What does your web site say about you when you’re not around?
Ocean
September 14, 2008 on 10:07 am | In blue, custom header, flexible width, two columns | No comments
Ocean was designed by Reality Software, a Toronto, Ontario (Canada) based design company. Nice. But, oh boy, check out that wave! Reminds us of those wonderful days on an isolated beach in Kauai, catching wave after wave … and afterwards, passionfruit and rum cocktails made with fruit gathered fresh from the jungle – laughing with friends and watching the sun set.
* Sigh *
Ocean is a variable (flexible) width theme, ideal for nautical applications, outdoor sports people, fishers, scuba schools, boats, surf shops, wind surfers, aquaculture … choose ‘ocean’ from Themeleon – our surf’s up theme shifter.
Fog
August 31, 2008 on 6:21 am | In background image, black, cool colors, dark, flexible width, gray, three columns | No comments
Simple and clean, Fog is three column fluid theme by miloIIIIVII with an intelligent PHP menu by The undersigned.
Fog reminds us on one hand of those Sherlock Holmes-ian ghost-y stories – Hound of the Baskervilles and all that. On the other hand we can see reading poetry from these pages – compelling haiku, perhaps zen reflections.
Far across low mist
Intermittently
The lake
Lifts a snow-white sail

Sandbox
August 10, 2008 on 12:06 am | In flexible width, light, simple, two columns, white | No comments
Sandbox? What’s Sandbox? Like everything WordPress, Sandbox is the work of a small team, Andy Skelton and Scott Allan Wallick. Here’s what they say: “The Sandbox is truly unique. It is a theme that aims to be anything and to be the best at being anything. It degrades beautifully. It embraces the best available practices in blog design.” OK, in short then, Sandbox is a theme that other people can customize.
Or leave it just as it is. Sandbox as is isn’t a theme for everyone, but it’s just great for people who appreciate the minimalist, content-is-king approach. Ideal for scientists, writers, zen aficionados, people concerned with the spiritual or religious, teachers – people focussed closely on honest, rich content, rather than the idle shim-sham of display. Choose ‘sandbox’ from Themeleon – our happy theme shifter.
Fluid2
August 9, 2008 on 9:08 pm | In dark, flexible width, gray, green, header image, red, two columns | No comments
Welcome to the Fluid2 family of fine themes, released by Kaushal Sheth. Kaushal is based in Mumbai, India. He’s found time to work on the themes while undertaking a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in field of Electronics and Telecommunication from D.J.Sanghvi College of Engineering, at the University of Mumbai.
Fluid2 is based on Dave Reeder‘s fluidity template ‘for business or fun’. There’s a full range available, so choice and flexibility is the name of the game here. First up is the three column version, choose ‘fluid2’ from Themeleon.
Fluid2ls builds on the basic design, with a single sidebar located on the left side of the screen. Choose ‘fluid2ls’ from Themeleon.
Fluid2rs also uses the same design, however the single sidebar is located on the right side of the screen. Choose ‘fluid2rs’ from Themeleon, you know the drill – our happy theme shifter.
Kaushal’s use of dark grays, electric blue, and acid green make this a family of themes look quite vibrant, and the italic font really adds to the impression of action – things moving and changing.
The header image can be refined to suit your application, including using random images to really spark up your site. We can see this dynamic family of themes being used by educators, electricians, electronics service, environmentalists, gamers, magazine shops, outdoor sports people, photographers, street artists – for people not afraid of strong images and strong colour. We’re looking forward to white water rafting or mountain biking sites in particular.
01-Dragee
August 4, 2008 on 2:57 am | In blue, flexible width, header image, light, neutral colors, pastel, two columns | No comments
A dragée (pronounced dra-ZHAY) is a classy name for a sugar covered chocolate candy. You know, like ‘M&Ms’. In this instance, 01-Dragee is Julian jez Klewe’s rather sweet theme. According to his web profile, C. Julian jez Klewes is a 23 year old student from Germany. Living in Kempen, near by Düsseldorf, he studies International Business and Management Studies at Fontys in Venlo, the Netherlands. In the past years he published different kinds of work on the web and did freelance designing, as well as consulting and researching.
01-Dragee is used here ‘straight out of the box’ and some of the images are not always playing nicely with the text. They will play nicely on your web site. If you like the layout but want to use your own image (instead of the dragée) in the center that’s easy to change. We think 01-Dragee would be great for pharmacists, sweet shops, bed and breakfasts (B&B), small hotels, for people in the hospitality, medical, or education businesses – looking for crisp and cool concepts. Choose ‘01-dragee’ from Themeleon – our happy theme shifter – and see how sweet it is.
WordPress Classic
August 1, 2008 on 5:38 am | In flexible width, gray, light, neutral colors, two columns, white | No comments
WordPress Classic is the original WordPress theme. It graced versions 1.2.x and prior. WordPress has come a long way since Dave Shea designed, and Matthew Mullenweg modified, this clean and elegant layout. Only the barest minimum has been defined – the useful variable width, two columns, and neutral gray colours. Of course, the colours can be refined to create your very own classic. We’re tempted by those Morris Minor colours – imagine (from 1948 to 1953) Platinum Grey, Romain Green, Black, Maroon, Mist Green, Gascoyne Grey, Thames Blue, Clarendon Grey, Empire Green, Birch Grey, and from later, Sage Green, Smokey Blue, Rose Taupe, Antelope, Pale Ivory, and Sandy Beige. Colours that defined a generation, a nation, an empire.
We see the WordPress Classic theme being used by people seeking a sophisticated and classic air – where their work can be complemented by neutral (but never bland) tones. Jewelers, book binders, designers, embroiderers, fine food purveyors, writers, therapists, lawyers, accountants… the list goes on. Choose ‘classic’ from Themeleon – our happy theme shifter – and see how to add a classic touch to your web communications – and as ever – adapting the design to your business cards, signage, and other communication forms is an option.
