Rainbow Feather
Every now and then you will find a theme that really stands out in front of the rest of the templates that are available out there and makes a real impression on the readers and the general marketplace as a whole. Rainbow Feather is one such WordPress template. It has the feather the title refers to in the header, and then that is pretty much it as regards the graphical impact of this template. It is initially hard to understand whereabouts this particular theme could fit into a blogger’s catalogue of templates, but then it becomes quite clear that the difference it so obviously has is a real advantage.
Rainbow Feather is four columns in size, and this is one of its strengths. The template could quite easily be quickly utilised by any store or blogger who wants to monetise their blog and needs to have something that is quite commonly called a review site. This is where the blogger reviews affiliate products, and thereby gets the readership to click on affiliate links and therefore make a purchase.
This template is perfectly suited for this particular usage. It has a great interface, and lots of widget potential. A great template.
Emerald City
Every now and then a WordPress Theme comes along that kind of defies any kind of definition or categorisation. This is because a designer has tried to establish their position in the blogosphere and have something online and available to bloggers that is incredibly exciting and allows for the maximum as regards functionality. If this is achieved with some kind of unique artistic credibility, then all the better. However, this is not always the case, and many designers find themselves coming up with some designs that, while they may look good, are not very useful to the very bloggers they are trying to attract.
Emerald City is a WordPress template that tries to buck this trend, and does a very good job of it, in fact. This is because the header really gets the attention of the readers, but rather than rely just on this, which some people could call a gimmick, the template then goes on to reveal some more treasures.
It is a three column template, which means you have the ultimate in functionality too. You can install widgets on the template, which means that you have an opportunity to not only look good, but be functional too.
Alpha News
The trend for high quality magazine and newspaper templates for bloggers continues apace. The need for these types of templates is very real, especially when bloggers are now faced with an internet environment where they cannot get any kind of leverage or market share with a simple blog set up where they have maybe one or two columns in their templates that they use. This means that there are many designers out there right now that make it part of their rationale to produce a number of templates that have at least four columns involved in them, with the added bonus that they have a great magazine style layout.
One such WordPress theme is Alpha News. This template has a great look to it, and one can imagine it gracing the sites of a major newspaper or news site that has current ad regular content as part of its main attraction points to its readers. It is for this reason that the WordPress template really has an amazing impact, you can utilise the large amount of columns to include a number of widgets as well as a massive amount of ads and newsfeeds. A great and very important looking template.
Shopping Mall
If you have an online retailing site, then there is every chance you have been frustrated with the lack of good templates that are out there for your needs. There are a number of eBay Power sellers, for example, who need a great front-end that allows them to connect with their customer base. The problem is that there are no real perfect solutions. You can have a great product, but if your front-end is not attractive and usable enough, then you will lose the initial impact that your online store desperately needs.
However, now and then some great templates come along. One such WordPress Theme that really works hard to get your attention as an online customer is Shopping Mall. This WordPress template has a real classy shopping mall feel to it. It is an attractive template, to say the least. The template is three column, which makes it not only attractive to visitors, but also very functional. You can do pretty much anything you want with a three column template, because they offer two sidebars. These give you plenty of space for widgets, which makes the readers more welcome, as they can be greeted with a more custom experience.
Tech Blog
When the Web 2.0 movement happened, many bloggers jumped on the bandwagon immediately, hoping to buy into some of the profit that the big Californian firms were making, by creating blogs that professed to offer some tech insight or news based content. Many of these blogs lasted about six months and then died down, due to the fact that having a great blog relies on a number of factors, one of these being great impact when the reader first visits.
So having a great WordPress Theme like Tech Blog can really help the bloggers. Readers want great visual impact, and the header to this WordPress template does not disappoint in this regard. Great vibrant colours abound, and the visitor is left in no doubt that their particular template means business, pure and simple.
There is an image of a computer screen in the header with an explosion of colour around it. This is really effective and gives the template a great, modern feel. The template also has another ace up its sleeve in the form of a great sidebar.
If any blog niche needs a great sidebar than the tech niche is it. Fully widget compliant, it offers great functionality.
