    Although they look nice, I wonder if this is what you want as a business owner. It’s mostly one HUGE image with some buttons and text. It’s a shame now-a-days people hardly look at real content layouts.

    Great post. I’m a strong believer that WordPress is the best platform for most businesses. I created a similar post helping people chose the best theme for business. You can read it here.

    I echo Erik’s thoughts. Have a look through any theme site nowdays from Woothemes to Themeforest and 99% of business templates have a huge image slider on the front page. It’s always easy to remove the slider but then the balance of the page is often thrown off because the designer didn’t think for one moment that someone might not want a image slider.

    Take a small recuitment company that wants a website – or indeed any company that doesn’t have a tangible product – the sliders get in the way of content and like erik says, little thought nowdays is being given to content layout.

    Exactly, good title for new post 😉 I try for my own customers to dedicated special time for setting up the layout on the text pages instead the big blocks of text.

    @Erik:
    Depends on the website, I think. If the business has just one real product, this type of layout (one main image, small blurbs, etc) would probably work fine for them. Hit the customer with the highlights and the pretty product, then give them the details. Apple’s homepage is pretty much this layout, but without even a lot of copy on it.

    But I do agree that for a lot of businesses, this may not be the right look for them. These layouts seem to work best when you have an actual product to offer, not a service.

    Jonny & Erik, have you looked at the Small Business theme by Expand2Web? There are several layout options (including rotating slide shows and video), optional sidebars and amazing customer support. All the themes have a focus on seo, which after all is the most important part of any site! http://expand2web.com

    Don’t get me wrong these themes are great, but why do template designers insist on advertising apple products and screenshots of other templates?

    It seems like all of these themes have a tall header area designed to feature content. Seems like these would be best for someone trying to spotlight a product.

    What’s wrong with each of these themes? They were designed by designers and not the professionals who need them.

    In terms of design convention, this becomes pertinent when a business has a “content first” communication strategy. This is a lot of businesses, especially if they aim to be successful on the web. I’ve yet to find a theme with truly corporate aesthetics that is designed with content in mind. It’s pathetic. You think that it would dawn on at least one art school grad that there is a wide swath of professionals out there who require content and not splash style home pages that mostly serve as design masturbation for the designer. Content first, content first, content first. Management of that content (menu structure) should be built in, intuitive, and as tailored to non-blog style content management as possible. The current offerings would be embarrassing if the situation (and it’s reflection on the design community) weren’t so sad.
