Ask HN: Do you really use all those WP theme options? I don't think so
There are quite a few days now, since I started to think about creating a WP theme framework backend. Working with wordpress for some time, I studied a lot of themes from "wp theme clubs" and their backend. All settings sections are organised in vertical tabs, nothing more. Same thing again and again and again. I think 90% of the buyers (customers) will never use those options. Am I right or this is just in my mind ?
Should I create a theme backend using the same old/booooooring style or better try to think outside of the box and create some new, intuitive and innovative ?
Thanks.
- rachelbaker 14y agoI would he interested in seeing the user feedback on this question. I have always believed the answer to be 'No' but I am not the target market. I am a developer that believes the entire point of a CMS is to provide a backend to add/update/edit content - not make design or layout decisions. Never give users a rope, they will hang themselves.
