Looking For A WP Theme

16 years ago

You're going to run into some issues trying to find a theme that matches your specifications. Because the market for business and corporate style WordPress themes is totally different than blog themes. They want to showcase their portfolios, services they offer, what their company is about, how to get a hold of them, and lastly an integrated blog. That's why all business themes follow a similar format.

Since business themes tend be clean designs perhaps you'll have better luck searching for 'clean wordpress theme'.

Prosense has always struck me as a theme designed to make ads look like a part of the site and get clicks, not a legitimate business theme. You do mention that you just want to replicate its simplicity, right? If that's all, then a lot of themes can fit your guidelines. I would probably just search in wordpress and enter some of their limits and simply browse. Googling is another good option. You'd probably want to get one with custom menus built in to display your main pages, but that's almost all of them too...

Thanks

Be like most of us and spend time in Worpress and by Googling to find a theme that meets your critea and then personalize it. There are thousands out there and more being released probably nearly every day.

Am a great user of different android apps. When am free you will always find me playing android games going from one level to another. My experience from this is what I share with the world. I use these apps on my tablet, phone and PC. The whole experience is awesome and it took me to starting a tech blog.

For clean, simple, easy to maintain Wordpress themes, I recommend the 2010 theme that comes with WP 3. But wait, there's more!

The 2010 Theme supports child themes, and Wordpress Weaver has created great child themes based on the default 2010 theme. And it is free! There is a donate button, and they've got my beer money

Here is their website (but don't download the theme from their website. Install from inside Wordpress):
Twenty Ten Weaver | Wordpress Weaver

To find and install the theme from inside Wordpress, go to your dashboard, and then go to Appearance > Themes > Install Themes. Do a search for Weaver, then download and install the 2010 Weaver theme. The current version of Weaver 2010 Theme is 1.4.

After installing the theme, you will have a new menu under Appearance - 2010 Weaver. Click that.

You can change the child theme and quickly change the look and feel, and location of navigation, all with using check boxes.

Very cool.

AND you can have Weaver 2010 send you a zipped file of your configuration. Great for duplicating websites once you have the settings tweaked.

Again, very cool.

Mike D.
