What does your web site say about you when you’re not around?

Intense

September 26, 2008 on 10:29 am | In black, dark, fixed width, header image, two columns, white | No comments

screen shot of IntenseIntense was designed by Sadish Bala of WP Themepark, based on a design by sofaspud. Sadish’s designs tend to work well across browsers and screen resolutions. Intense adds a interesting twist – the header images change when the page is reloaded. You can use the images as presented, or you can have a set of your own images. It’s an ideal theme to use to convey strong, yet changing visual dimensions.

A theme for all occasions – charitable organisations, community groups, conference organisers, e-news, jewelers, street artists, rock bands, musicians, bed and breakfasts, small hotels, embroiderers, designers, creative agencies, sculptor, neon artist, confectioners, travelers, travel agencies … choose ‘intense’ from Themeleon – our wound-up theme shifter.

M

September 13, 2008 on 10:25 am | In beige, fixed width, pastel, three columns, warm colors | No comments

screen shot of MHow James Bond-y is that? A theme named ‘M’ by Aruz. This theme has seven column spaces, and more features built in, with more options than a swiss army knife. To achieve the same functionality a more mainstream theme would require substantial customisation. With M, it’s ready done, right out of the box.

M’s adaptability and soft colours suggest a theme for conference organisers, community groups, charitable organisations, educators, teachers, philatelists, cartographers, scholars, not-for-profits, churches, hospice, healers, day spas, retreats, meditation, geologists … choose ‘m’ from Themeleon – our ‘also comes with a useful tool to take stones out of horse’s hooves’ theme shifter.

Zip It

August 29, 2008 on 7:10 pm | In gray, light, three columns, two columns, white, yellow | No comments

screen shot of Zip ItZip It is another theme by the prolific designer, Small Potato.

The delicious buttery yellow reminds us of all those old National Geographics stacked up in attics and garages across the world. Tidy, but never bland, and with a clarity of the type usually reserved for better quality magzines. Zip It, we love it.

We’re thinking apairists, cartographers, conference organisers, geographers, magazine shops, photographers, travelers, wildlife artists … choose ‘zip-it’ from Themeleon – our zippy theme shifter.

Limit

August 15, 2008 on 3:28 am | In blue, custom header, fixed width, four columns, gray, header image, simple, three columns | No comments

screen shot of LimitLimit was designed by Jai Nischal Verma. It’s a simple and elegant, lightweight theme (which means it loads quickly, not that the theme is feeble in any way), and the sidebar allows for two columns – effectively a four column design. The rounded corners and reflection at the foot of the page reduce any impression of severity. Nice. The image of the horses can be replaced with one of yours as part of the customization.

Limit is likely to appeal to people wanting clear communication – community groups, conference organisers, charitable organisations, accountants, architects, engineers, lawyers, investment brokers, insurance. Choose ‘limit’ from Themeleon – our happy theme shifter.

WordPress Default

August 2, 2008 on 2:35 am | In blue, custom header, fixed width, light, two columns, white | No comments

It's _the_ defaultThe default WordPress theme is based on the famous Kubrick – the theme designed and built by Michael Heilemann; the theme that launched 1,000 themes. Often themes based on Kubrick still maintain the distinctive hallmark – the lists use the double right quotes » as bullets.

The header can be edited so instead of having just the crisp nautical blue and white you can have colours (and graduated colours at that) to beat the band. The header can also be replaced with an image. Here’s one we prepared earlier – note how we used the signature » bullets. Seems almost an in-joke so we figured, sure, why not?

Kubrick is frequently used by people who really want to be clear – not quite ‘just the facts, ma’am’ because Kubrick’s graduated colours and rounded corners make for a more human approach – however the almost Scandinavian, IKEA-ish, no-nonsense design is great for conveying information. While Kubrick is the vanilla ice-cream of the web world, you can change the header and juice it up to suit. Conference organisers, community groups, charitable organisations … most any business where communicating written information is a priority. Choose ‘default’ from Themeleon – our happy theme shifter – and experience the cool crispness of Kubrick.
