AutoTheme is an HTML Theme System for many of the leading open source Content Management Systems (CMS), eCommerce shopping carts and Blog software. The current theme systems usually requires you to be somewhat familiar with PHP and the application architecture. If you are not very familiar with PHP and/or your application system, AutoTheme removes this complexity.

AutoTheme's primary benefit is providing users the ability to create themes in HTML using their favorite editor, with no use of PHP, as well as the availability of thousands of free and commercial themes for AutoTheme. In addition, AutoTheme provides easy customization of every part of your site; including block display, custom templates for the Home Page, User Pages and Admin Pages and individual modules and pages.

The addition of AutoBlocks provides unlimited locations for your blocks. All AutoTheme settings are easily configured from a graphical administration interface.

AutoTheme 1.X is the cream of the crop and will be the theme system that receives the most development and support energy. AutoTheme 1.X provides enhanced features over AT-Lite, such as full page caching, WYSIWYG HTML editor, premium support and many Extras (plug-ins).

There are no functional differences. The only difference is in the licensing.

All new minor versions (1.71, 1.8, etc...) will be free of charge to those who purchased earlier revisions of that version. Any major versions (2.0, 3.0, etc...) will be very deeply discounted (normally 50%) for those who purchased the previous version.

We definitely want to keep the purchasers happy and make sure they aren't spending money frequently for upgrades. Any and all bug fixes, patches or revisions to maintain compatibility with new versions of most platforms will always be free of charge.

Yes, AutoTheme 1.7 can import AT-Lite .6, .7, .8 and AutoTheme 1.0 themes. Make sure to read the import instructions in the docs.

No. The licenses are platform specific. We suggest that you evaluate your platform options prior to purchasing AutoTheme.

All AutoTheme themes are compatible with AutoTheme on ANY of the supported platforms. Native themes/templates on the various platform will continue to work with AutoTheme installed, however the original/native themes will not take advantage of the features of AutoTheme.
