Drag and Drop Layout Manager

Using the drag-and-drop “Layout Manager” you can create custom layouts for any page or post. Attach custom headers and footers to your layouts and interchange them as needed. This provides incredible flexibility so that you decide how your site looks instead of the theme deciding for you.

Contact Form Builder

You can add custom fields to your contact forms from the admin options. Any number of custom fields can be created and attached individually to any form. Includes options for custom validation, custom error messages, CAPTCHA and more.

Unbranded White Label Admin

An unbranded administrative interface with options to add your logo to the admin as well as and other company details, set permissions to restrict client access to theme options and more. To disable access to advanced developer features you can optionally hide the developer panels before turning the site over to your client.

Sidebar Generator

Create unlimited sidebars and add them to your custom layouts. You can also insert sidebars directly into any content area using a special shortcode!

Coded with Care

The theme uses HTML5 and CSS3 to create advanced styles using the latest technologies. Proper heading tags and coding standards are used to ensure outstanding search engine optimization. We take pride in creating well formatted and easily managed code.

And a lot more!

We’ve built this theme jam packed with so many incredible features and functionality they can’t all be listed here.

Some nice things customers are saying…

I bought this theme last week and it is by far the most flexible, innovative, supported and documented WordPress theme I have ever come across. Amazing work. – resellerdepot

I buy themes from TF like women buy shoes and this has been the BEST user experience in crafting a custom site that I’ve had. Better than WooThemes, Thesis, Genesis, BuddyBoss, PageLines, Press75, etc etc. – gopherdogs

Between the amazing aesthetic design and the superbly thought out backend, this theme could not be praised enough.
Congratulations on an excellent job. – kmahbod

WOW – I just wanted to get on here and say that the support forum is one of the best I have been on. Great community and easy to use. I have found most of my questions answered already there. This theme is getting 5 stars from me. Not just for the ease of use but because of the support I am getting in the Forums. I think I will be getting Mingle next. Thanks so much!!!!! – findley75494

It’s all about support, and I very much doubt that I could get better support than I have through Parallelus, even though, at the end of the day, it wasn’t a problem with the theme at all, but with the server. I would never have solved this for myself, even though I consider myself an experienced WordPress user – completely out of my depth.

After all this the big question is. Would I buy from Parallelus again? Yes, I would, with a good feeling as well, because I know that I will get excellent support. – musicmovement

I recently joined the // (Parallelus) family after I purchased another theme and it failed miserably. I’ve been enjoying your product and I love that there is such a big community around support. – mikeg
