Woo Themes latest design is Postcard, a wonderfully designed travel centric theme that is a mix between a magazine styled theme and personal blog.
Content Display: Postcard is a beautiful tan colored theme that features a unique header with a postcard logo and stamps and other things in a faded background. This theme is very basic, however it works as the theme is about the story and color of the photographs of the blogger’s travel.
The theme is setup in a very unique way, and almost feels not like a Wordpress blog at all. The content is king and a large photograph and the latest travel postcard (hence the name “Postcard”) are promptly displayed in a content slider at the top of the page. Down the left hand column is the latest blog posts, while the right hand column (of equal width with the left column) is featuring widgets that are available with the theme, Google Maps, Tweets, and Flickr being the three most prominent.
Navigation: The navigation works great on Postcard, with the most recent content being the headline, the navigation does a good job of not getting in the way of what people are really looking for. There is a header navigation bar that features the pages links along the top of the browser that does a good job not to be to attention getting. The content slider features arrows and does not automatically rotate. What would be the usual sidebar navigation is actually at the bottom of the page and plays less of a role in Postcard than it does in other themes.
Sidebar: The sidebar on Postcard is the same width as the main blog column, however it features a lot of great features in such a small space. Woo Themes probably has the best developer widgets that they include with their premium themes, including the Flickr, Twitter, and Google Maps mentioned above. The sidebar is widget ready, allowing for custom widgets to be installed into Postcard. With the column being so wide, the developer can actually choose a wide column or half column, depending on the widget.
Overall: Featuring an integrated image gallery, custom widgets, Google Maps geo-tagging (for photos at taken at specific locations), and nine (9) different color themes from the one that I reviewed in this theme to a slick black theme, you are basically getting a completely customizable theme for a great price. Postcard is available for $70 for the standard edition and for $150 for developer. The Woo Themes special of 3-for-1 is always available and a great offer.
Woo Themes has done it again. With one of the best track records of creating unique, useful, and beautiful designs, Woo Themes has created a great niche design that will work great for a lot of Wordpress users.
