Freelancer DevKit

Building on a theme framework usually means a mix of design settings, child theme setup and hand-written code. Freelancer DevKit puts these tasks in one place. It offers hundreds of no-code design options through a point-and-click interface, and it creates Freelancer child themes from a simple form. People who prefer not to write code can still make detailed changes to how their site looks.

When you do want to write code, the plugin gives you a way to do that too. A front-end CSS sandbox lets you test and organize style tweaks before applying them live. You can edit HTML on the front end, and add custom styles, functions and scripts with the built-in developer tools. It is made for the Freelancer theme and follows its mobile-first approach to responsive layouts.

Features

• Point-and-click design controls: Hundreds of no-code design options let users of any skill level customize how a website looks without writing a single line of code.
• Child theme creation by form: Generate a working Freelancer child theme in seconds with a simple form-based process, instead of building the files by hand.
• Mobile-first responsive layouts: The plugin builds on the mobile-first approach of the Freelancer Framework, so layouts are designed to adapt to different screen sizes.
• Front-end CSS sandbox: Try out and organize style changes in a sandbox environment first, then apply them to the live site once you are happy with the result.
• Real-time HTML editing: Edit your site's HTML content directly on the front end, which makes small content and markup changes quick to try and adjust.
• Custom code support: Add your own styles, functions and scripts with integrated developer tools when the no-code options need to be supplemented with tailored code.
• Flexible settings panel: Switch features on or off and adjust your workspace, including the Ace Editor theme, from a simple settings panel in the WordPress dashboard.
• Built for Freelancer Framework: The plugin is made specifically for the Freelancer theme, so its tools are designed to work with the framework and its child themes.
