Theme Review » Gazette Edition
The Gazette Edition WordPress Theme
First impressions of The Gazette Edition from WooThemes have me thinking it might be the most sophisticated design yet. A very clean and streamlined starting point allows for the ultimate value in terms of displaying content in a professional manor. This is a great theme for a number of different people including newspapers, publications, and review sites.
Unique Features of the Gazette
The unique features that are included with The Gazette edition even further solidify my thoughts that this might be one of the best yet from WooThemes. Here are a few:
- When it comes to class, no other theme beats the gorgeous MooTools featured slider that can add a great professional look to your homepage.
- The theme provides you with several homepage layouts to distinguish your blog or magazine from others and from one another. This is also helpful for making sure that your homepage has the look and feel that it should for your specific content.
- A featured scroller is something that not many other comparable themes provide and has been very desirable for many WordPress users.
- Lavalamp jQuery animation provides gorgeous top navigation that isn’t matched by many other themes.
Other Features, Standard in Woothemes
Many of the standard features that have made WooThemes as popular as they are have also been integrated into The Gazette Edition.
- When it comes to creating thumbnails and featured images quickly you will love the Automatic Image Resizer.
- Integrated Theme Options for WordPress to customize color schemes and page layout.
- A built- in video panel will allow you to take advantage of web based flash videos.
- Built-in gravatar support for comments and authors
- Custom page templates for image gallery, sitemap, and archives
- Integrated Banner Management scripts allow you to quickly and easily take advantage of displaying randomized ads throughout your site.
- Fully widgetized sidebars are something that has become a standard and this theme definitely live up to your needs for widget capabilities.
- Stylish dropdown navigation is something that you will appreciate if you have never had access to this feature as it seems to make any site feel and look much more professional.
Why Use The Gazette Edition?
The Gazette Edition is one of the most professional looking themes that are available and it is quickly becoming the number one choice of so many WordPress users. Although it has a publication feel, it has also proven to be extremely versatile, as many have used it for their blog as an alternative to themes that don’t fit the feel they are looking for. Some magazine and newspaper layouts tend to feel and look the same as one another.
However The Gazette Edition certainly corrects this issue by providing the multiple layout options that allow you to really give your site a personal feel rather than looking like every other site that used the theme.
