A Sneak Peek: Standard Theme Release Coming Soon!

Posted on by

Every day I get even more excited about this new WordPress Theme that I’ll be releasing.

Seriously. It’s going to be awesome, but probably not in the ways that you’ve thought (or that most people would think). I’ll be honest; it’s not “pretty” and would place last in a design contest (seriously)  but it’s got the engine of a Ferrari.

It is, without question, the best coded theme that I’ve ever created. Can you say beautifully-semantic 3 times fast?

In fact, that’s going to be one of the value propositions for this particular theme. I’ve spent hours on making it the best coded WordPress Theme you’ll ever install and out-of-the-box ready to be eaten alive by Google/Yahoo/Bing crawl bots in terms of SEO, and that’s just scratching the surface.

If you’re even remotely in the market for a new professional blog theme for WordPress then stay tuned for this one.

In addition, we’re going to create an amazing community around this theme for advanced development, styling, and more. I’m actually more excited about this than most other things.

Stay tuned: StandardTheme.com.

We’re actually close enough for people to Alpha-Test it. If you’re interested in getting an almost-ready production copy of the theme, drop a comment below…!

  2. Sounds like this theme would not be for a noob? I was sitting here working on getting my personal blog redone. I'd love to spend some time (I was going to anyway this week) on checking it out.

  4. it's a pretty plain theme. the idea behind it is to create a community of people around the theme that'll help each other add the \”design\” touch to it. it will look actually pretty nice out of the box, but it won't win any design contests.

    the idea was to create the most amazing theme in terms of code and development… people can then style on top of it.

  13. That actually sounds like exactly what I've been looking for. I have design themes in my head, but can't seem to find a template that's close to where I want it.

  17. I would love to check it! I'm currently using the Atahualpa theme which is pretty good for a freebie.

  20. I'm very interested in seeing this (and I'm a Drupal deviser/designer/developer guy).

    Are you planning on selling it?

    I'm looking forward to it.

  21. VERY interested! This is the theme you got me all excited for when we emailed this week. I. Am. In.

  22. That looks great, could I get a copy just to alpha test?

    Is the idea that a "chrome" of design would be placed on top of it?

  26. Absolutely would love to Alpha-test on this! We're looking to change our site up (thepursuit.org) and move it to WP. This could be it. Trying. to. be. patient. (I just say and stared at the countdown timer for like 5 minutes!)

  32. Wow, I like what you're describing. I'm currently using your Simpl3 theme, and I'm looking to change the theme to switch it up. I love customization… and standards. So, like dips. :D

  37. I'll test it. If not for me, maybe my church. Finally moving them to WordPress

  38. hmmm, I am looking out for a theme for my family blog (need to rename from Son of Mine to something else when my daughter is born) – so maybe this theme is a bit overkill.
    but I would love to test it out

  41. So is The Standard Theme seeking to compete with Thesis? Couldn't help but ask what with all the talk about out-of-the-box SEO, semantics, and theme development..

  45. Hey John, i would be VERY interested in getting in on this new wordpress theme. i have years of experience self hosting a wordpress install so i could seriously put it through the paces for you man. would love to help.
    i have quite a few blogs i could use it on too.
    thanks man, blessings from australia.

  53. From the pic – it looks to have a epic of a framework! Really looking forward to it, and to give you money for it too! Looks like I missed the boat on being a tester – but that's ok.

    Do you have a price point in mind?

  57. I've got a little side site that I wouldn't mind Alpha testing it on. I could throw a lot at it, and if it broke, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

    • no. not at all. there themes have way more features and options. this one's not for people trying to build sites or CMS's… this one's for the bloggers.
