Beautiful Typography

Fearless’s typography is top-notch. To start with, everything is built on a modular grid based off of the Golden Ratio. Next, we’ve gone through the Google web font directory and chosen the best Google Webfonts. You can preview your font selections live using the WordPress Live Theme Customizer, and you can have different fonts for your headings and body text. Choosing a font has never been so easy, or fun!

Fully Internationalized and Translation-ready

Fearless has been designed from the ground up with translation in mind. It comes pre-packaged with a .po file containing all of the theme’s text strings, ready for translation. In addition, it’s compatible with the most popular internationalization plugins such as WPML.

Powerful Framework

Fearless is built on top of the Hybrid Core theme framework by Justin Tadlock, one of the most respected minds in the WordPress community, so you know Fearless is built on a rock-solid base.

BBPress Compatible

Fearless is fully compatible with BBPress, so you can set up your own forum community on your site if you wish.

Easy-to-Use

Fearless has been designed from the ground up to be as easy-to-use as possible. No longer will you need to learn a confusing, proprietary interface to build custom layouts, just drag-and-drop! You’ll love Fearless’s sensible, easy-to-understand theme options panel, which works and looks just like the rest of WordPress. Finally, we’ve gone over every theme option and considered how we can make it easier to understand and use. Spend less time fighting with your theme, and more time doing something you really enjoy!

Compatible with Your Existing Content

Fearless has been designed to work perfectly with your existing content and images, taking care to follow WordPress standards for coding and CSS. If you already have content on your site, there’s no need to go through and update each post manually in order to enable certain theme features such as responsive images.

Full Documentation

In addition to the dead-simple setup process and easy-to-use theme options panel, we have a comprehensive documentation file included in the theme download.

Free Bug-Fixes and Updates

Theme updates and bug fixes are always free. In addition, we’re always looking for ways to make the theme better and easier to use, so we listen to and care about your feedback. We’re committed to making sure our themes are 100% compatible with the latest version of WordPress the day it’s released. We test our themes on beta versions of WordPress, so when the final version is released and your web host upgrades WordPress automatically, you won’t need to worry about any down-time from an incompatible theme

Free Support from the Theme Developers Themselves

Finally, we take support very seriously. Your satisfaction is our #1 concern, so you can be sure you’ll be well taken care of.
