I’ve got a designer working on a custom WordPress theme for this site, who’s starting tomorrow. The TypoXP Reloaded theme I’ve been using for the last 6-9 months has been a good servant, but I decided over the weekend it’s time for something new. I very quickly cobbled together some wireframes based on features on sites that I admire.
I’m still looking for ideas to incorporate in my theme. So, if you have a theme you like or a particular feature on a theme you like, then please let me know and I’ll pass it on to my designer. Alternatively, what features does this current theme lack that you’d like to see or you think it would benefit from?
I’m looking for something that is ‘web 2.0′ – clean, fresh, professional and modern looking with a good use of colours and shading. It also needs to be SEO friendly and improve or maintain my traffic and MyBlogEarnings i.e. no funky or wacky themes that have headers that push all the content below the fold.
Below are some features that I told my designer I liked:
- http://themes.performancing
.com/themes/gangway-theme-for -wordpress/ – love the colour scheme and the white spaces - http://www.writerspace.net/ – I like the top nav and the way the search engine is tightly integrated.
- http://www.sablonmarket.com/ http://www.kaushalsheth.com
/fluid-solution-wordpress -theme-released/ -like the colour scheme - http://astereostudio.com/on
/articles/one-more-for-really -good-luck-titl & http://blog.oinam.com/2006 /oinams-kiss-templates-for -movabletype-typepad-livejourna l-wordpress/ – like the title colours and the background shading - http://www.kapikua.com/theme
-leia-en/ – gorgeous colour scheme, nice use of different coloured blocks to break up sections - http://www.bloggingpro.com

Any more?
