Many people think that premium WordPress themes cannot do anything for them
and then proceed to spend time and money creating a theme that had already
been created and offered as a premium theme. It's important before even
considering creating a new theme to know what other themes have already been
designed that could be modified slightly for your use.
Premium themes cover a large gamut of layout options and design styles that
will appeal to the majority of users and which can be used as the basis for
other layouts and designs.
Although there are several common layouts, the majority of the layouts fall
in to just one or two categories: division by columns and division by rows.
These layouts divide the content in a way that saves portions of the screen
for navigation, content, and other important information with columns
dividing the content horizontally and rows dividing it vertically.
One of the most common layout styles is a two-column layout. This layout
generally has the navigation bar in a smaller column to the left-most or
right-most side of the panel and which utilizes a larger central area of the
screen to display the content. Don't let the simplicity fool you, though -
this layout is capable of achieving beautiful things with simple
modifications. A great example of this layout can be found in the "Graphix"
theme. Though obscured by a small picture gallery between the top-most
navigation and the central content, you can see the division of the two
columns. This layout is suited for any content.
Another common and classic style is the double-or-triple row style, which
puts all of the content in the center of the screen below a navigation bar
with no need to scroll.
This design is most commonly used for artistic websites and can also be
commonly found on websites that center around one specific topic. An example
of this is the "Web Studio" theme, which uses a triple-row with the center
row displaying the content, the top row as the navigation bar, and the
bottom row for the copyright. A slight modification to any premium WordPress
themes using this kind of layout may allow you to use the bottom row for
navigation, freeing the top row for other content.
These are just two of the most common designs and two themes which have
modified the common designs to do something more. However, what many people
do not know is that premium themes do not have to look the way they are
displayed; the truth is that many customization options are available in
every theme and that there are many ways to easily modify a theme using the
standard WordPress interface in order get the exact behavior that you want
or the exact look that you need for your WordpPess-powered website. Knowing
that, do you still think that premium WordPress themes can do nothing for
you or your website?
my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."
