Layout
Layout of the website is what matters the most, and it depends upon the nature of the website.

Thesis Theme has an option to switch between 3-column, 2-column or 1-column. Below is a screenshot which shows the layout selection in Thesis Theme.
Typography
Fonts play a vital role in presentation of the content on website. Thesis Theme has variety of options to enhance and customize Typography of a blog. There are a lot of fonts, comprising the Gothic, Typewriter, Old english style etc… We can also vary the different fonts in different parts of the website, for instance assigning Arial to Navigation Menu, Georgia to Post Title and Verdana to Body content. Below is a screenshot for selecting the fonts in thesis theme.
Scripts
Everyone of us are aware of JavaScript and jQuery codes which enhances the usability of the websites. There is a drawback of using these scripts as they take time to load in browser depending upon the network and system. Usually scripts snippets were added in header which on parsing by browser increases load time of the website. Yet another benefit of Thesis Theme is that it allows you add scripts in a preferred position, so that it doesn’t affect the page load time. Refer to the screenshot below:
Miscellaneous

Thesis Theme has a multimedia box widget for sidebar, which can embed video player, image sideshow or any other multimedia content. It also has a custom code option in the list, which can add any code snippet likely a flash or a Javascript. Refer the screenshot below:
