February 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Sentient is a smart, innovative WooCommerce theme. Products are cleverly aligned using jQuery masonry allowing you to cleanly showcase a great number of products on your shop pages without any wasted space. Sentient has also been fully optimised for use on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.

- Responsive design
Possibly the best feature of Sentient is it’s device agnostic design. That means whether you’re viewing the theme on your desktop, your tablet or your smartphone, it responds and adapts delivering an optimised design for that device.

- Masonry
We’ve been fans of the jQuery Masonry plugin for some time, and with WooCommerce the perfect opportunity arose to smartly implement it. Products are cleverly lined up bricks-and-mortar fashion and there’s an option to make all shop pages true-full-width to take advantage of this nifty feature.

- WooCommerce Goodness
As you’d expect, Sentient makes full use of all of WooCommerce features. We’ve painstakingly married theme and plugin to provide a seamless front-end experience. Every single one of WooCommerce widgets has been lovingly styled to match the beautiful design, as has each key component of the plugin such as the product categories, product descriptions, cart, checkout and user account sections. Read all about the benefits of WooCommerce here.

- Customisability
There are several colour schemes built into Sentient ensuring there is a look to match your brand identity.

- Custom Homepage
The homepage is full of options. Choose whether to display content from a recent blog post or page, how many recent, featured or best selling products to showcase and in which format, grid or slider. On top of that there’s a handy widgetised region and a simple call to action beneath the products inviting your users into the main shop section of your online store.

- Shortcodes
We’ve included two custom shortcodes in Sentient. A sticky note which you can use to highlight a message on your site and a sale banner to notify users when you’re running special offers.
