Smashing Magazine - we smash you with the information that will make your life easier. really.

I’d like to see a better portfolio theme with a gallery option

Don’t forget to follow KISS principle. Usability and a few clicks for needed information must be also on top. Design..pls dont’use hard colors. Keep white.

There has been a portfolio themes overload and IMHO everybody should be able to design their own portfolio if they are competing for a design job. On the other hand, all commercial Wordpress themes are really looking the same so there is a need for new creative ways of doing it.

I’m having a real challenge in front of me called a local community portal. It should be informative, attractive, colorful but still simple, carry a lot of information sorted into numerous categories, nothing that would be too fancy but please a designer’s eye as well. The challenge for me is to make it look attractive but still provide structured navigation so the users find everything important at a glance. I really like the CreativeDepart website at http://www.creativedepart.com/ and how their grid expands to the whole screen. For a community portal there is still a lot to think of in terms of scalability and navigation.

Please help… ;)

Totally agree with comment 38! An e-commerce shopping cart Wordpress themes!

Hey, it’s a really nice idea.

However, I would like to ask for a theme about technical and programing solutions.
Regarding features, its good to add a topic slide show in the sidebar with random images and titles, of course with a link(on click) to that topic. (:

I hope to get one of these awards.

AT THE END, THANK YOU (;

i’d like an elegant typographic theme :) thanks!

I’d like to see a wonderful personal theme, with magazine style.

I’d like it to be a theme with horizontal menu, kind of portfolio with great typography. And of course, I hope I win :)

Thank you!

Would have to agree with Inga, a nice clean “barebone” theme would be nice to have as a start point.

Well, having looked around and around and around (and looked at your source) what I’d REALLY like is the Smashing Magazine Wordpress theme. You have the best 3 column WP template I can find that balances content, navigation and Sponsors. Can’t you provide it as a Theme to download?

;-)

(Great site. First time I’ve come across you. Pointed out to me by a designer I was interviewing.)

I constantly refer to SM not only for free stuff but mainly the easily understandable discussions and orders for non-techies like me. Thank you so much to everyone behind this wonderfully helpful site.

I have been looking for a dynamic simple yet interesting directory theme that can list businesses, blogs and people, which can be used to link people within localities (say a county or a province), allowing them to link and network, and thus enliven their communities and economy.
Perhaps the theme can also include a “submit” page that can allow site visitors or members to add their business, blog, service people or professionals to the directory list. Some people may not have websites, so the “site” listing may be optional. But all of them have names, addresses, phone numbers.
Another feature I’d love to see, if it’s at all possible, is multilevel categories per country, state/province, county, city, district. My dream.
Thank you so much in advance.

Although I am too late for this but yes I have checked all the designs and themes. I would recommend people to use these designs for psd to wordpress projects. We can do a nice CMS website from this.

Thanks
