Tipz Theme Released

Admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:14:17 +0000

We wanted a good strong theme that could fit a wide variety of topics for Tipz, which mainly writes how-to articles among various other topics. The front page has an easy to use “feature” section so you can easily put on display your most in-depth posts. You can even slot in a nice picture and a post excerpt to accompany the headline by editing the feature-image custom field and setting the category to “Featured”. We always like our rounded corners, which give the theme a simple Web 2.0 feel.

The theme is fully widgetized. A special feature of this theme as we use in many of our themes is the logo changer. You can use the default WordPress setting (“blog name”) or you can use your own logo. Upload your logo in the root folder of Tipz theme and name it logo.png or you can use the logo.psd as a template. You will find the source in the root folder of the Tipz theme..

Compositio – WordPress Theme

Admin — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 01:59:18 +0000

We have finally done it! After a long time, we are releasing a brand new theme called Compositio. As some of you know, we name our themes based on Latin. Compositio is a two column theme, made to for those who want to put their content at the front with a unique light blue design. Random square shapes are the defining graphics of this theme. They are used throughout the background, bringing a special rhythm to the theme.

A special feature of this theme is the logo changer. ( Thanks to Munzir Rosdi). You can use the default WordPress setting (“blog name”) or you can use your own logo. Upload your logo in the root folder of Compositio theme and name it logo.png. You can also use the PSD Logo Template in the source folder of Compositio Theme. (Image limitations: No more than 590px/85px).

If you want to activate this option go to: Administration Panel > Appearance > Logo Options, and select logo type.

The theme is widget ready so you can use it as you like. Also we customized the CSS for the default widgets to match the site style better.

The theme is using a few plugins, with some already integrated into functions.php, so there is no need to install them. The only plugin you need to install manually is FlickrRSS. (FlickrRSS plugin is in the theme folder) (see the demo).

New Blog Design for HostGator.com

jacob — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 03:14:23 +0000

I’m very happy to announce the release of a new set of themes designed by Elena of the Design Disease team. This set was designed for Hostgator Web Hosting and she spent a great deal of time perfecting the theme to provide a nice, professional, look. The results, I think, are a stunning blog design that is both visually pleasing, and very effective for a variety of different blog types.

The set includes four variations of one main theme, combining different color schemes to ceate new effects for each separate blog design. The three column design features varying widths to allow the user to maximize the content and ad placement on the page.

The first column is wide enough to publish all popular web content from simple posts to complex video and embed-able flash widgets. The second column is wide enough to support popular square advertisements – or even some web video players on its own. The third column is smaller, and a perfect match for skyscraper and other popular sized text ad links.

The main graphic can be customized by adding your own image to give your blog a unique identity, and the simple, easy to read style of the site will have visitors returning to your site daily.

Hostgator is a high quality, top tier web host, and all of us at the Design Disease team are very happy to have worked with them on this project. If you’d like to download any of the four theme variations for your blog, click here to get them now.

TOP.ORG

Admin — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:52:57 +0000

An old friend of mine came to me a few weeks ago, asking for a simple design for his new site – TOP.ORG

I was happy enough with the design (and he really loved the logo too) that I decided to join the Web design & graphics section. Maybe a few others can join and we can have a friendly competition (and the site has a lot of categories to choose from).
