I’ve read some great things about headwaythemes and would love to see if anyone who has used both (the headway theme and the builder theme) could compare the two.

Ithemes.com and webdesign.com ROCK!
First, I bought Flexx and worked with it for about a year and really liked it. Then I purchased Builder for the very low price and received 20 Child Themes!!! There isn’t anything that I can’t do with Builder. Sure it has a slight learning curve to it (what theme doesn’t). But ithemes.com offers FREE live webinars for anyone who wants to learn and build powerful sites. NO other themes store offers that kind of service. And the support forum that they offer is a-w-e-s-o-m-e….. AND plus you can get a free month from webdesign.com !!! ROCK ON…

I believe iThemes/WebDesign.com offered a webinar that explained how to do that (or something along those lines). Might be worth looking up and checking out.

Good bit of software. Just trying to work out how to import previously made themes to use the Builder functionality.
As for the complaint above… what rubbish, the Builder site is perfectly clear about what they offer. BTW its on special offer at present (15th jan 11).

To update, itheme builder now has a style plugin that is amazing. Allows you do change just about anything you want. From font size, color, background, nav bars, border and more. Also they have a new SEO plugin that is the best I have tried to date. You can make your own titles, desc, and meta tags rather then having the pulled like other SEO plugins. Ithemes is a great product and worth every penny.

Thanks for the clarification Cory, I figured it was some sort of misunderstanding.

Leland, Kevin’s taking the ugly route here …. we did refund him (after he threatened us with this type of smear campaign despite the fact we have a clear no refunds policy and like you mention the sales page is pretty clear) but now he’s taking his frustrations public.

And we don’t take threats lightly ….

First time in 2.5 years that someone has exposed their character this publicly for their own mistake, but can’t help what people decide to do with their time.

We’ll just invest our time more wisely … in the thousands of happy, overjoyed customers who love what we do and support us with their hard-earned money.

On the Builder purchase page it says “9 Bonus Child Themes.” Not sure how you got the impression it works with all of iThemes’ themes.

Did you purchase the All Access Pass?

Buyer Warning, Builder only works with 9 Themes, not the full arsenal you get when you buy the all access themes pass. The purchase page is deceiving, leading one to believe that all themes work with builder, when in reality, only 9 themes work, and those 9 are bunky and limited at best.

When I realized this, I immediately asked for a refund, simple mistake I thought, right? Well, the folks at ithemes REFUSE to issue a refund, despite the fact that it was only a few hours after I realized this shortcoming.

So now I must pay for something that I am not going to use, and they have been very uncooperative in that they’d rather keep my money, than issue a simple refund.

Builder theme is well worth the money. I am currently working on 3 sites that are completely different concepts and functionality. My initial reaction was that there is no way one theme would provide all that i needed for three completely different sites. I was wrong. Builder theme combined with the free billboard they are offering right now seems to fit the bill perfectly.
It was well worth the 127. DDSlider from codecanyon makes a beautiful plugin for the content section in builder as well. Very easy, very novice skills can accomplish a professional build..and quickly.
