Using the Themify Framework Panel interface, you can now easily create Hooks in a matter of a few clicks. You can use Themify’s Shortcodes to use Themify pre-existing functions such as Slider, Twitter, Map and much more.

Also, it will save you hours of time with debugging code as you won’t need to sift through lines and lines of code.
