Sugar Cane
Sugar Cane is an eye-catching two-column WordPress theme with beautiful typography, great use of images and a distinctive style.
Theme author Able Parris notes that the theme’s strength “is that it makes both long and short posts look great and easy to read”, which is dead right.
Site owners can use the two built-in image classes to have large landscape images span the entire content column and to have portrait images offset alongside the posts.
For those inclined to tweak things a little and make a theme their own, it would be relatively simple to make a few changes to colours and fonts to turn Sugar Cane into your own distinctive web presence.
Sugar Cane is a child theme for the Thematic framework by Ian Stewart. As the author’s page explains: “Child themes allow you to create layouts without touching the source theme’s template files. For this theme to work, you will need to upload both Thematic and Sugar Cane to your theme directory, but only activate Sugar Cane. It’s that easy.”
