After several Dynamik users contacted me with this particular question, I felt it necessary to try and clear things up for anyone else who might wonder if the Genesis DevKit Plugin is in fact replacing Dynamik Website Builder. The simple answer is no, definitely not, but there’s quite a bit of nuance to that answer that is worth expanding on, so if you’re interested read on…

Ace Editor Update To Both Dynamik 2.6.0 And Extender Pro 1.1.0
For quite some time now I have received feature requests for both Dynamik Website Builder and Extender Pro to add Ace Editor support to both the Custom Template and Custom Hook Box features. And in this update I’ve decided to do just that. You’ll also now find Ace Editor Support in the Dynamik Responsive Design Options, for the six media query boxes.

This post won’t apply to many since the majority of Dynamik users are running Dynamik in HTML5 mode since that has been the default setting for many years now. But for those who do in fact have Dynamik set to XHTML instead, here’s what you need to know.

I can’t wipe this smile off my face. I’m serious, I’ve been grinning for the past week. 🙂 And not just because I’ve been anticipating the launch of this awesome new Premium Dynamik Resource, but because I’ve really had a re-birth of appreciation and excitement regarding this amazing website building theme! I know, it probably sounds corny, but I’ve been like a kid in a candy store with this thing. And what’s crazy is that I haven’t pushed out any new update or anything like that for Dynamik, but have simply re-connected with all that makes Dynamik awesome. And I think the reason for this is because the Skin aspect of Dynamik really provides the foundation for all of the other built-in DEV tools. In other words, if you’re working with solid Skins then you’re already ahead of the game with Dynamik itself.
This is where my excitement for this new Dynamik offering comes into play. Here I get to dedicate some of my web development time to essentially pre-package my expertise into high quality Premium Dynamik Skins. And I’m doing so over at the Official Dynamik Skins Store! There you will find the beginnings of efforts to provide our Dynamik members with the very best design starting points and hopefully helping those Dynamik Freelancers up their game and increase their revenue. I know how much time really is money, and these Skins should save you a ton of time! Read more “Calling All Dynamik Users! The Dynamik Skin Store Is Here!”
Introducing Instant IDE And A Notable New Dynamik Update
It’s been a busy couple of months to say the least, but I have some exciting new tools and features to show for it! So without further ado let’s get straight to it…
Instant IDE And The Instant IDE Manager Plugin
Last month we started beta testing my latest dev tool called Instant IDE. This is a powerful web-based development environment that works completely outside/independent of WordPress, giving you full control over your WP-powered websites. It’s actually so independent that you can use it on ANY website, not just those running WordPress. Having said that, our target market has always been WordPress freelance developers and that hasn’t changed with Instant IDE. And that’s where the Instant IDE Manager Plugin comes in.

Introducing Freelancer: The Framework For The Freelancer WordPress Developer
I’m writing this candid blog post after many months of intense, focused framework development, and I must say that I couldn’t be more excited! This particular project is quite near and dear to my passionate pursuit for that perfect dev tool to present to WP freelancers everywhere. Everything about it, from the code that forms its foundation to the system that distributes it all, has been purposefully presented to ideally meet the needs of its intended audience. You could say for sure that Freelancer is not meant for everyone, but that’s absolutely a good thing! There are plenty of theme solutions out there that are a good fit for the masses, but Freelancer strives to live up to its name and suit itself solely for those making a living (or looking to start doing so) through WordPress freelance development.

How To Add CSS Animation Effects To Your Mobile Hamburger Menu Icons
Someone posted a link to the following page in the Beaver Builder Facebook group regarding Hamburger Icon Animations:
The instant I saw it I knew I had to implement that into Dynamik! 😀 Especially with the recent 2.1.0 update which added the Responsive “Vertical Toggle” menu shortcodes feature which allows you to easily add custom content to those responsive menus, it was a not brainer.

Having Fun With jQuery: A Hands-On Introduction
I know at least some of you may find javascript code, and even jQuery code, to be confusing or simply that mysterious code library that you just accept as necessary, but never really come to understand. Well that’s a shame because jQuery is actually not that difficult to at least understand and even use in basic ways once you understand some foundational aspects of how it works.
