WordPress Templates
Wow, more and more folks are creating wonderful WordPress Templates – that are easy to customize, too! We just re-did the look of St. Andrews Lutheran website and it only took 2 hours to get it looking like we wanted. It was already a WordPress site – all we had to do was upload the design we found, go into the Appearance features and set several options, and upload our own graphics. WordPress just keeps getting easier and easier.
Our old design was based on an earlier template I had found, too. But here’s the difference – I had to do all the customizations through the CSS and PHP files myself. That’s no problem for me, but whenever you mess with code, you have to maintain it. So, better, more customizable templates save my clients money.
Take a look at the updated site: www.standrewswichita.org. Our primary motivation for change was the previous menu was down the left hand side and had quickly grown out of control. It was difficult to find what you were looking for and difficult to keep updated. The new design has a drop down menu across the top. It looks cleaner and now it’s easy to see what’s there. Yay!
