EXCELLENT html theme + builder – and the builder is the first I’ve ever used that just works and in all browsers. It’s just brilliant, absolutely well done.
Now if you guys want to build an html email editor on this platform, I will be your first customer.
“Meetup” looks great too. My payday is rapidly become your payday!
Thanks for purchasing! Really stoked to hear that comment too, our goal has always been to make a builder that truly improves workflow. We haven’t thought too much about an email editor as yet, but it’s something to consider.
Thanks again for your lovely feedback and for being an awesome customer 
Great theme! I have finished the index page via variant and after modifying the custom css. Now, how do I develop the following pages with the menu and footer synchronized in all?
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing! If you’re planning to create more pages in Variant you can use your saved navigation and footers (you will be prompted to save your nav and footer when you make any change in it, like changing menu text etc). Then you can start a new page and select your presaved nav from the ‘navigation’ dropdown, same for footer
Hopefully this makes sense, if I’m on the wrong track let me know
Craig
thank you, ... but if I have ten or twenty pages completed and I want to add a menu item, I must to correct one by one?
Hey there,
Yes that’s correct, given that this is an HTML template you’ll need to add the navigation onto each page, there is no CMS like functionality that covers it.
Thanks. I tried to cut the menu code and save it in a file _menu.php and calling from pages where it was the menu with a <?php include(‘_menu.php’)?>, and then, renaming pages .html with .php, it seems works. So, when you update a menu item one time in _menu.php, it is updated on all pages. I think the same works with footer. Do you think this is a good solution?
That is the best solution, yes and that’s what we would do but Themeforest requires that we have it in HTML because we can’t assume all our customers have a PHP enabled server.

Answered above
- 1.) There seems to be a serious issue with latest SAFARI browser: All context “right-click” menus do not work properly. They appear for a millisecond and close immediately! It is impossible to select an option. Any clue?
- 2.) You seem to offer a Template/Editor bundle. Does it mean I have to use Variant with that Template only? May I extend the included “Elements”?
- 3.) May I create my own Site Template and Elements? Maybe even sell/bundle it with Variant?
- 4.) Is there any documentation for Users & Developers?
Hello? Would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
Hello, not sure how your comment slipped through 27 days ago – sorry I am just getting to replying now!
The right-click issue affects all browsers with Mac trackpads – just enable “Secondary Click” via two-finger click or bottom-right click on the trackpad under “trackpad” in your Mac System settings.
Each template that is sold with Variant included, is closely tied to that particular version/copy of Variant and while we do not offer support for adding your own sections, it is possible to do through editing builder.html.
We do not condone the reselling of Variant or our templates. The license allows use of the Foundry design for one end product created for either yourself or one client. In other words, one website/domain using Foundry = one standard license. You may not create your own item from Foundry and bundle it with Variant or resell either in any way.
Documentation for users and developers is included in the package when you download the purchased package. Also available online at http://foundry.mediumra.re/docs/foundry_docs/index.html
Let us know if there is anything else you need to know
Cheers, James
NP. Thanks for getting back to my “lost” comment 
1.) Context / Right Click menu issue. Thanks for the headsup about TrackPad. Does it have the same issues with the Apple Touch mouse? Most of the time, I use a WACOM tablet. The usual CTRL+Click does not work. Do you have any suggestion for it, too?
3.) Just to clarify, there is no separate Variant Editor purchase? Or some kind of extended license to bundle Variant with my own product?! (Sorry, I can’t recall it, but I have read something similar… maybe on your homepage)
Thanks in advance.
Regarding the WACOM Tablet usage: Solved it. It seems I have to assign the “Right Mouse Click” to one of the Pen’s buttons, or Tablet’s ExpressKeys. Didn’t know there is a difference to the usual CTRL keyboard method?!
1.) Solved. I have to assign the special “Right Mouse Click” option to a Pen’s button or the Tablet’s ExpressKeys! Always thought it is treated the same way as CTRL + click ?! You never stop learning.
