Theme Blvd Layout Builder

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   As usual, this plugin, like everything from Theme Blvd. is terrific. Details? It’s easy to use, has a ton of options, and Theme Blvd stays on top of all the wp versions.

   Like all Jason’s themes, his excellent Jumpstart and all of his plugins, this too is a very well coded and sophisticated tool.

   This just adds another level of GREATNESS to the Theme Blvd themes and gives better page control/layout. This gives me the ability to look like BIG websites when it is just me. 🙂

   I just recently purchased the Jump Start framework and have been messing around with it to see how it compares to other frameworks I’ve used. This is a great tool to build some custom page layouts and adds flexibility. A lot of premium themes I’ve seen use shortcodes to create unique page layouts which works but this is a much better way of handling content structure. The one thing I would like to see is a visual editor toolbar with the text area option. It is not a huge issue because you could just set it up as a floating widget area and use the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget plugin but it would be nice to have on the page itself. Well done.
