Creating your own WordPress Theme can involve a lot of time and effort. Thankfully a lot of good WordPress Theme Frameworks can help you to start quicker with a good base.

Some of the WordPress frameworks are loaded with advanced features like:

  • Search engine optimisation
  • Validated CSS, XHTML and support of the accessibility guidelines
  • Widget ready
  • Enabling easy change of layout options for 2 or 3 column designs etc…

I came up with a list  of WordPress Frameworks that are worth looking at. Naturally-choose the one that fits your needs the best.

  • Glad to see the good stuff here now. I've subbed to the feed so I won't miss anything.

    John's comment is a good one. I almost always tweak a theme in some small way or other. I know barely enough PHP and CSS to be dangerous.
  • Is this an IE-only site? This is what I see, no list:

  • I am very sorry! It seems that I am experiencing some database issues. I am currently working on it and hope to get it all back up soon. Thanks for your patience!

    What many users of WordPress would want to know, I am sure, is how to EDIT a WordPress theme.

    You may come across a very interesting theme, but not everything there is to your liking. It could be simple things like the page margins, or the width of the column etc. Or it could be more complex stuffs like how it manages lists.

    However rather than designing your own WordPress theme from scratch, it would be far easier to take a theme which probably meets 90% of your needs and desires, and tinker yourself for the remaining 10% to make it "just right".

    I'd really appreciate if you could run a tutorial on how to edit WordPress themes.
  • Hi John. Thanks a lot for your feedback, I have taken on board your suggestions and am planning to submit tutorials around those matters. I try my best to provide information for all levels of WordPress users.
  • Sorry but there is a bug ;)

    The official release page of "Basis Theme" is currently http://wpbasis.de/readme-de_DE.php
  • My bad...I have now updated the post. Thank you very much for letting me know.
  • Where is thesis? :O
