Studiopress Corporate WordPress Theme for Small Business

The Corporate WordPress Theme is a great theme to get started with a website for your small business or startup.
This theme was developed as more of a CMS (content management system) for small business and companies who want to have a website and a blog. The homepage is completely built using text widgets, in order to make it very easy to add/update content. This theme does not require a theme options page since it’s built using text widgets (homepage/sidebar) and uses common WordPress calls and functions.

Author Box
One of the new features for the Corporate theme is the addition of the Author Box – this will show the Gravatar of the person who wrote the post, as well as include the Biographical Info for the user which can be added in the user profile.

Here’s a screenshot of how the Author Box looks:

eNews & Updates Widget
If you are looking to capture email addresses for a newsletter that you send out, or want to have people subscribe to your blog posts, the eNews & Updates widget is perfect. We have created a widget that you can add to your sidebar that is built to work with a Feedburner account.

Color Styles
If you used version 1.0 of the Corporate theme, you will notice that each of the Gray and Blue color styles were separate themes. In order to simplify things, we’ve added the ability to toggle between the two color styles from the theme options page. This results in a much smaller download file, as well as keeps one core set of files to be used.

Here’s a screenshot of how the eNews & Updates widget looks:

Support For Localization
Another awesome feature that is included with the Corporate theme is support for localization. We have been asked numerous times if our themes can be localized, and we are going to make sure that all of them can be internationalized into different languages.

Here is a screenshot of the new theme options page looks:

Many of you know that currently my homepages are setup by category calls, and the current structure means that to configure them, you need to go into the home.php files and change cat=1 to the category ID you want to display.

This poses two problems – it forces users who aren’t code-friendly to go into theme files, and that makes people nervous. It also means that people have to figure out what category IDs are, where they are located and how they can change the code by themselves. This is why I have updated these themes to accommodate that.

Using Widgets to Configure Previous Options

The other major change in the themes is that I widgetized them as much as possible. One question you might have after seeing the new theme options page, is “Where did all of the YouTube, AdSense, Feedburner, image ads, etc go?”

Well the bad news is that I have done away with configuring those things on the theme options page. The good news is that everything now will run using text widgets, as in my opinion, this gives users more flexibility in how they configure the theme.

As you can see from the screenshot provided, all areas that currently held a theme options page requirement can now be configured using widgets.

What is the bottom line?

Brian Gardner said" Well, I’ll admit that I am a compulsive refiner by nature – and that’s a good thing, because it makes me continually work on (and make better) the themes that I develop. It’s my intent to make them as user-friendly as possible, so that both WordPress newbies as well as developers can use them."
