Best isn’t just a looker, it also features some incredibly useful functionality, allowing you to get the most out of your website! Along with the shortcodes included in the theme, Best utilizes a simple, streamlined options panel that affords you tons of flexibility and customization opportunities. You can easily turn portions of the site on or off if you don’t plan on using them, integrate your Twitter feed right into the site, and even select colors and background images for certain areas!
Responsive Design
Fixed-width websites are so 2011. If you’re ready to bring your site into 2012 with style, try out a design that is built from the ground up to look great on all devices. Best is built on a thoroughly tested responsive grid and HTML5 to ensure that your content is easily accessible no matter what kind of gadget happens to be displaying it.
Page Templates
Go beyond the blog with Best’s included page layouts. If your business or personal site does a lot of work with static pages, you’ll be pleased to know that Best comes with three different templates, allowing you to achieve whatever kind of design you’re after. Included layouts are content left, content right, and full-width.
Multiple Menus
Best has two menu sections available, which can be managed via the drag and drop interface available since WordPress 3.0. The topbar navigation scrolls with users in “desktop” view, then folds to create a clean mobile nav for smaller screens. The footer navigation is great for any additional links that you might have for your site.
