· Out of the box, dotCMS ships with 2 responsive, Bootstrap based themes.
· Themes can be shared within a host and across hosts.
· Themes are not tied to any CSS or JS Framework. Users can write themes that use any available HTML Frameworks.

· The Template Builder/Designer is used in conjunction with themes.
· Can use existing themes, create your own theme, or download a third party theme to create a new design template.
· The new Link Checker workflow automatically checks links in WYSIWYG content before saving it, to avoid external link errors.
· Also, there is a new portlet called Broken Links that can run an external link check on all content structures and creates a report of all broken links.
· This process can be scheduled using a cron expression, which then sends an email with the link errors found to the content editors.
