The Focus Design System
Your design is responsible for a heck of a lot more than simply looking good. After all, it plays a key role in some of the most important aspects of your site:
Customizations — Are your customizations easy to manage and maintain over time?
Flexibility — Does your design have options? Can you change things easily? Are those changes adaptive?
Performance — Is your design built for speed or fancy fluff?
A proper design system—which no other WordPress Theme besides Focus has—ensures your customizations are easy to make and easy to manage over time, maintains flexibility (you change options, and everything—including your customizations—adjusts accordingly), and preserves performance.
The Focus Design System gives you control over fonts, sizing, colors, and spacing (even on specialty elements like this caption)
Working with a system provides benefits now and in the future. Keep costs down and reduce headaches by letting the Focus Design System work for you!

Content Presentation Styles for Maximum Flexibility
With 3 different content presentation modes and custom templates for specialty pages (like landing pages), Focus includes everything you need to dominate on the web.
This means you don’t have to use clunky page builders or landing page Plugins—which slow down your site—unless you absolutely want to.
And while Focus works great with page builders, it’s nice to know you have the option to keep it simple!
On top of that, no matter which presentation mode you choose, your content will be formatted with Golden Ratio Typography for pixel-perfect readability on every device!
Check out the video below for a quick demonstration of the Focus content presentation modes.
And the best part? Focus content presentation modes are non-destructive.
This means you can choose one mode now, and if you ever change your mind in the future, you’ll be able to switch seamlessly!
With Focus, you’ve got options—your site can be whatever you need it to be.

Easy Customizations with the Visual Template Editor
When it comes to editing templates, the “WordPress way” requires you to edit hybrid PHP + HTML code in files.
YUCK! This is inconsiderate and downright insulting to non-technical WordPress users. Here’s why:
Editing templates is an intuitive task, but using code to edit templates is…well…the opposite of intuitive.
That’s why Focus includes a remarkable visual template editor that enables you to make any changes you want to your templates.
Thesis Skin HTML Editor
Anyone can edit templates with the Focus visual template editor!
If this were any other WordPress Theme, the visual template editor would be the main feature.
But this is just another way Focus gives you complete control and makes it easier to run your website!
(I’ll share a secret, though: The basic Focus options are so effective that most customers never even need to use the template editor!)

What does “optimized for speed” really mean?
Marketers love to claim their products are “optimized for speed” or built for “performance-first,” but what does that actually mean?
I don’t want to throw a bunch of buzzwords at you. Instead, I’d just like to show you what this stuff means in the context of Focus.
Bottom line? Focus nails the technical details that make your site load faster and perform better in search engines.
This frees you up to focus on the two things most critical to your success—your content and your audience.

Modular Content for Easier Site Management
What’s the most important thing on your website? It’s not your design—it’s your content! I’m talking about stuff like:
Posts and Pages
Email signup forms
Calls to action
Sales pitches
Personal/company bios
Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t give you intuitive, bulletproof ways to handle anything beyond basic Posts and Pages.
I know how critical some of this content is to your success. You need an easy way to manage it, and beyond that, you need an easy way to deploy this content precisely where you want!
That’s where Modular Content comes into play. Watch the video below and see how Modular Content will make it easy to manage the “other stuff” that’s important to you.
If you want to win with WordPress, you need simplicity. Focus delivers.

Common Questions About Focus
Why is Focus a recurring payment and not a one-time fee?
Focus is constantly evolving to meet the needs of an ever-changing internet. This evolution requires continuous development and testing to keep your site on the cutting edge.
Beyond that, Focus is more than just a WordPress Theme—it’s a master class in how to run your website. Through the community forums (where we go deep on best customization practices) and private email support, you’ll have access to answers and expertise you simply will not get anywhere else.
Finally, you have total control over the recurring charges and can cancel at any time. You will not be charged in perpetuity because you are in control.
What makes Focus more valuable than other WordPress Themes?
Unlike every other WordPress Theme, Focus is optimized for the experience of running your website.
This is the key to understanding the value of Focus—it’s the difference between stage 1 and stage 2 website thinking:
Bottom line? Trying to save a few dollars now will cost you a heck of a lot more in the future!
Will Focus work with my favorite Page Builder?
Absolutely! Though it’s worth noting that Focus includes specialized templates you can use to create pages—like landing pages—that are significantly faster than whatever you make with the Page Builder.
This is critically important because faster pages promote higher conversion rates.
Also, by creating your pages with Focus (instead of a Page Builder), you’ll experience the benefits of better organization, which leads to easier and more manageable customizations.
Does Focus work with the Gutenberg editor?
Yes, Focus works with both the Classic and Gutenberg editors.
In addition, if you’d like to speed up your site by removing the 33kB of CSS Gutenberg adds to every page, you can use the free Clean Up WP Box that comes with Focus to do this.
Can I use Focus on my WordPress.com site?
No—you must have a WordPress.org installation in order to run Focus.
How does support work?
We offer two exceptional avenues for support—community forums and private email assistance.
Most customers prefer the forums because the quality of information is so high and because the Focus community is active at all hours of the day. However, if you’ve got a more sensitive question, we’re happy to address that in our private, email-based support!
Can I use Focus on sites for clients?
Yes! Please note that client domains count toward your licensed domain usage. If you need more domains, you can upgrade your Focus license at any time.
What will happen to my site(s) if my Focus license expires?
If your Focus license expires, your site(s) will still work, but they will no longer receive automatic updates.
In addition, you will not be able to download Focus, access the forums, or use private email support until your license is renewed.
Can Focus be translated?
Yes! Focus is completely internationalized and ready for translation. We even have a dedicated forum category for translations, so you’ll be able to hit the ground running.
