We're please to be releasing Holder out of beta today and hope you find this as useful a theme as we think you will.

Entrepreneurs. We know you. You love getting started on that hot new idea as soon as possible - and today the barrier to entry on a new web venture is almost nothing.

Simply purchase your domain name, set up WordPress with a decent host provider, and you're ready to go - right?

Sometimes, as they say, the devil is in the details.

That's why we created Holder.

What is holder?

We like to call holder "the most charming theme for the time in between."

And we're serious! It can take weeks or months to get your project completely off the ground. As you're busy putting together the next big thing, what are your visitors treated with?

Maintenance pages are okay, but how do you keep interested parties informed? How do you present your vision quickly and easily to the world? How can you display the professionalism and polish your idea is meant to convey?

Here are just some of the features:

- 13 themes - each able to be customized by you - yes you can create your own theme based on ANY of our themes using our branding theme options and color picker! We've done away with the 'select default.css' and made any theme style customizable. Hows that for flexibility? We even chucked a parent and child theme in there.
- Built in blog styling - we felt the number one thing lacking in holding themes was the ability to have a blog... we fixed that with Holder. Full threaded comments and all the things you expect from a normal WordPress theme comes as standard in Holder.
- Built in page styling - we added a page template so you can entice your future users
- Simple SEO - last thing you want to have to do on setting a site up is add plugins at the start - no problem we've got your SEO covered with this simple feature.
- Widget areas - want to add widgets? No problem Holder in each style has widget ready areas.
- Form code area - add a form just copy and paste (subject to the method you use this may or may need adjustment in child theme).
- Google analytics - place Google code in your footer
- Google fonts - bored of the web safe fonts? Try a fancy Google font using our great method previewed in our last theme Studio
- Social buttons - Want to link to Flickr, Rss, Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, Del.icio.us? No problem just put in your url and a button will appear on the site. We made these buttons custom for you and this theme.
- Text areas - Add 2 headers, description and footer links just by typing in theme options.
- WordPress 3.0 menus - turn on and off navigation with a simple drop down setting and if on we have made Holder work with the built in WordPress menu system to give you ultimate control.
- Branding options - upload a logo, image or even choose to have text - build your own Holder theme.

We hope you agree that's quite a list from a Holder theme!

Currently Holder only works on WordPress with or without Multisite and not BuddyPress but we will be looking to release a BuddyPress version at a later date after the release.

We hope you enjoy Holder and look forward to seeing the sites you make with it.
