JPolite is a lightweight portal framework, built with jQuery, for creating Netvibes-like interfaces.
It is a powerful base for creating complex / customizable websites quickly.
JPolite seperates content, appearance and behavior. And, it makes turning a content module into tabbed or accordion presentations very easy.
Some examples of the ease it provides:
- A form with
class="ajaxform1 will automatically turned into an Ajaxed form.
- Any link with
class="thickbox" will be displayed in Thickbox & more.

WooThemes, which is the new face of "Premium News Themes" (premiumnewstheme.com), launched recently with some nice features.
They are a team of 4 well-known WordPress theme designers; Adii, Magnus Jepson, Mark Forrester and Elliot Jay Stocks who are about to rise the bar in premium themes market.
Rather than the famous news theme "Premium News Theme" was offering, WooThemes currently offers 10 themes and officially promises to release at least 1 new theme every month.
A new feature; "WooThemes Club" can be a good address for users who like changing themes frequently as members of the club can download every theme (and the new themes released).
In my opinion, ProudFolio, a new WordPress theme created by Elliot Jay Stocks is very unique as it is totally targeted to designers & other creative people who wants to present their portfolio and have a blog at the same time.
And Vibrant CMS is again a new theme which is business-targeted & very elegant (this is also the base theme of WooThemes).
If you’re looking for quality WordPress themes with support, WooThemes is a powerful option for that.
