Thesis theme
Wordpress itself, as said, is a backbone for setting up a website. Getting an appealing design requires a theme, as it is called. It resides on top of wordpress. For this we use a premium design and template manager;
thesis theme. A high end solution that, against acceptable costs and not too much coding skills required, makes it possible to create practically any desired web architecture and design. On top of that thesis encompasses some preformatted skins to make things considerably easier. For more information visit their
