Last week, I featured ten uniquely designed small business sites. Third in my Thesis series are lawyers’ web sites running on Chris Pearson’s versatile Thesis theme for WordPress. Designing law firm/legal web sites is a niche market. And working for and with lawyers isn’t for everyone. (I should know; I’ve been a legal secretary for nearly 30 years now!) Lawyers’ web sites are generally content-rich and should be geared toward the legal consumer. Face it, most white glove law firms write for other lawyers, law students they hope to one day hire, in-house counsel, and mega-corporations. Not the average, everyday consumer. The sites I’m featuring today are sites belonging to lawyers specializing in consumer bankruptcy, debt counseling, family law and other personal legal services. These are not megalaw sites.

Also, as I surfed looking for Thesis-driven lawyers’ web sites, one name kept appearing at the bottom of quite a number of these sites: Rowboat Media. RowBoat Media is operated by Atlanta, Georgia web designer Cynthia LaLuna. If you visit her web design site, you’ll be treated to her very witty and engaging writing style and an in-depth review of the Thesis theme for WordPress. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, wondering if you should shell out the dough for this premium theme, then you owe it to yourself to read what Cynthia has to say about Thesis. But don’t just take her word for it! (Or mine!) See for yourself just how easily Thesis can be used to create a stunning, functional web site suitable for Clarence Darrow himself!

Last week, I featured ten drop-dead gorgeous web sites running on Chris Pearson’s Thesis theme for WordPress. Just to illustrate how customizable this theme really is, this week, I am focusing on small business and professional web sites using Thesis. And not just using Thesis, but using it in unique and beautiful ways. What kind of Thesis site makes the Pixelita cut? Well, it has to be running Thesis of course. And not an out of the box or even moderately tweaked Thesis site. It should be very well customized (I don’t want to see those telltale curly braces showing off your comments!). As you can see from this selection, the businesses who have found Thesis run the gamut from lawyers to marketers to corporate branding firms to hospitals to roofing and construction companies. Why? They are capitalizing on Thesis’ built-in SEO, for one thing. And when you’re running a business, this is nothing to sneeze at.

So enjoy the presentation and if you would like a Thesis-powered web site, just contact us!

I jumped on the bandwagon and purchased the Developer License for Chris Pearson’s Thesis theme for WordPress back when it was first released. I knew that Chris was a solid designer and wouldn’t release sloppy code or ugly design. I knew that Thesis was intended to be flexible, extensible. I figured I’d need it some day.

A year has come and gone since Chris first released Thesis and I still haven’t found time to play with it, but I have been seeing quite a number of beautiful web sites created with Thesis. These are sites that aren’t discernible as Thesis themes at first glance. You will be amazed, as I was, how really malleable Thesis can be. I can’t wait to dive into it. I’ve got a couple of projects coming up and I’m itching to try my hand at creating a gorgeous Thesis theme.

This is the first of what I hope will be many showcase posts for Thesis. Just to show you that it’s not all cookie-cutter and that in the right hands, Thesis can be bent and twisted and shaped just about any way you want. As you can see from these designs, it’s often hard to tell that they are using the Thesis theme unless you peek at the source code. I offer them in no particular order so enjoy!
