Best WP Themes is now even better
Since Best WP Themes launched in 2007, it’s sported a slightly modified free WordPress theme. The presentation was lean, clean and, well, a little mean.
From today, the site features a purpose-built design, created by the incomparable Sam Brown from Massive Blue.
The goal of the new design was to maintain a minimalist aesthetic, while creating a more professional look and feel, and making it easier and more pleasurable to explore the featured themes.
Apart from the more professional look and feel across the site, improvements added alongside the new design include:
- Clear promotion of new featured items at the top of the front page. This is a place to showcase the “best of” collections Best WP Themes has put together. We’re looking to add more of these from now on.
- Clearer navigation, allowing easier access to the best WordPress themes on the planet.
- New premium theme categories make it much easier to find particular types of paid themes, such as photo galleries, blog themes and magazine themes.
- Improved tag pages, providing a much more useful way to browse the Best WP Themes archives.
- New Top 10 lists for free and premium themes. This may be a controversial addition, but I’m going out on a limb and choosing what I think are the top 10 WordPress themes in circulation for both free and paid themes. The selections are based on my personal taste, and to some degree on what themes prove popular with Best WP Themes visitors.
You may have noticed that new additions to our collection of themes have been few and far between recently. Now the new design is up and running, this should change dramatically.
Your feedback is welcome. Feel free to let us know about any glitches in the new design. Sam and I will be trying to stamp these out in the next few days.
