What WP theme is this site using

outwest · 12-17-2011, 08:41 PM

The Paradiso Terrestre

Is there a way to tell?

retsek · 12-17-2011, 08:54 PM

What makes you think that site is using Wordpress. It isn't.

outwest · 12-17-2011, 08:57 PM

hhmm ok what is it using
I see a lot of CSS in the source code

Use What WordPress Theme Is That?

The site you mention doesn't use WordPress (shock! horror!). It's custom HTML which could have been written with any number of editors.

Great link.

I checked a site I liked and it said it was this.

Flexibility Theme for WordPress

This looks like it is free.

A few questions:

1. Why do people put out themes for free.

2. Is there any danger in using these free themes

outwest · 12-17-2011, 10:09 PM

I do know a lot of those free themes have a lot of hidden backlinks in them, I think thats why guys put them out for "free"
those links can be removed. I can easily remove the ones in the footer

the other ones I am not so sure about

outwest · 12-17-2011, 10:11 PM

Do you guys who say this theme is a hand coded theme, think Silo can be incorporated into themes like this?

Thanks. interesting. If you or anyone else can elaborate.

Are they hard to remove? how do you remove? Does it hurt YOU in regards SEO

outwest · 12-17-2011, 10:21 PM

Interesting having contacted this web design company I can already sense some resistance
he asked me, how many pages will this site have? I said I have no idea, I want you to do the basic design layout and make the site have the wow factor, I will add as many pages later as I deem necessary for SEO

I think they are used to dealing with people who have never had a site before, who do not understand SEO, wordpress, backlinking, etc, so I think they will resist me strongly lol

If I were you I would make a separate thread
that will get many more responses than burying the question in here

yukon · 12-17-2011, 10:41 PM

That site is old school HTML, they are running old tables instead of all div tags.

Even the designers own site is running old tables.

Personally I would send the link to a Wordpress devloper that knows HTML5 & Wordpress code, If your paying for a custom theme like that don't settle for tables in the code.

Also helps If the site designer knows photoshop & make sure they give you the source files for any layered photoshop files, you'll need that anytime you want to do edits to theme images later on (year or two from now).

outwest · 12-17-2011, 10:45 PM

Thanks Yukon I am not that good at analyzing source code

I do REALLY like the look of the site but I need for it to be modern SEO friendly to the SERPS and be able to edit it myself, I think that style will go very well for my new commodity site, very classy looking

A few questions:

2. Is there any danger in using these free themes

1. Two main reasons. One is that people just like to develop a theme to give back to the WordPress community. The other main reason is to develop a free theme and have a "pro" version of the same theme that you need to pay for.

2. There are potential dangers, but if you use free themes from the WordPress repository, then you are generally safe.

Any good web designer/developer can make an exact copy of that sites layout/look in OP, only with your own images, etc...

Just make sure If your paying for a custom theme/site that the code is all up to date (no old tables, etc...), tell them you want <div> tags & HTML5 compliant source code, works for both Wordpress & HTML sites.

As far as seo, you'll just have to tell them how you want the site structured, shouldn't be a big deal for a good site/theme developer.

outwest · 12-18-2011, 01:04 AM

Thanks Yukon
you think I could do Silo structure with that layout?

Yes, but that site in OP is very small (around 10 pages total).

All the links are in the header.

How large will your site be?

Also, that sites on-page seo is horrible I just noticed all their internal links are hidden inside frames & javascript in the header.

Lol, look at their Google Cache (nothing):

The Paradiso Terrestre

[edit]
I would never hire the folks that built that site, poor html code & zero seo.

The look is good, but looks won't rank a page in the SERPs.

Hire someone else to get the look of that site + onpage seo.

outwest · 12-18-2011, 01:49 AM

Ya lol the SEO does suck
My site may be about 40 -100 pages, its for a specialty coffee
it may not be that many pages though , just depends

I would go with Wordpress then, easy to scale up quickly. Plus it has thousands of free plugins for just about everything.

outwest · 12-18-2011, 03:43 AM

Yes but Yukon, you cant get that visual effect with WP? or you can?

I actually may not want to mimic that site
I may want just a native In traditional dress holding some coffee in a basket in a frame that borders the site
and then to her right are buttons that light up that navigate the site

not sure if that fits with any good SEO strategies or Silo structure though

interesting discussion though, definitely off the beaten path

thailanddave · 12-24-2011, 02:56 PM

It would not be hard to duplicate that site in wordpress. pretty minor css stuff even with last years twentyten theme. If you can't or dont want to do it yourself, put it up on elance and see what kind of bids you get. You'll get some bids up in the thousands but I bet you can get it done for less than $50.

Anything you do with html, you can do with Wordpress.

A lot of Wordpress themes start from a basic html template, even new themes Photoshop > html > Wordpress.

That gets the web designer two clients (html + Wordpress) with just a little extra work.
