On this page we will be publishing a range of WordPress blog template designs which we hope will give you a starting point for ideas for your own WordPress blog design.

If you click on the screenshots of the themes that will appear below, you can see how the home page of this blog looks when presented in the selected theme.

Previews of a single page, can give you an idea of how you might like your blog to appear from a design point of view, but we are aware both that:

  • your content may well be very different

and

  • design (visual presentation) is only one of two primary considerations when planning your blog project – the other being functionality (what your blog can do)

We hope, though, that these example designs will help you in beginning to define the requirements for your blog. If you think we can be of assistance to you, needless to say, please get in touch >>

Showcase Theme 1

This theme features a two-column layout with widgets presented in the left-hand column (sidebar).

The sidebar also includes a vertical menu that links to the post categories within the blog. The number of categories in our blog is limited at the moment, but this menu can accommodate further categories – and sub-categories as drop-down options – as our blog expands.

The vertical menu, though, could just as easily have been set up to link to blog pages rather than categories. The choice is ours.

The horizontal menu in this theme, under the header graphic, links to selected key pages within the blog site.

You may find that WordPress automatically adds pages to the main menu structure as and when they are created, which could lead to a very complicated and ugly menu for 'page-heavy' blogs.

We have avoided this problem. though, by the use of a simple plug-in which allows us to define pages as menu options or not, depending on our requirements.
