Best WordPress theme for static look-alike sites!

[DonD]

Hi.

I am about to create a small WP network of about 50 sites. I really don't want these to look like blogs and am looking for an easy way to have them look like "regular static html" sites.

Mainly I am looking for WP themes (for WP 2.92) that are very easy to set up so they don't look like a blog.

Any ideas?

Regards
Don

You can use any existing WordPress theme and set a static page as front page so the blog posts won't show up.

That said, you might find these helpful:

Hi Don

If you want to make a wordpress blog like a website, instead of using Post/add new, you should be using Page/add new.

With that being said, you will need to look for a two column + left sidebar theme. Silver Dreams theme might be a good start.

Once activated, go to Appearance/widget in your theme and drag Pages into the sidebar.

I hope i am clear with you. If not, you can always drop me a PM or ask here again.

Hi Don,

If you want a theme that can create extremely static looking sites, I would suggest that you get the Clickbump Engine theme.

I personally use it myself, and the sites you can create look exactly like static sites. Also, it comes with a lot of customization abilities, and a lot of different themes.

The themes are generally optimized for high Adsense CTR though.

Apart from the main package of the theme, he also has a bundle package that includes a Wordpress plugin which enables to quickly clone all the same theme settings on your new site instantly, so it's quite ideal if you are going to set up a ton of sites at once.

Cheers,
