Hi Paul, I'm still deliberating on that, but WP blog, testimonials, dynamic menus / search / product sorting will definitely be included.
I'm designing from scratch, it will be
Bootstrap 4 based and designed with a 'mobile first' approach. It'll be based on Platinum v4.7.5 so should support most of the default modules.
Above all else it needs to be fast and SEO friendly, so I'll be including only what's necessary and what I feel improves user experience. 'Less is more', if you like.
Other possibles are infinite scrolling (as long as it's SEO friendly) and quick product views, though can't promise anything. Still early stages at the moment, will hopefully have an alpha demo ready next month.
reBOOT's kind of a Swiss army knife, whereas the new template will be more of a trusty pen knife

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, feel free to drop me a line.
