The Real Pixelyzed 3.0 is Live (and Back with Headway)

Sometime last week I finally fin­ished the “real” pix­e­lyzed 3.0 redesign and switched the theme of the site back to Headway. I’m very happy to be back to Headway and will talk about it more in future posts as I truly think it’s the best WordPress theme frame­work for pro­fes­sion­als doing client sites on WordPress.
