    Excellent site, Steve! And seems like a nifty app to boot!

    I especially like the type size, it works well with the overall feel and layout of the site. This is one area I see a lot of sites (not just X powered sites) get wrong. The right font size/type can go a long way in giving the site that polished look and feel. We look forward to seeing more of your creations with X 🙂

    Wow, really neat @Tyler ! Curious to know if you used any additional plugins to achieve the blocks. Alot of cool stuff going on here if you’d like to share how it was done =)

    Thanks Kyle. I still need to do a lot of responsive settings, but I’m working on it. I agree – fonts are important for sending the right message. I make a habit on thumbing through print magazines and watching TV commercials just to see what the trends are and how others use various design elements.

    This is my first time toying around with a website, so be gentle! My site is pretty simple, can’t quite tell if that’s do to my skillz (or lack there of) or my minimalist attitude. Fun stuff though, none the less. Thanks for creating a theme that’s rookie friendly.

    Hi,

    I am not a web developer, I build a initial (crappy) website for my company some years ago. Now I redid it in X and is finally satisfied enough to share :

    I am still tweaking on the site, especially on fitting to screen sizes, the frontslider is a challenge..

    I decided to go for a mix of a single page and separate pages for more technical stuff, so you keep the front single page as a short sales pitch.

    I am using price table, tabs, recent post, revolution slider and some other modules.

    Anyway, feedback is welcome.

    Great theme, which I can highly recommend.

    My website’s in Dutch, but I’ll share it anyway 🙂

    http://070media.nl

    070MEDIA is a company I started for WordPress webdesign & development, SEO and social media services. I decided to switch to X after a friend recommended it to me. I’ve had some issues with the visual composer but after having upgraded to the latest version of X, everything works fine.

    I’ve built my website on Renew 2 (the flat one) and I’m messing around with CSS customizations. It’s also still a work in progress 😉

    Hi Kaz,

    One thought related to your typography size might be to make your normal paragraph text about the size of this current line “See our websites look good on all screens. And in search engines.” You would need to then enlarge the size of your headline/subheadline size, but I think given the fullwidth nature of your design a larger type size for your standard paragraph text might look nice with the overall look and feel you are going for. Thanks for sharing!

    This is my eCommerce site. Kept it simple so the paintings show. What I love about the ‘X’ theme is the large product images. Seems so obvious to have this but very few themes do. Thanks theme.co for making this possible.

    Robert,

    Great use of white space and overall balance, etc. No surprises there though given your artistic abilities 🙂 This is a good example of letting the design fade to the background so the content takes center stage. It can be challenging to practice that sort of design constraint when putting together a site, so examples such as this are great for people to see.

    Thanks for sharing, my friend and for the kind words about X!
