Is One Theme all that you need?
posted by: Vlad AkilovPremium WordPress themes are all the rage. After all, more people than ever before are using WordPress as their blogging platform of choice. That being said, you need to select a theme in order for your site to really take off: this is where One Theme comes into play. From the front page of the One Theme website you will see what the creators of this theme think:
“One Theme is not just a WordPress theme…It’s an enhancement, an “all in one” package that turns WordPress into the management tool you wish it was.” With so much already going for it, these are bold words. But after taking a closer look at what this theme has to offer, it is safe to say that you may agree with these accolades.
When it comes to features, there are too many to list them all. Of course, there are some that are better and more useful than others, and a small sampling of them include:
1. Custom control panel
2. Widget and AdSense ready
3. 100% valid xHTML and CSS
4. Custom control panel
5. Custom search result page
6. Five color schemes
7. Two homepage layouts
8. SEO optimized code
9. Numbered comments
10. Free support
As you can see, this WordPress theme does not lack features. While many themes claim to offer a lot, it is obvious by the partial feature list above that One Theme definitely delivers in this area.
Design
Of course, all of the features in the world are not going to make One Theme worth your while if the design has nothing to offer. Luckily, this is not something that you have to worry about. While the design may not be right up your alley, it does have quite a bit to offer.
In addition to being visually appealing, the homepage is nicely laid out which allows visitors to find what they are looking for without spending too much time jumping around from page to page. On the live demo, you will notice that the homepage offers a spot for a featured article as well as other top level content and “most recent” articles.
As you move to the two-column right sidebar, you will find that the layout is just as efficient and appealing as the main content. This includes an area for your RSS information, advertisements, and other widgets such as categories, pages, and tag clouds.
Backend Control Panel
Although you are sure to fall in love with the design of One Theme, the real fun starts when you begin to navigate the backend control panel. Just like any WordPress blog, you will access the backend via your username and password. But once you activate One Theme, you will have access to many other features that you would not find with other themes.
Even if you are new to WordPress, the One Theme control panel makes it easy for you to find your way around and to make changes to customize the look and feel of your site.
You can see a Live Demo of the One Theme, to see all its features.
If you are interested in monetizing your site with ads, One Theme offers a dedicated section for this task. Since the theme is preconfigured with AdSense, all you have to do is add your publisher ID and you are set to earn. Of course, if you do not want to run AdSense you do not have to. You can replace these blocks with other ads or content.
What else can you do via the backend control panel?
1. Adjust the appearance thanks to five color schemes.
2. Define the content that you want to use for the featured article, etc.
3. Upload a custom header if you are not satisfied with the packaged options.
4. Customize links for the top menu, sub menu, and footer.
By visiting the One Theme page and checking out the live demo and list of features, you are sure to agree that this is one of the top WordPress themes on the market today. To get started, you have three options. With the $99 Webmaster license you can use One Theme on one blog. For $199 you can use the theme on three blogs, and for $299 you have access to five licenses.
If you want to upgrade your blog but don’t have the money to pay for a custom design, One Theme may be right for you. Although the theme will set you back $99, once you take a closer look at the many options you will realize that it is well worth the money.

I actually think it a very good theme. There seems to be some good automated items included in this theme.

Are there any good themes for word press MU? (word press multiuser)

Nothing like a simple and easy to navigate themes. I see crap load of flashy and advanced ones around, but blogs are there to offer content and not alternating orange and neon green poking you in the eye when trying to read some info.

It’s a nice theme, but like web2inspiration said, I prefer to create my own custom theme. And if you have mentioned “custom control panel” twice
, isn’t the wordpress control panel enough?

The theme is wonderful indeed, but I thing its price is too high. isn’t it?

I have seen the control panel in action on my friends site
Oh man it is amazing.
the only problem is; the header graphics are not user friendly as the other options.

I’ve used this theme before. It’s slick. I loved the awesome subtle effects everywhere, but in thee end switched to a more seo-friendly theme.
Content is king.

A service like this, with so much change in the administration department, is quite appealing to many site owners that would want to add life to their site without having to constantly change it on their own. Switching color schemes every once in a while could do quite a bit to keep viewers from getting bored, and the customizable sections will give the site a look of not being in a fixed structure.

Wonderful theme with a great feature. Is there any discount price for a review ?
