Wordpress Theme - Minimalist

Author: Stefan Vervoort | Please Comment!

As I told you yesterday in the preview post, here is the second Wordpress theme by DivitoDesign. I changed a couple small things from yesterday’s version but the style and layout has remained the same. Take a look:

Wordpress Theme - Minimalist

Wordpress Theme Minimalist

Features

This theme has the following features:

  • Wordpress 2.5+ compatible
  • HTML/CSS valid
  • Tested in Firefox, Internet Explorer 6
  • Widget-ready sidebar
  • Three small images only

Small notes

  • With this theme I have gone for a simple, yet elegant look.
  • I wanted to release a theme completely focussed on the content.
  • The theme includes only three images and therefore your blog will load fast.
  • The comment section of this theme uses Gravatars. Make sure you have activated the feature via settings > discussion (Gravatars are activated by default in version 2.5+).

Demo & Download

You can view the demo of this theme in a special demo themes Wordpress installation. Take a look, test and download!

Thanks

Thanks for reading and downloading this theme. I have included a footer link back to DivitoDesign and I appriciate it if you keep leave that backlink.

    I am glad to see the post because I already have this theme on one of my blog. To be very true, I don’t know that from where I have got it.

    @The Hip Zone - Well, that’s strange. Do you think they have published it somewhere else?

    i like the simple themes for wordpress and drupal, if you look at very popular sites like the wall street journal, cnn, the onion, they are all very simple themed cms sites.

    Hi,

    Thanks for creating and sharing these themes, they look awesome, as soon I landed on your website I imeadiately loved the layout, cleanliness etc, so I just downloaded the minimalist theme,

    I could really use a 3 colum though much like your website so I was wondering if you will be considering releasing a 3 column version? or how easy it would be to add an extra column to this design?

    Thanks again, and thanks for all the great info on your site:)

    I bookmarked it, and will add a link soon as my own blog is ready

    Very nice and clean looking theme. I like the two columns - it’s not as cluttered as other multi-column themes. Thanks and keep ‘em coming.

    Sometimes a simple design is the most elegant… and fast load times is always a plus.

    how do you change the css? i would like blue instead of the red, however, changes to the code are not applying themselves.

    help?

    On really not that big on pink, but it is still a clean looking theme. It’s definitely worth downloading and modifying so you can make it work with your niche.

    How to download?

  25. Stefan Vervoort

    @tds - It is possible to do that in the style.css file inside the theme folder.

    @Erik - You are right the pink isn’t great. I just didn’t know what to do with it otherwise! :)

    @ Mark - Check this link to download: http://www.divitodesign.com/download/Wordpress+Theme+-+Minimalist
