When Facebook burst onto the national scene and stopped being the exclusive domain of college undergraduates, its biggest selling point (and the attribute that helped propel its phenomenal success) was a clean, straightforward design.
A far cry from the cluttered, disorganized social profiles of the earliest years of the 21st Century, Facebook’s first priority was simplicity and readability. Now, thanks to some fanboy designers, you can adapt that same aesthetic for your WordPress site.

10 Minimalist WP Themes for Maximum Inspiration
posted by Linc Wonham @ 12:00 PM
Thursday, May 31, 2012
While the concept of minimalism in Web design is taking a relatively long road to the mainstream, there’s no question that some of history’s greatest minds would have been outspoken advocates. Many, in fact, already were centuries before the Web was born.
Leonardo da Vinci: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Albert Einstein: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: “The supreme excellence is simplicity.”
There are dozens more, but the simple fact is that the minimalist principles of Web design are neither new nor fleeting. These powerful designs can lay the foundation for enormously successful Web properties, so we’ve selected 10 minimalist WordPress themes to provide inspiration.
Perfect for artists that want to showcase their portfolios. Not fond of minimalism? Then Classica is the perfect blank canvas just waiting to be customized.
Core
Another minimalist photography, portfolio, personal website template built with the latest WordPress features.
Dreamy Clean
Comes with extensive and fast support, 12 color skins and unlimited skin variations, 10 custom page templates, 8 different sliders, 30+ Web fonts support and much more.
Evolution
A fully responsive design that will adapt to various screen sizes.
Feather
A simple, subdued design that is still stylistic.
Gridlocked
A grid-based, post-format supporting, layout-shuffling, minimalistic theme for creatives. It is both a classic portfolio for showcasing your work and a modern tumblr-style blogging system.
A stylish and modern minimalist theme with a beautiful image gallery slider and an optional blog view. With support for post formats, audio and video playback, ideal for showcasing photography portfolios or podcasting but also great for everyday blogging.
Nova
A sharp, simplistic design that makes for an intuitive user experience. Nova’s biggest strength is its homepage, which allows you to organize your content into two areas.
Sundance
Despite its minimalist design, Sundance was crafted with clean, elegant typography and close attention to detail. The home page offers a featured video carousel. It supports the video post format, widgets, custom background, custom header, custom menus and a custom link feature for your social media pages.
Sky
Loads all of your content seamlessly using ajax, meaning that no matter how many pages you have in the slider, your initial page-load speed will be lightning fast.

Custom Post Types and Page Templates in TemplateMonster WordPress 3.x Themes
posted by Edward Korcheg @ 12:57 AM
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
Last week we have announced the release of our WordPress 3.x themes. One of the major features they include is the ability for website owners to create and edit custom post types and page templates. This was actually one of trump cards that fortified WordPress’ positions in the CMS comparison chart. WordPress was often criticized for weak content system and the lack of flexibility in general (as we know WordPress is considered to be a blogging platform which is why it was pretty complicated to customize it for classical static business websites). So now this problem is fixed, and our new WordPress themes are perfectly compatible with this new feature and include some predefined custom post types and page templates.
So let’s get back now to these features. First of all, it very important to understand the meaning of the following terms: posts, pages, custom posts types and page templates. Without it it would be hard to comprehend all advantages and even the main point of implementing these new features.
- Post is a default content type which is related to the blogging sphere. Usually blog posts are displayed in reverse sequential order by time (newest posts come first).
- Page is a default content type that used for the static pages. Pages are for non-blog content. For example the default set of WordPress pages contains Home Page, About Us and maybe Contact Us pages. Actually you can remove all posts from a WordPress installation and by this you’ll achieve a standard non-blog static website.
- Page Template is a functional feature of our WordPress 3.x themes which allows you to change the page layout, number of columns, move siderbar etc.
- Custom Post Type is another functional feature that is tightly connected with Page templates. This option allows you to manage website’s content which is not typical for blogging post types. For example with the help of Posts section at the dashboard you can create separate pages for portfolio page items, edit content of the slider on your pages and so on. Custom post types can be the elements that page templates contain (e.g. every individual testimonial in a testimonials page template is built with testimonials post type) or may be used independently.
Now we will show you some interesting examples of the custom post types and page templates in our new WordPress 3.x themes. By the way if you want to see them in action – just click the live demo of the WordPress theme and play with its features ad lib. Here are some examples of page templates and custom post types.

