WordPress templates for Websites

August 26, 2008

Most WordPress templates are designed for blogs. They allow standard web pages and give you the option of having a specific page as your homepage but the layout is the same on posts and pages. This means you don’t get the opportunity to create a homepage with the wow factor which showcases all your products at a glance.

StudioPress WordPress themes are built for websites.

They still have the same WordPress administration system making it easy to make your own website changes and write regular news updates. The beauty of Studi Press is that they have several different templates to choose from inside each theme allowing for more customisation and more wow factor.

See examples of homepage, news page, blog page and standard page layouts on a website I have just designed at www.sailcoolchange.co.nz.

Other great Studio Press features include:

  • YouTube video displays
  • Automatic Flickr image gallery displays
  • Featured Content Gallery
  • Feedburner E-news subscription forms
  • Great support forum
  • Widgetised homepage

Other websites I have designed recently using Studio Press templates are:

Once you are ready, you can get code to put a copy of them onto your website.

Go to GoogleDocs Homepage…

The brilliant thing is that everytime you login to Google Docs and make a change to a file, the version on your website updates automatically. [Read more]
