The Vision of the Future

As I thought the youngster has a vision for the future. He really is enjoying being given virtually free rein on my garden. I really don’t mind as he is making it incredibly beautiful. His experiments are my gain. I really could not hire a horticulturalist to do a better job. I think he is testing the water so to speak by tackling me bit by bit. Overall at the back of his mind I am pretty sure he has worked the whole garden out. I told him though leave my vegetables alone. He suggested we surround the vegetable area with a hedge of herbs, which sounded rather nice. So although I said leave it alone that’s what we are going to tackle next.

We, however, are going to go to business today with another of Simon’s themes.

Simon Rinkus has a very good eye for design and style as well

deVision is a vision for the future if you are thinking of doing a new theme for your WordPress website. It comes in 4 color ways being green, red, grey and blue. You can also enable your visitor to choose the color they would like to see.

When you log into the site you can see a slider displaying either your content of your photographs or a video. You do have the facility of turning this off if you so wish. It does make a nice splash when you enter and movement always catches the eye. You can fade the image or make the scroll either vertically or horizontally. There is an incredible amount of options for you to use with the slider. Your slider function can be enabled to link to images or videos, or you can have it available to show your posts.

Your home page is fully customizable with all your info such as you logo and your slogan. These will be able to be tagged, and you can place a description of your products as well as your company in this section.

The home page can have widgets. You can even put them in a customized box in the Featured area. Should you want a list of pages, you will find that is simple. Buttons are available to use short code. Recent posts will also feature in this area.

And of course as always with Simons work, Thumbnails are part and parcel of the theme. These can be set as small, medium or large. The shape of the thumbnail does alter with the different choices. He has made a ribbon which can be customized to go with the images. A rather neat idea if you want to add a name to each image. This theme also has support for an advanced widget area. A variety of options are available for you to incorporate these. There is a huge range of widgets to choose from and the advanced range is worthy of a good look. Sections of widget areas will only display static pages.

Well, folks that’s all for today. I am off to buy some herbs for a hedge.

WordPress, as you are no doubt aware, has exploded in popularity over a very small space of time. It has become a business in its own right, with developers selling themes at every opportunity, and coming up with ever more daring, imaginative and practical designs. And why not, money is money, after all.

Despite this, there are still a lot of free wordpress themes for web design, still out there on the web. So we thought you might like to know where to find them, and have provided the links, so finding them will be easy.

For those of you unfamiliar with the blogging tool, WordPress is simply a content management system, which enables users to upload information, which is then displayed on a website.

We use it at dreamtemplate.com, and many different companies and organisations use it all the time.

The beauty of WordPress, is that it is easily customizable, and is easy to use. In short it is a bit of a dream.

When choosing your theme, try and ask yourself what kind of site you are looking to create, what you are trying to say or show, and what you want to get out of people looking at the site. It may help to try and decide how you want your blog pages to look, and then choose a theme that fits that description.

Of course, you may be looking through the themes and one will suddenly appear, and you will know that is the one.

So here are the free WordPress themes for web design, and it has to be said, they are all very good.

We hope these themes have proved useful, and you have had a eureka moment, and have chosen the right one for you. It will probably be a good idea to get people you know to give you an honest opinion on your choice, as this will give you a better idea if you are on the right track. The key here, is to ensure that you will get an honest opinion, and not an opinion from somebody trying to be nice.

Also, try not to get distracted with the “funkier” themes, as this may not be the right one for your site.

Have fun with your free WordPress themes for web design.
