Custom WordPress Theme Design

Sometimes I still get to do very fun WordPress themes - in between the corporate WP theme design and the people that want a clean, minimal WordPress theme I get a client or two who wants something fun and gives me a little room to create something.

That’s exactly what Jeff over at People You’ll See in Hell did, he gave me some time and creative freedom and we created something that we both liked. His dedicated audience has been decidedly positive as well.

The Heckerped WordPress theme is now stable and is available in a free creative commons attribution version as well as a licensed version for $35. This is my favorite of all of the 2 column free themes that I have done over the last few years.

Allright, maybe not your mom, but one day my mom was doing her etsy thing and she read an article that was talking about how blogs can be an excellent marketing vehicle to get more people interested in your auctions and etsy sales.

I think this prompted her to get interested in what exactly I did for a living My mom sells a ton of stuff on ebay and etsy and has her own store here on the square in our little town, and now she wants a blog - and knows at least that I do something for a living that has something to do with that word.

So one night I went over and gave her the 30 minute WordPress tutorial and she caught on rather quickly and started writing some pretty good content. She was being very patient but I could tell that she wanted the custom theme that I had promised her done because she was so excited about WordPress.

So even though I am very busy creating custom WordPress themes for paying clients, I worked her theme in - I think it turned out well.

I’ve created a new free WordPress theme, that you can download over on Sponsor This Theme - it’s called 4TheGirlz:

A few months ago I had a nice young lady named Holly write me and ask me if I could create a ree themed aimed at the younger, female, blogger demographic. At the time I was over booked and had no time and I wasn’t really sure that I could pull that look off even if I had the time.
