Visualization

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
This minimalist theme takes a pyramid approach to content display — one feature story/large image, beneath that three smaller features (with smaller images), then as the base, five thumbnail features bolstered by a big footer. The main nav menu is a bit different than many themes in that it incorporates both pages and categories (sub [...]

Gridline Magazine

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, Wordpress Blog Themes by admin
From the same maker (Graph Paper Press) as Visualization, this minimalist theme itself has a number of variations — Gridline Lite and Gridline News. This theme is similar to Visualization, except the 2nd tier of featured stories are adjacent to the main story instead of beneath them — a layout I personally prefer. The main [...]

The Unstandard

April 7, 2008 in Unique Wordpress Themes, Wordpress Photo Gallery Themes by admin
Beautiful theme. Definitely in the design-y camp and probably less for those who are interested in a text-heavy site. But I see applications of this including a recipe site, an agency website, or perhaps a travel site — anything where a visual representation of the information would have more of an impact. Unique features: LOVE [...]

Wordpress Magazine

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
Free Wordpress theme with page-based navigation (dropdown menus) with a category-list in the right-hand sidebar. The HP is 3-column while article pages are 2-column. With built-in advertising. Live Demo | More Info

Mimbo

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
One of the first magazine-style Wordpress themes that I came across, and judging from the comments, hugely popular. Maybe because it’s free, or maybe because it’s a great starting off point. Those of you looking for pre-built top-menu category-based navigation, (admittedly, a very specific thing), will have to look elsewhere. Mimbo’s top navigation menu is [...]

Revolution News

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes, Wordpress CMS Themes by admin
The Revolution Wordpress Theme series (comes in different flavors, Revolution Magazine, Revolution Tech, Revolutions Sports, etc) is a nice jumping off point for anyone interested in content-rich sites. Standard mag-style features include two-tiered top-nav: page-based for the first tier and category-based for the 2nd tier (with subcategory drop downs). Touches which distinguish this theme from [...]

WP Magazine Theme 1.0

April 7, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
This Wordpress theme by Solostream offers critical magazine-style features with some emphasis on community. A big check to my #1 must-have — a category-based nav — as well as a large and potentially auto-scrolling main feature. But prominent too is the “most popular”/comments/tags/etc block on the HP; recent comments and gravatars get play as well. [...]

Mimbo Pro

April 7, 2008 in Corporate Wordpress Themes, Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
What I like about this paid theme is the great job it does showcasing a lot of content very effectively. The HP manages to squeeze in 13+ article options (1 main well, 5 recent stories, 4 secondary stories with image (in slider), and then 3 more articles (with 3 links each!), yet maintains a clean [...]
