Web Resources Depot Admin Template
May 4, 2008 by Matt | Posted in Design One CommentWeb Resources Depot has released a free Admin Template for use in web apps. It’s a three-column design with a row of tabs, for navigation, along the top. With some modifications, it would work well for a web application, if you were developing one.
Personally, I would use the design during development, and swap it out with a unique theme when all the coding work is done. But if you’re trying to put together a web app, and you don’t have any design know-how, and don’t want to hire a designer, you could conceivably use this. I’d just recommend customizing it a bit, so it doesn’t look like you have the exact same template as someone else.
You can view a live demo of the template, and download it here.

Mar 24, 2008 by Matt | Posted in Design, Featured 59 CommentsIf you’re serious about blogging, and are trying to run a quality blog on a specific topic, you need a good design.

Once you’ve picked-out a good theme, make it your own. Put your logo in the header, tweak the colors a little, and whatnot. Customize it so it matches your site’s personality.
Now that the introduction is out of the way, let’s get to the fun part. Following are a few WordPress themes that, in my opinion, are professional and well-done.
