Building With BeTheme
Ryan James starts building on BeTheme by Muffin Group, the theme that taught him to build great WordPress sites and introduced him to Mateusz Madura, the designer behind it.
On April 3, 2016, Ryan James started building with BeTheme, the WordPress theme by Muffin Group. It’s where he learned to build great sites.
A theme found by a client
BeTheme came to Seahawk through a client. When Wendy Geller contracted Ryan to build her website, she had already found BeTheme, and Ryan built her site on it. He kept rolling with it, and BeTheme became the foundation for the sites that followed. Its pre-built websites, some of the most beautiful designs on Envato, showed him what a polished WordPress site could be.
Muffin Group noticed. As one of BeTheme’s most frequent buyers, Seahawk received a thank-you box of Muffin Group swag: polos, mugs, lanyards and pens.
Meeting Mateusz Madura
BeTheme also introduced Ryan to Mateusz Madura, CEO of the design studio Vision Trust. Muffin Group, which built BeTheme, contracted Mateusz to design BeTheme’s pre-built websites, the most beautiful template library of its day. Ryan later recruited Mateusz to be Seahawk’s designer for its Figma to WordPress days, when Seahawk became a leader in turning Figma designs into WordPress sites and registered FigtoWP.com and Fig2WP.com.
The first Care report
On August 16, 2017, Seahawk sent its very first Care report. The site it covered was, fittingly, built on BeTheme.
