Four New Website Themes Through BoldGrid Inspirations
WordPress Themes
WordPress offers pre-built website templates known as “themes,” which roughly equate to BoldGrid’s “Inspirations.” They allow you to launch a professional-looking website quickly and easily. We recently added four new website themes through BoldGrid Inspirations, giving our customers a total of twenty active options! Let’s check out the latest Inspirations from BoldGrid: Callaway, Cobalt, Swifty, and Westview.

The following screen will display, giving you the option to begin customizing your site!
Choosing a Theme
To view your options, login to your WordPress admin menu with BoldGridinstalled. Click on “Inspirations” from the left-hand sidebar menu to view the various themes available. You will see the four latest themes displayed across the top. To the left of the themes’ thumbnail images, you can choose a Category Filter to hone in on a theme designed for a specific industry. If you click on one of the Inspirations without selecting, it will display that home page in a larger view. When you select an Inspiration, the “Content” tab will open. This tab allows you to choose the Pageset and whether you would like to add Blog Functionality to your site. Pageset options include: “Base” (three pages), a five page set, or “Kitchen Sink” (usually seven pages). If you plan to write content on a regular basis, turning on Blog Functionality will help you create a place for it to live. In the “Content” tab in Inspirations, you can also see how your theme would look on various devices. Just click on the device icons for desktop, tablet, or mobile display to toggle between each view. When satisfied with your selections, click “Next” from the top right corner to move on to the next tab. Here you will fill out your main contact information for your website, including company name/site title, email, phone number, mailing address, and social media accounts you would like to connect.

Callaway
We just installed “Callaway” as our active theme for this example, so let’s talk about this Inspiration first. Words like “sleek” and “modern” best describe this template design, making it good for business sites. Each one of our Inspirations has a theme in each category. So, if you like a particular design, but need certain elements for your business, BoldGrid provides options for that theme across a variety of industries. For example, if you choose Callaway’s “Real Estate” theme, it will include a pre-designed “Listings” page for you and add it to the main menu.Cobalt
Designed with start-up companies in mind, “Cobalt” uses very large, bold headings, some neonish “tech” colors, minimal text, and lots of icons. Check it out below:
Swifty
Deliberately minimal and extremely artsy, “Swifty” has become a favorite among our own designers. Built for designers, by designers, this theme has a beautifully minimalist aesthetic. To see what we mean, check out the “Design” category for it. Below, you will find the “Default” category displaying its hipster style.Westview
Last, but certainly not least, “Westview” suits rural businesses, rugged individuals, or rough-and-tumble products. Farmers, heavy equipment companies, and country artists love this Inspiration. A bit more conservative than many of our other designs, Webview still has plenty of all-American artistic appeal.
