Selecta

July 27, 2010 in Unique Wordpress Themes, Wordpress Photo Gallery Themes, Wordpress Video Theme by admin
Selecta … wow, what a stunning theme. Calls to mind a more edgy version of etsy … very indie vibe. And best of all, free. This is a theme for a wordpress run video blog or perhaps even a portfolio, if your work happens to be video/clips. It’s unclear whether you can sub the videos [...]

Wynton Magazine

June 24, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
Michael Oeser aka DER PRiNZ, whose theme Branford Magazine was, as far as I could tell, one of the earliest and most popular free magazine-style Wordpress themes, is back with another free theme, this time called Wynton Magazine. I’m digging the addition of the category-navigation sub bar, as well as the built-in advertising. The homepage [...]

Arthemia

Nicely styled theme with a few neat features, like auto image resizing, and a homepage that manages to get a lot in, but keep it organized looking. Both page and category-based-navigation (drop down menu bar and the middle menu bar), as well as a robust footer. More Info | Live Demo

Pressbox

April 8, 2008 in Wordpress Blog Themes, Wordpress Photo Gallery Themes by admin
The creators call this theme a “premium blog” and not “premium magazine” theme, but we’re including it here anyway as a robust blog or gallery/photo-heavy theme. The focus on typeface (Helvetica / Georgia / Verdana / Courier used) and reliance on images is the main draw with this very clean and modern looking theme. It’s [...]

Futurosity Magazine

April 7, 2008 in Corporate Wordpress Themes, Magazine Style Themes, Unique Wordpress Themes by admin
Beautiful and unusual Wordpress theme with a strong focus on whitespace and typeface. I see a literary magazine site or designy folk using this to showcase a portfolio. Or maybe a dictionary. The design is really what’s unique about this one; take for example the category landing page, which through just four elements — red [...]

Shifter Theme

April 7, 2008 in Corporate Wordpress Themes, Magazine Style Themes, Wordpress Blog Themes, Wordpress CMS Themes by admin
Less a fixed theme and more a theme system, Shifter allows you to change your blog width, sidebar width and configuration. It comes prepacked with 15 skins and three HP styles — “Blog”, “Blog-Portal” and “Portal”. More Info

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 [...]
