography to gaming, automotive and real estate, and many colleges and universities for their websites! This is due to the superb flexibility of its framework which allows it to be tailored to a Blog, Portfolio, Creative, or Business purpose.

Here are the most important factors which have built the Striking reputation:

Striking has valid HTML 5 and Wordpress 3.5 compatibility resulting in the best SEO optimization. Striking is also 100% compatible with the two most popular SEO plugins: WP SEO and All in One SEO.
Striking is a true 100% Wordpress Multisite capable for both path based and subdomain options.
Striking has full WP Multi-Language plugin presetup and also can be used for RTL language sites.
Striking has an larger number of admin settings, custom shortcoded widgets and sliders, page and layout templates, fonts and media support then is customary even for a premium theme, providing for maximum flexibility in the look of a site.

Fonts, colors, backgrounds, widgets, images, videos, sliders, menus. blogs, portolios, logos and anything else is completely adjustable with the admin. And shortcodes! There are so many shortcodes we have lost count, they can be embedded within each other (so you can have a shortcode within a shortcode within a shortcode….) and they are widget friendly. We gave serious thought to the blog and portfolio functions, including archiving, search, layouts, to a level of customization that is unmatched. We know it is one thing to have a blog or portfolio with 2 pages of entries, but what happens when it is 200? 2000? Striking can accommodate all of this, and catalogue it all properly.

You can find more details below. And check out the online demo for a Striking taste!
