After my recent post questioning the future of free, quality themes for Wordpress, I decided to re-familiarize myself with what’s available and also discover a theme or two for use on an upcoming side project.
Ask and ye shall receive, it seems. A couple days ago Weblog Tools Collection posted one of their common theme release updates, and this one included “Empty Canvas” from Rubiqube.
I’m tiring a bit on complex theme frameworks, and love the idea of a nice, basic canvas with clean typography to draw a new design on. What I also like about Empty Canvas is I can see myself converting my personal blog (now on Thesis) over to it as is, perhaps with a tweak or two in the header – it’s just refreshing to look at, and under the covers it has none of the complexity (and, of course, none of the admin features) of some of the more popular premium themes on the market today.
I’m looking forward to trying out Empty Canvas on any upcoming project – I’ll share here how it turns out.