Easter
When Easter comes around, there is one sector in retail that is perfectly poised to take advantage of that particular holiday season. Confectioners and other sweet traders have a great time in this spring holiday. There is a WordPress template that perfectly suits this time of year, and that is the one that is conveniently known as Easter.
Easter is a fairly self-descriptive WordPress Theme. The header is bright and colourful, with the Easter colour of yellow very predominant. Bunny rabbits abound underneath a blue sky, and there are plenty of daisies to grab your attention.
Then you find that there is also a fully widget friendly sidebar that has all of the functionality that you could possibly want if you are a blogger. If you are a store that has a blog and you want to get across the Easter special offers that you may have, this is the space in which you can do that. Float a few graphics here, or some units that talk about the discounts tat you are offering, or even just a fancy unit that shows opening times. Whatever you decide, there is a widget that will help you do it. A great theme.
Amazing Grace
There are some truly elegant and beautiful looking templates out there for bloggers, but occasionally a WordPress Theme comes along that is truly breathtaking. Amazing Grace is a WordPress template that is quite glorious to look at. It has a beautiful image on the top right of the header area, which shows a sunset lit scene that is both calming and striking. Even though this is only a small picture, the effect is considerable. This could easily be a great template for a travel company. But the good stuff doesn’t stop there. There is a lot of functionality here too.
The WordPress template is a three column template. This means it has two sidebars. These sidebars hold the key to incredible functionality. You can add great number of widgets to your blog through these two sidebars. Widgets really transform your blog into something special. You could quite easily enter a ton of great content and clickable buttons and therefore make your blog not only much more readable, but much more entertaining too.
This is a great WordPress Theme, and is probably best suited to a travel themed blog. However it has so much functionality, it could pretty much become anything.
Black Vivi
The WordPress Theme Black Vivi is perhaps one of the most immediately effective black templates you will ever see. Black may not be the warmest colour on the Internet, but it certainly makes an impact up here.
This three column template is optimized to the maximum when it comes to sidebars. It has two, which makes it highly effective when it comes to widgets. Widgets make a blog special, and the way this works is that widgets allow bloggers to create boxes and units on their blog. These boxes and units can be filled with buttons and other extras that make your blog extra valuable to the readers who choose to visit.
The black colour scheme would definitely work very well when used with a tech blog, for example. These kinds of blogs rely on the darker of the colours that are available on the Internet. Having Black Vivi as your WordPress template would definitely make it a noticeable blog.
The header is the key to the success of this template. It is extremely clean and simple, offering only the blog title, and pretty much nothing else. This template is highly effective for the blogger who wants to stay minimal.
Speedway
The world of blogging on automotive issues and trends has become big business recently. Many blogging writers who know something about the automotive industry are finding that it is easy to set up a blog, produce valuable content, and receive readers who are anxious to know more about the events and trends in their industry.
There are a number of templates that are available if you want to produce a blog on automotive industry topics. One WordPress Theme that fits into this niche quite easily is Speedway. In fact, it is almost perfectly matched. It has, in the header, an image of some gears, a picture that is linked to anything automotive.
The WordPress template comes with two columns, so it is simple enough for the beginner, and practical enough for the seasoned blogger. The template also has a fully functional sidebar that allows the blogger to include a lot of functionality for the benefit of their readers. This is very important, in that it allows readers to get a lot more fun out of the blog.
This is also backed up by a cool and relevant colour scheme. The colours of orange, black and graphite match the subject perfectly.
Pure
The trend towards very simple and minimalist themes continues apace. Pure is one such WordPress Theme, and continues the move towards creating templates that are so minimal that they could almost be non-existent.
This is a two column template. This is by far the most common layout for a WordPress template, and ideally suits the beginner. Not having too many columns makes it a lot easier for the beginner to manage their content. Any more than two and you literally have to find something to place into the extra spaces. This takes some imagination and hard work if you are new to blogging. More seasoned bloggers love the two column style too, due to the fact that it is uncomplicated.
The template also has a very dynamic sidebar. This sidebar allows for integration of widgets, which means that the blogger can easily include any number of buttons or boxes for readers to get involved in, which allow for more of an involving experience for readers.
Visuals wise, the header of the theme is very striking, with a line of wispy clouds running from left to right. This fits in with the ideas that the word ‘pure’ evokes. A great template.
