Calling All Dynamik Users! The Dynamik Skin Store Is Here!

   July 26, 2018
I can’t wipe this smile off my face. I’m serious, I’ve been grinning for the past week. 🙂 And not just because I’ve been anticipating the launch of this awesome new Premium Dynamik Resource, but because I’ve really had a re-birth of appreciation and excitement regarding this amazing website building theme! I know, it probably sounds corny, but I’ve been like a kid in a candy store with this thing. And what’s crazy is that I haven’t pushed out any...

   June 7, 2017
In this tutorial I show you how to create a Custom Widget Area, add my Social Media Icons to it, and then fix it to the top of my site with some basic styling. I also go into some of the various aspects of how WordPress implements its own fixed top banner on different screen/viewport widths.

Dynamik And Extender Updates: Template Post Types And More

   May 2, 2017
We just pushed out updates for both Dynamik Website Builder and our Extender Plugins and I wanted to take a few minutes to go over the notable points. Template Post Types First let’s talk about a new feature found in all three tools in keeping up with some of the latest offerings found in WordPress version 4.7+. In 4.7 we were given the ability to make Page Templates available to all post types, not just WordPress pages. This means you...

Freedom Seekers: A New Kind of Web Developer

   March 23, 2016
Over the past half a decade or so we’ve seen an increasingly large numbers of non-developers take on that role in the name of gaining their freedom from jobs they feel “stuck” in. It began with blogging and marketing and even writing ebooks, with WordPress as the foundation for these endeavors. Yet for many, myself included, making a solid, family supporting living online required a more concrete, mainstream (or whatever you want to call it) skill-set. Not necessarily to replace...

Is Dynamik Website Builder The Right Theme For You?

   March 21, 2016
You’d like to think that a particular WordPress theme could be ideal for all users, but that’s simply not a practical reality. Every theme has some kind of user in mind, even if one is more tailored toward a select few while another encompasses the features sought by many. Dynamik is not unique in this regard and in this post I hope to paint an accurate picture of what kind of Genesis Child Theme Dynamik is and what kind of...

Dynamik Website Builder: The History Behind The Theme

   March 18, 2016
When I first started my WordPress development business it was on the tail end of a WP web design venture that helped transition me from a local computer service biz to the much more free and flexible qualities found online. I liked the potential prospects of my first attempt establishing myself on the web, but it still wasn’t quite the fit I was looking for. My favorite part of stage-one was developing my own WP Theme for use on my client...

Custom Coding Your Dynamik Skin

   March 2, 2016
Several months back we added an intuitive solution to custom coding individual Dynamik Skins and in this tutorial I want showcase this feature and explain how it works and what makes it unique from the other custom coding Dynamik options. First, let me note the fact that by default you will not see the custom coding buttons in your Dynamik Design > Skins section as they are not present in the “Default Skin”. So to enable this feature you either...

An Updated Comparison Between Dynamik Website Builder And The Genesis Extender Plugin

   August 7, 2015
Ever so often I like to push out an updated comparison of our Genesis Framework focused WordPress products. After various updates and refinements are implemented and as WordPress itself evolves it’s good to keep this comparison fresh for the greatest benefit to members and potential members alike. We currently offer two premium WordPress products that are exclusively developed for the Genesis Framework. These include Dynamik Website Builder which is a Genesis Child Theme, and Genesis Extender which is a Genesis...

Learn A Solid Dynamik Website Builder Workflow

   July 31, 2015
When I build websites with Dynamik I generally stick to a five to seven step workflow that nicely utilizes the tools offered by Dynamik and gets the job done quickly. This is certainly not the only way to work with Dynamik, but my hope is that the following will at least provide our members with a useful framework to follow when creating their own flow that works best with them. My Dynamik Workflow Step 1: Choose and Import a Dynamik...

Dynamik Loves Page Builder Plugins

   July 14, 2015
We recently released Dynamik version 1.8 to fix a few bugs, add a few refinements and include a new Page Template specifically to address the need for better Page Builder Plugin compatibility. And it is this last point that I want to expand upon in this post, providing a general overview of this new Dynamik feature and what it means for our members. Dynamik has always played fairly well with the various Page Builder Plugins out there. However, to allow them to...
