Headway 3.0 Beta 1 Is Out – Download Now

Finally after a long wait, Headway 3.0 Beta 1 has arrived! As mentioned in previous articles Headway 3.0 is a radical change as compared to Headway 2.0. Here are the number of features which comes with Headway 3.0

Leafs → Blocks

Even though leafs have been an integral part of Headway’s success, we thought it’s time to call them something different. Now, leafs are known as blocks. We hope this will clear up some confusion.

The New Visual Editor

The visual editor is now broken into 2 different modes: Layout and Design. Also, Headway 3.0 brings the brand new layout/page selector.

Layout/Page Selector

Besides the new grid system, the new layout and page selector in Headway 3.0 is extremely powerful.

In Headway 2.0, you had to edit each and every page. Not only was this a pain for the user, it wasn’t efficient. Those leafs had to be stored in the database somehow. Also, you were limited to which pages you could edit. Now, with 3.0, you can edit absolutely any page, single post, custom taxonomy, custom post type, and any other type of page you throw at it!

Another new and great thing about the Layout Selector is that it’s completely hierarchical. You can edit as few pages as you’d like or you can get down and be make finite changes on individual pages.

So, if you have the top-level ‘Single’ layout customized, all layouts under it will inherit upwards and use the ‘Single’ layout. You can also drill down to a layout under ‘Single’ and create a layout for it. All layouts under ‘Single’ will inherit up and use the ‘Single’ layout, but the separate layout you customized will use its own. It’s that simple!

Layout Mode

As soon as you enter the layout mode for the first time, you will see the layout/page selector to the left and a blank grid to the right of that. Please note: Headway 3.0 Beta 1 does not have any default layouts.

To create a block, just click and drag. A popup will appear asking you which block type you would like to assign to the new block.

This new grid system has been written from the ground up and works entirely different than Headway 2.0 and previous versions of Headway.

Known Issues

As mentioned above, it is a beta version, so like every beta version there are number of known issues and are listed below:

Box shadow and text shadow properties do not work in the Design mode.

There are a limited number of blocks at this time. We’re working quickly to add more (image rotator, etc).

Comments do not work under the content block.

All SEO settings are removed at this time.

All admin options under Headway » Options are removed for Beta 1

Well its an Beta version and pretty soon the final product is available for use. Remember to grab Headway Themes as early as possible because the prices will increase as soon as Headway 3.0 is released. So for what you are waiting for? Grab it right now:

Headway WordPress Theme is an SEO optimized theme which comes with lots of unlimited options. It is a drag and drop theme and I’m using this theme on my other blog – DiscountCoupon4U. The best thing I like about this theme is that, it offers you to build any type of website with its drag and drop option and even though if you do not have any knowledge of CSS and PHP, you can design a beautiful website in no time.

Already, in previous post I’ve shared Headway 3.0 Features and a small video preview of Headway 3.0 and now in this post I’m sharing video preview of Headway 3.0 Beta Version. This the first video of Headway 3.0 Beta version which is exclusively created for Headway Visual Editor its because Headway 3.0 Visual Editor has grown up into a friendly design environment with major functional areas having their own frame within the window:

Layout and Design have separate controls, so you can focus on page structure separately from visual elements like color.

The Layout Selector on the left lets you drill down to what you’re editing.

The Control Panel at the bottom shows you the details and individual element controls of what you’ve chosen to edit.

The Layout Selector and the Control Panel are collapsible and expandable.

Still thinking, a lot more has to come with Headway 3.0 and remember that as soon as Headway 3.0 is released, the prices also goes up. So, Hurry-Up to grab Headway Themes as soon as possible.

For those who do not know Headway is an SEO optimized WordPress Theme which comes with drag and drop features. This theme offers you to cut down many of your plugins from your WordPress blogs and make it a plugin minimalistic.

In addition to this, Headway 3.0 comes with “block and grid” model which means that you can start selecting a grid layout depending on your design and then you can mouse over the area of the grid and select what content you want in each leaf.

Headway 3.0 comes with initial fee for personal and developer license and a subscription model for 6 months or 12 months. In addition to this, Headway will have child themes too which offers you to choose a pre-style layout and offers you to save lot of time.

The best thing I like (right now) is that current users get free upgrade to 3.0 and will never have to pay a subscription free. Isn’t that cool? For me it’s a good news as I do not have to spend extra amount of money.
