Standard Theme for WordPress

by Lars on February 28, 2011

Standard Theme for WordPress

Standard Theme 2.0 for WordPress stands out in the endless supply of themes in various ways. The developer 8bit.io is not a typical WordPress Theme vendor as they are not creating one or more themes every month to a club. Instead they are focused on developing and optimizing only two themes at the moment. Each theme has it own web site and is branded as separate products. This is a unusual approach, but to me it shows the dedication 8bit.io have to make quality themes and not quantity.  Standard Theme is currently in version 2 and it shows in the features available and on the options page which is excellent. I strongly recommend that check out the Standard Theme introduction video on their site to find out how cool this theme is – or read on and I’ll give you a quick walkthrough. Before we go on let me summarize what is unique about Standard Theme – it has a clean and simple design, it easily adapts you your design needs, you can do a lot more than usually without any coding required, social media included integration rocks. This theme is great but using a WordPress simple theme is also worth considering.
