Hold on to your seats ladies and gentlemen, here comes the WordPress theme Visual available at ThemeForest.net. This theme is one of the most dynamically edited WordPress layouts to display more as a CMS than a blogging app.
The back end is simplified and does not have a complicated back end admin panel to adding or editing content. The theme does have a couple requirements in order to work:
- Visual uses TimThumb for automatically generating all the thumbnails. TimThumb requires the GD library, which is available on any host sever with PHP 4 .3+ installed. NOTE : Images need to be on your own server.
- You might need Museo 700 in order to properly edit the PSD files provided with the theme.
The feature list as per the designer:
- Three built in color schemes and and a very flexible skinning system that allows you to create your own skins, while keeping the layout intact. And you can do it in under 5 min!
- Very clean and simple artice carousel, allowing you to bring back some of your favorite articles or the articles you really want your users to read.
- Easy way to edit the categories that should be part of the main menu, the category blocks featured on the homepage as well as the posts that should show up in the Featured Articles section.
- Smart scripting that prevents duplicate article links, ensuring more of your content will be featured on the homepage.
- Two widget ready sidebars (one for the main category pages, one for the single pages and archive pages), as well as customization for WP-Polls and FlickrRSS.
- Clever visual navigation inside the single article page and thumbnail integration for the archive pages, both ensuring more page views.
- sIFR implemented for block and widget titles, for an even nicer look and feel
- You get all the main design source files (6 files), both in PSD and in layered PNG (I personally use Fireworks)
