An Inviting, Modern WordPress Theme For Thrive Theme Builder<\/h2>\n

But first, you\u2019ve got questions. We\u2019ve got answers…<\/p>\n

What is the New Ommi Theme?<\/h2>\n

Ommi is a brand new WordPress theme that makes it easy to build a beautiful website for your online business.<\/p>\n

It uses Thrive Theme Builder<\/a> to fully customize every single aspect of your website, giving you the power to build the perfect online visitor experience your brand deserves.<\/p>\n

\"Ommi<\/span><\/p>\n

Installing and customizing Ommi requires zero coding knowledge. Everything \u2013 from colors, fonts, page templates and more \u2013 can be configured in our Site Setup Wizard<\/a> and Visual Editor, so you\u2019re free to focus on building the skills that will grow your online business instead of complex web design.<\/p>\n

Simple blog?<\/b> No problem, Ommi will make your content look stunning.<\/p>\n

Service business?<\/b> Ommi gives you all the templates you need to impress your clients.<\/p>\n

eCommerce store?<\/b> We\u2019ve got you covered with full WooCommerce integration.<\/p>\n

Which design principles is Ommi based on?<\/h3>\n

When we built Ommi, we wanted to create a WordPress theme that was warm yet stylish, familiar yet modern, fresh yet comfortable.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to pin down Ommi\u2019s exact design language using English. Thankfully the Danes have the perfect word… Hygge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHygge… a quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n

Think of a warm mug of hot chocolate in your favorite room just as your weekend starts.<\/p>\n

Ommi transforms your WordPress website into an inviting destination, with a whimsical design palette, rounded edges, and warm colors and fonts.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s included in Ommi?<\/h3>\n

Most WordPress themes consist of just a few page templates for your blog, pages, homepage, and \u2014 if you\u2019re lucky \u2014 category pages.<\/p>\n

But not Ommi.<\/p>\n

Ommi offers more. Much, much more…<\/p>\n

The word \u2018theme\u2019 doesn\u2019t really convey the scale of what\u2019s included in Ommi. So let me share exactly what\u2019s included when you activate Ommi on your Thrive Theme Builder website:<\/p>\n

Who should build their website with Ommi?<\/h3>\n

Ommi is a perfect theme if you\u2019re starting a brand new WordPress website<\/b>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easiest to set up with a fresh WordPress installation \u2013 simply install Thrive Theme Builder, activate Ommi, and follow the instructions in the Site Setup Wizard<\/b><\/a>. It takes just a few minutes to get started as you add your logo, choose your header and footer designs, customize your brand colors and fonts, choose your page templates, and choose your navigation menus.<\/p>\n

Ommi is also a great choice if you\u2019re overhauling an existing website<\/b> using Shapeshift<\/a> or another older, legacy Thrive theme, like Rise or FocusBlog.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re converting an established Shapeshift website to Ommi, please don\u2019t treat it like a simple 1-click switch. Treat the move like any other WordPress theme change: make a site backup first, use a staging environment, and test it all before pushing the new design live.<\/p>\n

How to Access Ommi<\/h2>\n

How much is Ommi?<\/h3>\n

Ommi is available right now to all Thrive Suite customers, at no additional cost<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Simply update Thrive Theme Builder to the latest version, and the new Ommi theme will be waiting for you!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not already a Thrive Suite customer, you can get instant access to both Ommi and Thrive Theme Builder (and so many more conversion-focused WordPress tools!) by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do I need Thrive Theme Builder to use Ommi?<\/h3>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

Ommi is a companion theme powered by Thrive Theme Builder.<\/p>\n

Think of Ommi as the front-end design and layout, and Thrive Theme Builder as the engine that runs in the background, allowing you to customize everything to fit your brand, audience, niche and product.<\/p>\n

To get both Ommi and Thrive Theme Builder, you\u2019ll need an active subscription to Thrive Suite, which also gives you instant access to ALL our other great WordPress plugins \u2013 everything you need to build a successful online business with WordPress.<\/p>\n

How do I activate Ommi in Thrive Theme Builder?<\/h3>\n

If you already have Thrive Theme Builder installed on your WordPress site, head on over to the Thrive Theme Builder dashboard.<\/p>\n

Under the Themes<\/em> tab, you’ll see a button called “+ Add Theme”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Adding<\/span><\/p>\n

Then select “Load from the Thrive Cloud”…<\/em><\/p>\n

Ommi and Shapeshift<\/h2>\n

Since it was first launched, Thrive Theme Builder came bundled with its first companion theme, Shapeshift. So with today\u2019s launch of a second stunning companion theme, it\u2019s only natural to compare it to Ommi.<\/p>\n

How are they different?<\/p>\n

Why should you choose Ommi or Shapeshift?<\/p>\n

Can you easily switch between the two?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know…<\/p>\n

How is Ommi Different from Shapeshift?<\/h3>\n

Both Ommi and Shapeshift are companion themes that can be installed on your Thrive Theme Builder website. Think of them as great starting points with which to customize your website to match your brand perfectly.<\/p>\n

The difference between Ommi and Shapeshift is purely in their look and feel.<\/p>\n

Where Shapeshift has mainly rectangular shapes and serif fonts, the design language of Ommi is more rounded, and the fonts are sans-serif.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"Ommi<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\"Shapeshift<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I easily switch between Ommi and Shapeshift?<\/h3>\n

Switching from Shapeshift to Ommi should be treated like any other WordPress theme change.<\/p>\n

That means migrating your website using best practices:<\/p>\n

Make a Plan<\/p>\n

Make an audit of all your web pages, using a plugin like Export all URLs<\/a>. This will be useful for checking each page after the migration.<\/p>\n

Backup Everything<\/p>\n

Export backups of your database, media, site files and plugins, using a solution like BackupBuddy<\/a>. Keep copies of these backups in different locations.<\/p>\n

Use a Staging Environment<\/p>\n

Set up a staging or development site, where you can activate the Ommi theme on a copy of your website, without impacting the live version. This way you can iron out any wrinkles before pushing it live.<\/p>\n

Test the Final Migration<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re finally ready to make the switch to Ommi, block out a few hours and thoroughly test each URL until you\u2019re confident your new Ommi website is working perfectly. Be sure to test your marketing and sales funnels too.<\/p>\n

Because Ommi and Shapeshift are both built with Thrive Theme Builder, you\u2019ll find that most pages, templates and elements transfer effortlessly.<\/p>\n

However \u2013 and this is important \u2013 please remember that Ommi uses a different set of fonts, template layouts, and styles, so there will be some stylistic changes that may not transfer back and forth 1-to-1.<\/p>\n

Does Ommi include the same features as Shapeshift?<\/h3>\n

Ommi and Shapeshift are functionally identical.<\/p>\n

Both Ommi and Shapeshift work in exactly the same way; they offer beautifully designed, fully customizable templates for your Thrive Theme Builder website.<\/p>\n

There should be no loss of features or functionality when switching from Shapeshift to Ommi, only stylistic changes.<\/p>\n

Why would someone choose Ommi over Shapeshift?<\/h3>\n

Whether you choose to use the new Ommi theme or Shapeshift theme for your WordPress website is purely an aesthetic choice.<\/p>\n

Ommi and Shapeshift share many common features, but they communicate with a very different design language. They\u2019re like two cars built with the exact same chassis, engine and creature comforts, but featuring very different bodywork.<\/p>\n

Both Ommi and Shapeshift have their own distinct identity and voice…<\/p>\n