New Features in WordPress 3.x Themes on TemplateMonster
posted by Edward Korcheg @ 12:50 AM
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
As you may have noticed recently our product line was enriched with WordPress 3.x themes. Despite the fact that it may seem just another piece of boring corporate news we must state the significant importance of this milestone – both for our company and our dear clients. It is not a secret that WordPress themes are an insanely popular product. So, it is not that simple to satisfy the growing needs of our customers with every new update of the WordPress CMS. But we are always open to hear the voice of our people and improve our products and services according to your needs.
WordPress CMS is famous for unique combination of reliable and highly functional back-end software which is spiced up with the ability to add extra features by installing widgets, plugins and other “delicious” stuff. And that’s the reason WordPress CMS is considered to be the most user-friendly software – even the newbies can master WordPress within the short period of time. Now that all ceremonies are over we can go straight to our topic. Below you’ll find the detailed information concerning the functional improvement of our WordPress 3.x themes.
Custom Post Types
Creating various types of posts is one of the greatest features that opens many great opportunities for WordPress users. Currently you can use the custom post types in our WordPress 3.x themes too. Here is the list of all possible post type options:
- Portfolio Post Type is the post type that delivers content in the form of image portfolio with some text comments to the images.
- Slider Post Type is another image related option that presents all your post content in the dynamic slider with navigation buttons and short text info.
- Testimonials Post Type lets you set up custom fields for this type of post, such as testimonial name, testimonial URL, set up featured image etc.
- Services Post Type
- FAQs Post Type allows to create a special post where content will be displayed in the ‘question – answer’ form as it is usually done on the FAQ pages.
Page Templates
This exact option offers you adding page templates that have various design characteristics. These pages have different number of columns, layout, sidebar absence etc. Here is a short info concerning each of our page templates.
- Full Width Page is a page template with one column and without any sidebar positions.
- About Page is a page template with one column and without any sidebar elements.
- Testimonials Page has custom styled design created by our designers specifically for displaying testimonials posts.
- FAQs Page template is a full-width page without any sidebar created for displaying FAQ information.
- Portfolio Page has 1, 2, 3 and 4 columns view layout enhanced with Prettyphoto jQuery plugin.
Custom Widgets
The WordPress widgets presence is another functional goodie that is quite popular among WordPress fans. That’s why we’ve decided to include some popular widgets to our themes, such as Recent Comments, Popular Posts, Social Networks and others.
50+ shortcodes
WordPress Shortcodes were introduced in WordPress 2.5. Basically a shortcode is a simple set of functions for creating macro codes that you can use in post content. For example, you can add a photo gallery into the page by adding one of the codes to the blog posts. Our themes support over 50 various short codes including tag clouds, audio/video embedding, popular posts, last comments and so on.
jQuery Plugins
From now on all our WordPress 3.x themes are equipped with a set of superb plugins powered by jQuery. You can enable any of this plugins in the proper section of the dashboard. The following plugins will help you display image content in a more spectacular and efficient manner. Here is a short description for each plugin that you may find at our new WordPress themes.
- jQuery Cycle is a slideshow plugin that supports pause-on-hover, auto-stop, auto-fit, before/after callbacks, click triggers and other transition effects.
- jQuery PrettyPhoto is a lightbox clone plugin that supports images, videos, Flash etc. It is highly compatible with all major browsers (it has support even for IE6!).
- jQuery NivoSlider is a small but efficient slider plugin that supports more than 16 various transition effects to display images on your website.
Native WordPress Plugins
We are glad to inform you that there are more surprises waiting for you inside of each WordPress 3.x theme. Our themes are armed not only with jQuery plugins but also with some native WordPress plugins that might be extremely useful for any web project.
- WP-PageNavi is a pagination plugin that adds navigation button numbers for every page that you have on your website. It is a highly usable and simple WordPress plugin.
- WP-Contact Form 7 is a simple contact form plugin that delivers reliable and user-friendly tool for receiving users’ feedback instantly.
Google Webfonts
I’m sure that you’ve heard about Google Web Fonts library. So, this plugin allows you to embed all fonts from this library into your website seamlessly.
Multi Level Dropdown Menu
From now on all our WordPress 3.x themes will have navigation enhanced with multilevel dropdown menu which is widely used in web design these days. This feature will make your website more user-friendly and navigation-wise.
Cross Browser Compatible
All our themes are compatible with major web browsers (including IE7) which means that your website will be properly displayed for all your visitors.
PSDs included
As always, all our design products are supplied with PSD files. You can easily improve them by making any changes you want.
Well Documented Themes
Each and every WordPress 3.x theme will be shipped to you with a comprehensive manual where you can find all information about the installation process, theme’s functional features and other stuff that would help you to set up all the things without any problems.

