When trying to create a fun and exciting website, it’s not a bad idea to look for options with lots of colors. Whether you’re generating a site for kids, creatives or a business website that you’d like to seem more playful, you have plenty of options to choose from in terms of colorful WordPress themes.
Travel agencies have all different types of styles. For example, some of them cater to mainly professional sports teams and large corporations that don’t have the time to book all the traveling that’s going on. Others are more focused on building long, expensive trips for smaller groups, where the people are going on obscure adventures, like safaris in Africa.
A non-profit is always on the hunt for deals, considering these organizations are designed to bring in money for certain causes, as opposed to raking in millions of dollars for investors. With this type of business plan one can assume that cutting costs is a constant part of running a non-profit, since the more money you save, the more of it can be contributed to others in need.
Residents of towns and municipalities are constantly seeking out government websites to figure out information like environmental policies, drivers license details, campaign finance options and more. However, the average person probably doesn’t think at all about government websites…until they absolutely need them. Well, it turns out thousands of people need these websites each day, so it’s essential for government organizations to connect with the people they serve.
When putting together an architecture website, there are a few things you need to pay attention to. For instance, an eye-catching layout is a must. But, it shouldn’t get in the way of the designs being featured. So, a portfolio layout is helpful with plenty of whitespace, too. Creating this look from scratch can be daunting, so WordPress themes for architects are a solid choice.
A WordPress cafe theme could cover lots of industries, but it mainly focuses on restaurants, cafes, bistros and any type of business that serves coffee or food. Therefore, you have several options to choose from when looking for a solid cafe theme.
In the fitness industry, the customers and clients are what make you money, and it all comes down to the community you surround yourself with. Whether you run a gym, sell supplements or run a blog with personal training tips and techniques, building an online presence is key, forcing you to understand the intricacies of areas like SEO, web design, and more. And fitness WordPress themes can help with all of that.

Way back in 2005, Scott Schuman’s street style blog, The Sartorialist, rocked the blogosphere and launched a slew of location-specific fashion blogs. Everyone wanted to start one, including us (yours truly had a Portland Street Style blog at the time).
Since then, the fashion blog industry has taken the web world by storm, with top bloggers becoming brands in and of themselves and making well over $1 million a year from affiliates, product placements, social media marketing and more, according to a recent article from Fast Company. There’s no magic behind what these people are doing – they all start with the same tools: a laptop, a website template, and some zany idea that maybe, just maybe, they can make it. With a little luck and a lot of persistence, many of them succeed beyond what they ever thought possible. So how can you cash in on the internet fashion market? Read on for how to start a fashion blog.
When Kendall and I were planning our wedding in 2010, we wanted to provide our friends and family a website to visit where they could find the wedding schedule, maps, photos, and our registration. We were looking for a website that was simple and elegant. It needed to offer basic features like an RSVP form, and we had to be able to update it easily as plans for the event changed.
At the time, the options were pretty limited, so Kendall ended up creating something from scratch. It was beautiful and perfectly matched our wedding’s aesthetic, but the process opened our eyes to how difficult making a wedding website could be for someone outside the web development world.
Thankfully, over the following years, all that has changed and there are now a variety of wonderful ways to create wedding websites and hundreds of beautiful templates to choose from. In this article, we are going to work through how to make a wedding website with WordPress using one of the beautiful WordPress themes in the collection below.
We’ve helped many small businesses set up websites over the last decade – it’s one of the first concrete steps most businesses take to create a public presence. Typically, the process begins with purchasing a domain name and (far too often) setting up email using an email server provided by the host. Unfortunately, this leaves your business email open to the fluctuations and downtime of the hosting provider.
Notable news happens fast in the world of WordPress, and it’s important to keep on top of the latest goings-ons with WordPress news, web development, security and the rest. But where do you start making sense of all the news and of which blogs are worth reading? Here, we give you a list of our favorite WordPress news resources – the ones you can trust to bring you relevant, up-to-date important headlines on all the latest happenings in WordPress.
Kendall and I have been building WordPress-based websites for clients since 2008 through our web-services business Shea Media. In 2008, our enterprise consisted of two laptops, a couple notepads, coffee, and a lot of adrenaline. Since then, we’ve immersed ourselves in everything WordPress and have built a business that we’re extremely proud of with a collection of dedicated and loyal clients and now hundreds of thousands of theme users. We attribute our success to three things:
Quality: We’ve never taken our eyes off the ultimate goal, which is to provide the client with a final website that they are proud of. This means creating carefully crafted websites with clean code and beautiful designs.
Professionalism: From day one, we made a commitment to pick up every phone call we could and never put off until tomorrow a hard conversation the we could resolve for a client today. This translates into quality of service and makes for happy customers.
Consistency: You don’t have to be the best at everything to give great service to consumers of your service. Not everyone can develop the next Facebook platform, but if you’re honest with your clients about what you can deliver, and reliably and consistently deliver on that, you’ll be doing far better than most of your competition.

Last week, Nimbus Themes closed our first-ever giveaway contest. We are happy to announce that Miles Linklater of 24pt. Helvetica was the lucky winner of a 1-year ALL ACCESS Nimbus membership. This gives him access to all our WordPress themes and those to come in the next year, along with a year’s worth of updates and support.
We had the opportunity to get to know Mr. Linklater and his work, and we would like to showcase a bit for you today. Miles’ story is a great example of how to combine one’s interests and skill set into a satisfying profession. How’d he do it? Read on for more…
Need some vintage country photos for your next project and can’t get out of the city? We’ve got you covered!
This royalty-free, filter-friendly stock photography set features some beat-up, rusty cars, a boat graveyard, a doorway that’s seen better days, and a forgotten tree in the distance of a golden wheat field. It’s nature. It’s American, through and through.
Occasionally, a Nimbus Themes member will submit a support ticket about the way our themes display titles on blog posts or pages that don’t have the title field populated. Often these requests boil down to hiding the title entirely, so in this post we’re going to explore the logic behind our approach to these edge cases and how to hide the title if that’s your ultimate aim.
Recently, I’ve received several support requests regarding the get_template_part() function from agencies developing child themes based on a Nimbus Theme.
There seems to be confusion about how this function works and why we’ve chosen to implement it in our themes. This post will look at what this important function offers and how it simplifies and enhances WordPress theme architecture.
Technology has transformed the concept of the remote office. We haven’t been able to make the leap yet into complete, primarily because of our dependence on high-speed internet and our huge desktop workstation setup, but the guy in this image seems to have the right idea.
Continuing in our free stock photography series, this photo bundle is all about boating and life at the marina. While Evan and I dream of someday having a sailboat, a trip down to the marina when visiting his hometown provides a little snapshot of the maritime culture, enough to go on for now. The thought of days spent reading books, toes dipped into pristine water with the catamaran bobbing somewhere in the Caribbean doesn’t sound like a half-bad retirement (that is, of course, sans the insane depreciation, continual upkeep and maintenance, cabin fever that’s bound to happen sooner or later, isolation and creepy pirates). 😉
