Elemental Theme

November 2, 2009 in Wordpress CMS Themes by admin
By the creator of Mimbo Pro, the Elemental framework is well thought out and a good choice for a content-heavy website. The homepage retains a typical blog format, however, unlike Mimbo Pro – one main story is featured, with posts organized chronologically. I almost prefer the category pages, where snippets of posts are listed. The [...]

Mortar Theme

November 2, 2009 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
The Mortar wordpress theme strikes me as pretty flexible, though its not as content-heavy on first glance. It’s more of a traditional blog theme, except arranged to look much more visually striking. For instance, the homepage posts appear to be in chronological order, but because the posts have thumbnails and are staggered, you don’t think [...]

Papercut

November 11, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
A place for everything and everything in its place. This Wordpress theme does a nice job of bridging the gap between a blog and a full-blown magazine-style site. The look has a lot of personality, some might say on the crafty/feminine side, which could either be a great thing or a bad thing depending on [...]

Open Air Theme

November 11, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes by admin
An elegant and appropriately named magazine-style theme (that also comes with an alternate more bloggy template) from the folks over at WooThemes. Category-style navigation is nice, but the top menu (with image gallery etc) is implemented cleanly. Downsides: a little too much white-space for my liking. Upsides: image & video gallery. More image-oriented instead of [...]

Live Wire 2.0 / Style / Edition

April 6, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
Overall, I think the Live Wire series does a good job of presenting a lot of information with balance. Critical items like category and page-based navigation are taken care of (though I would prefer that colored portion of the menus highlight the categories rather than the pages). I love that they all come equipped with [...]

News Press

April 6, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
NewsPress defies the logic that columns must be differently sized. The theme manages to present two columns of equal width on the HP and it works well. I also like that the featured stories on the HP are not just the latest stories but the latest story by category. A++ for that. Not a huge [...]

Flash News

April 6, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, Wordpress CMS Themes by admin
Among all of PremiumNewsTheme’s themes (See the Live Wire series, for example), I’ve got a soft spot for Flash News. I like the auto scrolling main feature (which runs a touch too fast, but that can be changed), I like the look-and-feel, and I really like how the two nav menus are separated. I also [...]

Gazette Edition

April 6, 2008 in Magazine Style Themes, News Website Themes by admin
No, the screenshot you are looking at is not CNN. Can’t tell whether it’s the font, the red or something else, but this theme certainly lives up to its name. Gazette is a solid mag-style (or should I say, news-style) theme in a three-column HP design, with some standout features, such as the arresting auto-scroll [...]
