Smashingly Good Free Magazine Theme for WordPress
On Friday I promised to create some free SEO focused website templates for WordPress. The is the first in the series, a three column magazine layout style theme which you can use to power your business, community organization or church.
The header artwork comes from Smashing Magazine. They also provided the icons, but not the great tiling background that I came across a few weeks ago. The template design has been tested in WordPress 2.6 on Safari and FireFox as well as Internet Explorer. I’ve depended a lot on a series of article by Nathan Rice on Search Engine Optimization for WordPress as well as a few SEO articles of my own.
Some of the features of this design include:
- Widget ready
- Search Engine Optimized
- Gravatar ready
- Optimized Titles
- Optimized Keywords using Tags
- Optimized Page Descriptions
- Double Post Protected
You’re welcome to download the theme for free.
If you like this theme but would like to have it customized or installed for you, why not contact me? I’m available for WordPress consulting, theme customization and freelance development.
So what do you think? Tell me how you’d like to see me improve this template for future versions.
Update: October 18th – I’ve just added a dark version of this theme as well.
Update: October 20th – I’ve just added a the next theme in this theory.
