1 Column Wordpress Theme

Anyone uses one column theme before?
Say, I have multiple products to sell and instead of creating a separate
static page for each product, is this one column theme a good alternative?

Thought it could be good as it's still using the Wordpress platform and with all the automatic pinging etc., is this better than a static website?

  • Why don't you create separate dynamic pages for each product but make the product information sticky?

    • How do I do that? You mean adding page from the Wordpress dashboard and leave the link on the home page?

      Hm..know nothing about CSS ...
  • It's certainly easier to use wordpress than static pages. I have created a lot of one column wordpress themes which i use for some of my products. If you know some HTML/CSS it's not that hard to convert a 2 column theme to a 1 column theme.
  • We just had this discussion over on the 1Kaday forum. Andrew Seltz, the GotoGuy (he is probably on this forum somewhere) has created a one-page salesletter page for Wordpress. Good looking stuff.

    I will try to find the link and post it here.

    Also, I just became aware of the Theis theme, which readily suits it self to creating a number of pages with one column. It isn't free, but sure looks great.

    Let me first find the link to Andrew's Wordpress mod, and I'll post it here.

    • My 'boring memo' theme in my sig will do this. It would need a few tweaks for a salespage type design but the theme code and stylesheet are very stripped down and easy to modify even with limited PHP/HTML/CSS skills.

      Also, my 'Info Magazine' theme is a single column on top with 3 columns in the footer which can be effective too.
  • Hey, thanks in advance Mike!
  • Smashing Magazine has a few "Top Free WordPress Theme" articles you might want to check out.

    Personally, for a one-column theme I think WP Snap is a good one.

    ...and of course no discussion of wordpress themes would be complete without mention of Thesis from DIY Themes.
