Discovering Wabi Sabi WordPress Theme

Wabi Sabi WordPress Theme

We are excited to be releasing this premium WordPress theme!

The Wabi Sabi WordPress (and the Magento theme), just like the essence of Wabi-Sabi that you will appreciate, if not instantaneously, you will grow a fondness for it-a lingering fondness that is.

Wabi Sabi is ordinary beauty that you find in your surrounding; it’s simple, it’s subtle, it’s eye-soothing, it’s serene, it’s daily living-it’s of aesthetically pleasing kind of imperfection meeting perfection.

Features Highlights of Wabi Sabi WordPress:

• Global

  • WordPress 3.0+ ready!
  • A simple Mobile Version using Media Queries. A mobile pack version that offers content negotiation and adaptation is in the work (extra fee required).
  • Multilingual translation ready! A “pot” (Portable Object Template) file is included for you to translate to your langauge.
  • Main Navigation (with dropdown-menu if you feel like it) – Less is more! A main navigation for pages, categories and external link menus all in one place. Configure it directly from admin.
  • Theme Options (enter logo, rss feed icons, twitter, facebook profile and google analytics code from admin).
  • Widgets ready!
  • Accordian Menu – this space-saving feature allows you to add as many sidebar widgets as you like.
  • Insert image or Video in a post using Custom Field. In the Excerpt mode (see example in the homepage) it shows a thumbnail size, in posts page it shows a full size image (or large size video)
  • Random Image on sidebar (excluded from homepage) or one image per post – similar to above feature, enter it from Custom Field on each posts/pages page.
  • A Links template (a.k.a Bookmarks) – extra bit of usability and SEO. This template is very useful if you have a long list of sites that you want to link to, and don’t want it shows up in the sidebar widget. Setup the page from the Pages page and select the template.
  • A Sitemap template to display Categories, Pages and Posts Pages.
  • An Archives template to display last 20 posts, posts by categories, posts by yearly and monthly. This thoughtful feature is useful if a site has been running for years and has hundreds of articles (in this case you probably don’t want the archives display in the sidebar widget).
  • Linking post published dates to their archives – extra bit of usability care that your reader/visitor will appreciate!
  • Build with accessibility in mind: WCAG 2.0 AA/ Section 508 quality
  • Search Engine Optimized from ground up – structural markup and image optimization.
  • Search Magento store’s products – that is, if purchase together with Wabi Sabi Magento theme.
  • Syndicate Magento store’s product to posts page – great SEM/SEO feature to have if you also purchase the Magento Wabi Sabi theme, and run your WordPress blog in different domain.
  • Crafted with care and attention to detail – the wabi-sabi way!
