Sponsoring 5 hours/week of my contribution time
I’m incredibly grateful to Themeisle for sponsoring my contribution time to the WordPress project through the Five for the Future initiative. This initiative is crucial for the growth and sustainability of WordPress, and I’m honored to be supported by a company that truly understands the importance of giving back. Themeisle currently sponsors me for 5 hours a week (20 hours a month) of my contribution time. I’m actively (and somehow urgently) looking for additional sponsors to cover the remaining 15 hours per week (60 hours a month) to cover the total of my 20 hours a week (80 hours a month) of contribution time.
Giving back and paying forward
I also want to mention that I personally know Ionuț Neagu, the founder of Themeisle, as well as some of their dedicated employees. The Themeisle team shows an incredible commitment to the WordPress community. Over the past several years, they’ve consistently sent their employees to volunteer at WordCamp Europe, and even as co-organiser. This active involvement showcases their deep dedication to the WordPress ecosystem and their understanding of the importance of community engagement. Themeisle truly embodies the spirit of Five for the Future, believing in the value of giving back and paying it forward to ensure WordPress continues to thrive.
Themeisle is known for its excellent products
I’ve been using Themeisle’s products for over a decade. For instance, I’ve relied on Feedzy RSS Feeds on various client sites over the years, and I’m particularly excited to implement it into WPMondo this coming week for news aggregation.
The consistent reliability and robust functionality of their products have allowed me to deliver high-quality results for my clients time and again.
Themeisle offers some of the most popular and versatile options in the WordPress ecosystem.
Themes
In classic themes, Neve is cherished for its flexibility and speed, while Hestia remains another top choice for users seeking a clean and modern design. In terms of block themes and the new WordPress experience, Themeisle has developed the Neve FSE theme, a block theme version that leverages WordPress Site Editor capabilities for even greater customisation. Alongside Neve FSE, other block themes like Raft, Riverbank, and Jaxon offer unique designs, patterns and features, catering to a wide range of website needs. See all themes on WordPress.org.
They also offer the Templates Cloud which is a personalised library that allows users to save pages or posts created with Gutenberg, Elementor, or Beaver Builder for later use. These templates can be synced across multiple sites, making it easy to reuse your designs or patterns on different websites. This feature is particularly useful for developers or site managers who need to maintain consistency across various projects.
Plugins
Besides Feedzy which I mentioned above, Themeisle continues to lead with innovative plugins such as Otter Blocks, which enhances the Gutenberg editor, their tools are designed to cater to a wide range of website needs.
Their cloud-based image optimisation tool, Optimole, significantly improves website performance by optimising images and delivering them through a fast CDN, ensuring faster load times and a better user experience.
Themeisle has also introduced Hyve, a cutting-edge performance plugin designed to optimise WordPress sites by improving load times and boosting overall speed. Hyve takes a unique approach to site optimisation by minimising the impact of third-party scripts and assets, resulting in faster page loads and a smoother user experience. It’s particularly effective in reducing render-blocking resources, which can significantly enhance your site’s performance.
Other
The first, QuickWP.ai, is an AI-powered tool that allows users to quickly create custom WordPress block themes, using the WordPress Playground. It generates personalised content, styles, and even images based on user input, making theme creation more accessible and efficient than ever.
Another exciting aspect of Themeisle’s contributions is their involvement with WPShout. Recently, WPShout was merged with CodeinWP, bringing together two strong platforms under one roof. WPShout is run by Themeisle and offers a fantastic range of resources, including WordPress news, courses, and job postings.
These innovations demonstrate Themeisle’s dedication to equipping WordPress users with the most advanced tools available. Their ongoing commitment to development and innovation continues to empower users to build better, faster, and more dynamic websites with ease.
1% for the Planet
I recently discovered that Themeisle is also contributing to 1% for the Planet via Stripe Climate, and it was a pleasant surprise. This initiative reflects their commitment not only to the WordPress community, but to the wider global community. Knowing that they are investing in environmental causes aligns perfectly with their ethos of giving back and making a positive impact. It’s inspiring to see a company taking meaningful steps towards sustainability and supporting causes that matter.
Thank you ❤️
I’m excited to continue my contributions to WordPress, thanks to Themeisle’s generous sponsorship. Their support allows me to give back to a platform that has provided me with so much over the years. If you’re looking to elevate your WordPress site, I highly recommend exploring what Themeisle has to offer. Whether you need a reliable theme, a powerful plugin, or innovative tools, they have everything you need to take your website to the next level.