Thanks for updating! Good to know! We don’t get too many customers using Wacom pens as input devices so this is a new one for us 
Cheers, James
20 years with too tiny Apple and 3rd-party Mice screamed for a change. Much better for hand and wrist!!!
What about 3.) and clarification.
You are free to use Foundry and Variant how you like, if you obey the main rule of the license: for each end product that uses any part of Foundry, a valid license must be purchased. We can not support you in making extra blocks or customising Variant, so what you do there is up to you. Just please make sure you purchase a license for each end product that makes use of Foundry, whether it be building your own website, or one that you build for a client. You may not package up Variant and sell the package as that would violate the terms of purchase. At this time there is no license that would permit the reselling or on-selling of Foundry or Variant and there is no white label or developer version available at this time.
Hope this clears it up

Definitely going to get this for a future project. It’s really beautiful! Code looks solid too. I would love a Wordpress version for implementing with the blog, so I look forward to that
Thanks for the compliment! There will be a WordPress version coming soon – so stay tuned for that also
How i can install this theme on my wordpress site?
Hi there,
Foundry is not a WordPress theme, but an HTML template. This mens it requires some knowledge of HTML and CSS for you to customize and implement. There will be a WordPress version of Foundry coming in the near future.
Thanks, Craig
where can i change the width of the dropdown menu?
Hey there,
Thanks for purchasing!
You can do this in your custom.css file by targetting:
.menu > li ul{ width: ###px; }
The default setting is 200px, so you can adjust up or down from there as you need
a great pack of Elements in the demo site. how can we use them in our sites?
Hey there,
Thanks for purchasing!
You can either use Variant to build your page with premade content blocks, or you can copy in individual elements from the elements pages via copy and paste.
If you’d like to use a combination, you could build your page with Variant and then add the additional elements via copy / paste afterward.
Does this help?
Thanks, Craig
not sure about the “copy in individual elements from the elements pages via copy and paste”. Care to shoot a quick jing screenshot? Thanx in advance
Hi, I´m planing to buy “Foundry”, but I need to apply a center menu like in “Somnus” is this possible?, can you help me?. By the way. Nice work!!!
Hey there,
Yes there is a center navigation menu, you can see it in the ‘Navigation’ dropdown in Variant
The demos show a cart..does this have a commerce function to it?
No.
Foundry is an HTML template, so there are no php files supplied that can run a cart system. If you have a cart system already, you can use Foundry’s cart page designs as the front end for that system but the adaptation is handled by you. We simply provide the design.
As soon as I delete smooth-scroll.min.js the background-image-holder is not displaying an image. I dont want smooth-scroll cause it conflicts with my site. How can I use the template without smooth-scroll.min.js? I need a fix for this.
I sent you a ticket.
Thanks. In short, the removal of smooth scroll.min.js causes a JavaScript error, which breaks the background image holders. If you remove that file, you also need to remove the reference to smooth scroll in the scripts.js file.
Your ticket will be handled also.
James
Hello, Do you have a release date for Versioned in Wordpress?
Greetings.
Hey there,
Not as yet, still a little early to say
Hi,
great looking template, but I can’t figure out how to link the menu entries to the different sections of the page so that I can click on a menu item and scroll down to the selected section.
Please consult the Variant documentation on how to use Variant to rename a section and then choose the section from the drop-down.
If you need to do this without using Variant, please open a ticket on mediumrare.ticksy.com
Oh wow, that’s ridiculously easy. Thanks!
No problem
good result!
Thanks
pre purchase query i want to create my own custom pages thought your variant platform. i just want to know when i will export the page which format they will come to me .html, css , JavaScript ? or only variant format.
Any page created in Variant is exportable in HTML or in .variant. HTML is the finished product and cannot be re-imported to Variant later. HTML files are editable as normal in a text editor. .variant files are a saved Variant page format and can be re-imported back into Variant whenever you need.