Multi-author blogging is not that much of a big deal these days because WordPress 3.x technically supplied us with this great function. There are many brands and projects that use the system of multiple authors on their WordPress-powered websites including such famous websites as Mashable, Techcrunch and others.

5 Most Exciting New Features of WordPress 3.3
posted by Edward Korcheg @ 2:41 AM
Friday, November 25, 2011
Good news, everyone! There is no doubt that many of you, our fellow WordPress users, have heard that the major update of WordPress is coming – WordPress ver. 3.3. Yes, the current release doesn’t have such significant meaning comparing to what WordPress 3.0 was, but still it does have few very important features that cause huge impact on both simple users and WordPress developers. It means that WordPress team is planning to improve their product’s user experience for all categories of users. Now that’s that we call a smart content management system. Also, seeing our favorite CMS evolving is really a pleasant thing to do. Now if we get back to its latest release the first thing that stands out is a well-defined visual improvement of the dashboard. Also some major changes have been made in the under-the-hood sector which is primarily interesting for WordPress developers.
By the way, we’ve tested our WordPress 3.x themes with this new version of a platform and they’re perfectly compatible. Truly a match made in heaven. Now back to those new features.
We’ve collected five of most interesting (according to our opinion) new features that have been presented in WordPress 3.3 and we are going to share them with you. So, if you haven’t updated your WordPress version maybe this list will convince you to do that.
- Responsive Layout: while mobile web design sets new rules of the game, WordPress developers are trying to stay in touch with it. Version 3.3 has major support for the responsive layout (the full support will be realized in version 3.4). So far the left side menu bar will collapse on small screens. This is a first step in making your WordPress website more mobile friendly.
- Improved Media Uploader: WordPress said no to Flash uploader and now it utilizes HTML5 and Silverlight technology. Now you can easily use drag-n-drop technology to upload PDF, graphics and other files right from the desktop or any folder. This is a long-anticipated feature because Flash uploader was quite buggy and often users were switching to the older browser uploader which allowed to upload only one file at one time.
- Major Dashoboard Improvement: now you can use enhanced Help section, enjoy new tooltips, flyout menues and redesigned admin bar. All of these are visual and functional innovations that are involved to simplify admin panel and make it more user friendly. Also these improvements allow WP theme and plugins developers to create their own tours by using new tooltips.
- WordPress API Editor: starting from version 3.3 plugin develoeprs are able to customize the post editor or even add additional editors. This awesome feature opens many great opportunities for WordPress developers.
- jQuery Package: well, based on an exponentially growing popularity of jQuery tools, WordPress has decided to simplify the life of WP developers by including such default feature as a presence of full jQuery UI toolset in the installation file. Now WordPress developers are supplied with the full package of useful tools.
Well, that’s all for today, folks. We sincerely hope that our post will be that guiding light that would lead you to taking a right decision and installing new WordPress 3.3 version on your website. We wish you to have an awesome Black Friday and an even better weekend. Take care!
