Most people know by now that I love the new Headway 1.5 premium WordPress theme. If anyone asks what theme they should go with on their blog or website, I always recommend Clay Griffiths’ theme.

Now that Headway 1.5 has been officially released, however, the real power behind it will start to show as more people start exploring its engine room. This goes for normal bloggers like me as well as hardcore developers and coders.

For example, one of the features that some WordPress theme developers are talking about is the drop-down navigation menu. This is a really useful option to let you highlight features and services that you might offer but would otherwise take up space on your navigation bar. The problem is, most other themes need you to mess with the CSS code just to enable drop-down navigation. Not Headway 1.5.

In fact, not only can you set up a drop-down nav menu, you can rearrange the tabs as you go, as well as the position of the nav menu itself. And did I mention this is all without a single drop of CSS coding? And better still, all the changes happenin front of your eyes – no need for jumping back and forth between saves to see the changes.

While content may be king, you can’t dismiss good site design and Headway 1.5 makes it simple for anyone to have the latter taken care of.

And who doesn’t like simple?
