LS = LightSpeed, X = Framework

Origin story
LSX is a minimal WordPress theme that is fast and responsive. LightSpeed has been working with WordPress since 2007. In 2014 we developed our free WordPress theme, which was accepted to the WordPress.org repo in that same year. The LSX name derives as follows – LS = LightSpeed and X = Framework.
On a mission
Publishing open source software and working with the WordPress community, has challenged us to never stop learning, to push ourselves to produce the best product possible, and helped us to know how to provide the best support to users.
