Leo Prestashop Theme Development Plan

To kick off the new year 2013, we would like to highlight the important development plans for our Prestashop Theme products. There will be many new things to go alive. Here's what you need to know about our development plan for the year to come.

I. Leo Framework - A responsive prestashop framework built with Bootstrap

For a long time of development, the first stable version of Leo Prestashop Framework has been released. The framework is built with Bootstrap . Leo Framework goes with ease of usability, rich features, visual customization ... and support Prestashop version 1.5.

Some Main Features of the framework:

• Developed with Bootstrap
• Fully responsive framework
• Flexible layout system
• Google fonts supported
• HTML5 and CSS3 supported
• Visual Layout Customization

II. Bootstrap Intergration

From now, Leo Prestashop themes will be developed with Bootstrap (sleek, intuitive, and powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development).

"There have been all sorts of frameworks for web creation, with varying degrees of popularity over the years. But no framework ever gained as much traction as Twitter Bootstrap has over last year or two." - Brian Casel

But why Bootstrap ?

• Provide CSS and JavaScript to control the presentation of content in HTML.
• Provides the default settings for typography, tables, forms, and buttons
• Provides components (navigation bars, pagers, and progress bars) as well as scriptable widgets (tooltips, tabs, and picture carousels), to name just a few things
• Bootstrap is all CSS and JavaScript you can use Bootstrap with any server technology or development environment
• The idea behind Bootstrap is to get a site up and running quickly with a good looking and visually consistent interface.
• ...

III. Responsive Design: Not Just For Handhelds Anymore

Responsive web design has been around for several years now, and in the year of 2012, we started to kick of the idea of creating responsive prestashop themes. And we had some success with a lot of responsive prestashop themes released.

In this year 2013, "Responsive" is not only be about folding down the design from desktop to tablet to handheld. We will also need to plan for how websites will expand upward, adapting to larger and different types of displays.
