Then I recommend designing a free unique and stylish Wordpress theme. Not only is this a perfect opportunity to show off your web design skills, design the theme mind-blowing enough and you’ll have a great number of webmasters using it in no time.
Visitors by the thousands will flood your online portfolio in search for a hi-quality free Wordpress theme or freebie as it is also referred to. In fact, free hi-quality Wordpress themes are so hard to come by nowadays, it’s like gasoline in Mad Max, so don’t be surprised if Smashing Magazine themselves make space for your theme. This popular online web design magazine is devoted in bringing Wordpress freebies to their readers. If you theme is hot enough, they’ll surely pick it up.
Your site will also get better ranking in search engines thanks to the link you’ve included in the theme footer leading back to you the creator. More potential customers will find you site and contact info hopefully leading to more work for you.
In any case, making a Wordpress Theme of great quality and top notch web design will at least prepare you for future web design projects. Already a market has expanded around the Wordpress CMS with more and more websites using it, thus increasing the demand on unique and differentiating themes. Becoming a Wordpress Theme devoteé is entirely realistic as there are whole agencies doing it already.
Here are 2 examples of freelancing web designers who have gotten great recognition thanks to their impressive designs of free Wordpress themes:
Andrew Lindstrom, WELLMEDICATED – created free theme ZinePress that got picked up by Smashing Magazine and embraced by the Wordpress web design community.
Paul Bennett – creating the Viewport theme this web designer not only broke new web design territory with an innovative theme design, but used the good name of Wordpress to prove his skills and potential.
If you have come to this site in search of web hosting, you are on your way to a proper presence on the web. But, in order to get a website set up there are two vital components left: web design and site development. Now, the most common problem isn’t to identify them, the problem for most of us is affording them. The hardship of getting a hold of a web designer and developer does not make things easier. If you know a friend or friend of a friend who can create and design your website, good for you! But if you lack sufficient networking skills and still require a cheaper alternative to expensive and blown up web agencies, listen up! I will give a personal recommendation of a web service through which you can get a professional website done for only a couple of hundred dollars.
I have a cousin who, during her short but intense musical career, wrote a song called Che – what have you done for me lately?. This musical piece was inspired by the fact that the legend revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevarra has become a popular fahion icon, printed on cloths and worn by hundreds of thousands of people.But the reason this deceased political activist has gotten such recognition is hardly for his actions and achievements. No, the silouette of a man in a beret is simply a nice looking graphic design. At most a cool symbol of past revolutionary days.
Ever since WordPress stepped up and claimed the place as #1 CMS and website-building software, a gigantic market has been created around it. And since Wordpress always has been all about an open market, thousands of web agencies, development teams and web design freelancers have dedicated their full time on creating Wordpress extensions. Wordpress theme design for example is today an independent industry with thousands of competitors and even more themes. And based on the personal experience of spending hours online searching for the right theme for my website(s), I have decided to listen to the Samaritan within me and publish an extensive list of, in my humble opinion, most innovative and design inspirational FREE Wordpress Themes.
