Offline Wordpress Theme

by Jon Paella
6 replies
I'm looking for a good Offline Wordpress Theme for small businesses/freelancers. I understand that many of such place the focus on the call to action and the simplicity. The rational is that you want a good CTR and the simpler it is, the less distraction. That's true.

However, there are some businesses where if it's too simple or dull, it reflects on the business too and some potential customers want to see something a bit more classy. For some businesses too, you want to show that side.

There's probably a bit of a tension here. But I'm trying to find a good theme that incorporates both that simplicity and focus on CTA, and yet is classy and elegant enough (e.g. can display sliders and is overall well designed) to impress the client too that this is the person I want to call.

So far, I haven't seen any WSO offline WP themes like that. Does anyone have any to recommend? Is there one theme that you constantly use?

Thanks.

    First thing I would recommend... do not buy a theme from a WSO. WP theme developement is an intricate dance and only highly specialized pros can get all the elements right. There are plenty of good themes and frameworks that lend themselves to customization. Thesis is a good one and so is catalyst. They both allow you to have a simple site and you can add lots of customization easily. You will likely have to have more than one theme as it is hard to find a one size fits all. Themeforest.net has some good themes, you need to go through them but there is some great talent selling their wares there.. and prices are very reasonable.. Elegant themes is another membership site with some very nice themes and at a very reasonable cost.

    Good luck!

    IMNewbie,

    Thanks for your response. I have Thesis themes but for most of my websites that need a classy look, I always go to Themeforest. I like Themeforest themes a lot. And I know WSO themes are probably not as flexible or of as high a quality as those found in Themeforest. However, they do have the CTA in mind.

    I guess I'm looking for something that has both the look and CTA in mind. Do you have any to recommend from Themeforest or elegant themes? For Thesis, I've found that hey are simple, but I feel (may be wrnog) that if you're looking to get a site up that can say compare to those good ones in Themeforest, you need to do a bit of customization and programming - Themeforest themes are pretty solid the way they are.

    Many ThemeForest themes are great. I use a ton of them for various projects with complete satisfaction. Just browse by rating or sales in the category you like, and pick one that appeals to you. Use the live preview feature to get the real feel for it. Hard to go wrong.

    Falideas, Your theme looks pretty good. It's one of the better designed themes with CTA in mind. I'm not sure how functionalities stack up with other themes like those from Themeforest.

    Have you done other themes?
