Ikarus is my dream of a Wordpress Theme come to life.

Four (4) homepage layouts (magazine, list, blog and magazine lis), over 10 colors that you can mix and match, left or right layout and tons more.

It’s the most complex programmed theme that will most likely ever be created. It’s my proudest piece of work and I’m glad to give it away free of charge. I’ve included some links in the footer that points back to my personal websites. If you’d like them removed please paypal $30 to webdesign@5shades.com.

I’ve created an exlusive demo page just for Ikarus so that you can witness the full potential of it’s power and flexibility. I’ve also made it terribly easy to customize and fit your needs.

SunsetBlue Wordpress Theme - A nature inspired picturesque theme

Braydon — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 18:10:32 +0000

This is the first of two themes I saw for sale while forum lurking and just fell in love with the design. It’s so unique and artistic I just had to win the auction and buy it only to give it away. It probably costed more than it’s worth, but I couldn’t stop staring at it with it’s bright colors and overall attractiveness. I felt like the design really pulls a user in and I hope that it’ll do the same for your blog users. The second reason I wanted to buy it was so that I could name it myself. A theme is after all only as good as its name! I’m not currently fluent in another language so I don’t have exotic theme names yet.

When I name my themes I try to think of something that sparks the creative brain cells in users. It’s a process I studied in marketing years ago. For example: “red penny” - there’s no such thing and by thinking it or reading it just made you a little smarter. So for this theme I had a ton of fun trying to name it and settled on SunsetBlue. If you ever do see a real blue sunset be sure to send me a picture.

It includes an options page that lets you color the text format of the sitename/header if you so choose to use it. I’ve also included the Photoshop (PSD) source files in the zip download for this theme.

Car Point - Wordpress Theme After My Own Heart

Braydon — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:48:22 +0000

I’m a huge speed fan and wanted to create my second theme out of pure interest. It’s not fanciful of features and elaborate as the ones to come but it’s a great functional 2 column design that’s sure to impress. CarPoint theme is widget ready with a left sidebar and support a ton of addons. Compatible with Wordpress 1.5 and greater. I’ve also packed the Photoshop PSD files with this theme so that you can edit the header image to match you blog. The header is a single background that you just have to replace. Doesn’t get any easier than that.

Mystify WordPress Theme - My first attempt at a theme

Braydon — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:26:25 +0000

I wanted to get my feet wet so I decided to design a theme that was water/nature/aquarium related. The idea behind the header image is diving for lost treasure. I was browsing for a really cool desktop wallpaper and stumbled on the header image that I modified and used for Mystify. I’m pretty proud of this theme and it has generated a lot more response than I’d hoped for. It includes an options page that lets you easily change the header image to match your own custom look and feel.

A few noteworthy features: widget ready, archives, 404 error, links and contact page, admin options page to change header image.
