Check out our latest theme, Noteworthy. It’s a magazine style theme with a heavy focus on the featured images, and is heavily inspired by the design of USAToday.com, infact you could call it an homage.

It supports all the usual WP features like custom menus and widgets, and also has a nice reveal/hide search box and some handy social links top of the sidebar. Couple of other things to note about this theme:

  • You must define featured images for your posts if you want an image to display on the home page or archive pages.
  • By default the home page featured article and the list of featured articles just displays the most recent posts, but the theme is coded so that you can define what exactly appears here using the built in sticky posts feature of WordPress. The latest sticky post will be the main feature with the big image while older sticky posts will be list to the right of this. That won’t be to everyone’s taste, but we did it like this because we wanted to be able to control what was featured at the top of the page. The tiled posts will always just be the latest.

UPDATE 01/03/13 – Just updated the theme with much better handling/resizing of thumbnails

download PinBlack theme

Unashamedly inspired by Pinterest, PinBlack is a new theme which is perfect for photo and product style bogs where the posts are represented on the home and archive pages as thumbnails. The theme is responsive to browser size and will adjust accordingly. Of course it also supports custom menus and all the usual core WordPress features. Posts and static pages have a right aligned sidebar.

If you like the PinBlack theme you might be interested in the custom variation we did for BoHaute.com – Hit us up if you are interested in something like this for your own site.

UPDATE 26/6/12 – An update to PinBlack was just accepted to the WordPress directory. The update fixes a problem the theme had with resizing in IE and on the iPad.

Check it out, our newest theme is designed specifically for people wanting a simple, clutter free and customizable landing page for their personal domain. It is unashamedly inspired by the neat services like About.me which allow you to create a really good looking personal landing page. Our About Me theme does much the same thing, but it is for those of use who would rather host our own domains. It also has all the usual page and post features you would expect of a WordPress theme so it is a little more versatile than the hosted services.

So what can you do with this theme?

  • Upload your own background photo, ideally something personal.
  • Use the Custom Home Page template to create an awesome landing page just like the hosted services.
  • Theme admin page let’s you customize the page headline, tagline and text color to suit the background photo.
  • Add links to your profiles on the popular social media sites.
  • Optionally set up the site with a blog and/or any other static pages you require as well.
