On behalf of the Management Team and the Design Team, it is with great pleasure that I announce the opening of our brand new Official Themes site. Matonor and Trix have put in alot of time and effort to produce the new site and have done so with such impressive teamwork and communication. As you may already know, a Design Team was implemented in the reorganization and Matonor is the Team Leader.... Matonor stumbled over
php-fusion.de in May 2004, looking for an easy to use CMS. He was totally amazed by php-fusion (v3.05 was out back then), especially by the ease of the theme system. A bit later he introduced his first php-fusion design which is still used on
inselnderwinde.de. He received numerous requests about this Theme, so he decided to introduce a theme section to his back then ultima-online dedicated site
matonor.de. There was no php-fusion themes site at that time so he first added an English section and later fully changed the site to English as more and more visitors of foreign countries visited. Meanwhile, Matonor has created over 30 themes for php-fusion, introduced new technqiues and styles with each of them, rendered captions, full adjustability and feature overkill. He has been a Theme Designer and Modder for more than a dozen of websites.

"php-fusion has become an important part of my daily life and I'm proud to have been given the opportunity to help this unique system. As a member of the Design as well as of the Support Team, I will try to extend the visual variability of php-fusion and help users to utilize this System for their personal needs. This includes the creation of new themes for php-fusion, provision of tips, tricks and support in connection with extending and using the standard themes."
Trix came across fusion back in 2005 and fell in love with the CMS, because of it's simplicity and ease of use, and it was so lightweight on servers. He was a natural choice to the Design Team and has already proven himself as a valuable member of the team.
The new site utilizes a W3C Compliant theme, exclusively created for the support sites and our new official site structure. You will notice that the site features a very low profile on any core modifications, which will focus on making the use of the site and the retrieval of information as easy as possible instead of distracting the interest onto the Theme or unnecessary features. Later, the future main element of this site will be installed - the Theme Database - it will provide an environment that will help both the Site Staff and Users to keep track of the growing number of PHPFusion themes. It will feature an extensive category and sub-category structure, screenshots, ratings, comments, direct downloads and lots of information about the themes in an easy-to-browse and searchable format.
You could call this site a pilot project for all other support sites, so stay tuned
Check it out!
