I'm building a website for my doctor friend and it can be very simple so I decided to use wordpress. Is there some themes that do NOT look like a blog? I mean I know I could probably take out all of the sidebar options but I figured posting here real quick wouldn't hurt. Maybe there's a giant field of WP themes I am missing. Thanks!
what do you want it to look like? Check this out: hXXp://www.dazzlindonna.com/blog/2008/02/07/best-premium-wordpress-themes-for-a-non-blog-look/ I just googled "non-blog wordpress template". You should try to google it except be more specific like "medical wordpress theme" or something.
You can take a look at this theme... it removes sidebars, so you can post full pages... very clean... Code: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/inove
Even I am in the process of building a non-blog style website for my BF who basically is into manufacturing tools & fixtures. I wanted to go with a normal site built using xSitePro but then I gave it a second thought ... his clients may even want to register or something. Hence, I settled with WP. This is what I am planning to do: Get a 1 column wordpress theme only with pages [OR] Get a two column theme, make the header a flash banner using KML Flashembed plug in. The side column will have quick links like Follow us on twitter, Stay updated with RSS, Login, Register and other blah blah.
Some of the magazine template themes are nice. Look for those - I'm about to use one, and the blog is only going to be down in the corner
I can't recommend a specific theme since there are SO many good and useful ones. I can say that some of the best ones are available with a quick search here on BHW. I'm running a news site (kind of like a magazine site) and while it's run off WP, it doesn't look like a blog at all. So yes, it is certainly doable, plus you'll have the advantage of the WP engine.
I'll suggest to you this theme it works like a charm and with little tweaking it's awesome. Code: http://www.arrastheme.com/
Yes, there are a lot of themes that just look like regular blank pages with borders. I use a paid package from this guy: Code: http://wp-landingpages.com/ I think some of these might be in the downloads section. But also I just checked his site and you can get one for free -- that might be all you need.
