Freelancer Theme is a project I've been dedicating myself to for a while now. I wanted to create a theme that gave power to the average user – and did it in style. Pricing and more details coming very soon.
Oh, and of course, it's WordPress 3.0 ready!
Freelancer Theme 1.0 Features
Freelancer Theme has an excellent search engine friendly framework. The framework displays the content before the sidebars. Making it much more efficient for search engines to read your content. It also comes with fields to input your meta description and meta keywords on all posts and pages. If you neglect to enter your meta description, Freelancer Theme will grab it from your first paragraph.
Freelancer Theme comes with two custom widgets.
Social Profiles: Simply choose your social icon, and input your specific link or username next to it. This allows you to easily add buttons for: Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, Flickr, Linkedin, Email and Youtube. You can choose small or large buttons, and whether you want them to display vertically, or horizontally.
Featured Spot: This widget is ideal if you want to include a newsletter sign up in one of your widget areas. It allows you to specify a title, description, image (linked if you choose), and html (where you can paste your newsletter sign up code or anything else!). Then when you save, everything is formatted and displayed for you. This widget is also ideal for an e-book download spot.
Post Lists: One of Freelancer Themes most powerful features. When adding a page, you can choose to pull posts from one or more categories. You can also choose whether to show their excerpts, or just use the page as a post listing (which only shows the post titles, and sub headlines/bylines if you configure them). You can place the lists or excerpts into two columns, and choose how many posts you would like to show on that page. So many uses for this feature! (Pages only)
Download/Samples: A very exciting feature! In fact, this page and all of these descriptions are using this feature! It allows you to enter a title, description, image (which is automatically thumbnailed, but pops up in a fancy window when clicked), and a download link. This is ideal for listing e-books, samples, or any other kind of download. Of course, not all options have to be used. (Pages & Posts)
