Kick Ass Webdesign Word Press Templates
All Kickass themes and webpages are designed totally using css based non-tabled layouts. The benefit is a ''skinned'' site where "facelifts" can occur just by altering one css file, instead of hundreds of html table based files. Also, sites load faster when presentation is taken out of the html code and placed in the css file. The content, since there's less html bloat, is more easily accessed by the search engine spiders, so pages generated from these themes are more search engine friendly than conventional table based layouts. Other devices, such as small screens, handicap helpers and screen readers, also find css layouts more accessible and easier to "read". [#] Now I'd like to discuss doing grid-based theme design for open source content management systems, e.g. Drupal and WordPress.

After reading this, you should be able to create a fully-functional grid-based design and HTML prototype that can be coverted into a theme template. [#] |
