Hi Everyone!

My friend wants to create a new WP site that has a lot of videos and pictures. She's looking for a theme that is simple to operate but flashy and attractive with the media. This is her first blog and she doesn't have the resources to have it custom made.

Ideas on themes?

Thank you!!!

Jen

    Send her to themegrade.com

    Theme Grade is a theme catalog that offers organized and pre-qualified WordPress themes. Up to this date they show over 2,000 free and paid themes from 366 theme providers (the vast majority is free).

    So this is not just another show case of a single theme provider or a rather small list of what the respective author thinks is eye candy. Here you get the big picture.

    Themes are organized and searchable by various criteria as free or paid, theme structure (number of columns, ads ready, magazine style) and category (travel, business, entertainment).

    The themes are also pre-qualified in terms of general coding standards and in terms of SEO suitability. According to the evaluation the themes are awarded Bronze, Silver and Gold status. On the detail page of each theme you find a comprehensive review and all the test results.

    Making more than 2,000 tested and reviewed WordPress themes sortable and searchable the way they do is already a great job. Keeping the promise to add fresh meat every day (and I've been watching for over 2 years now) is simply amazing and it's become my one-stop solution for inspiration... and of course to pick up themes.

    I really like Thesis Theme from DIY themes. Here is some examples on what you can make there:

    Thesis Gallery Showcase

    It's a paid theme but I thing it's worth the money as it is very easy to costumize:
    Upload header
    Upload favicon
    Change color
    Allow comments etc.

    Here is somebody reviewing it. Look how easy to costum things:

    WordPress Made Easy: Thesis Review

    And there is "feature box" where you can put in some pictures, which change when you are using the site.

    I bought the multilicense version. It's a bit expensive, but it's worth the money x 10. The theme is updated often. I think it's the best Wordpress theme ever. Free themes have so many limitations; You get what you pay for!

    You might want to recommend the "eVid" theme from the Elegant themes.

    Check this site as well, WordPress Themes | Joomla Themes - TemplateSOLD you can find lots of good themes there that might fit to her needs.

    Lastly, themeforest themes are among the best themes ever created.

    Hope that helps!

    Sincerely,

    well I would search for portfolio, photoghrapher or video blogs or even magazine style themes. I have no special recommendation cause theres way too much out there. but technically I suggest using a CDN (content delivery network) for hosting your images and videos. I ve seen too many blogs on standard hosting that were going slower and slower till over 90 % bounce rate. My recommendation for CDN is amazon s3 for images and youtube for videos cause you will have some extra marketing channel there. good luck!
