wpdesigner.com review

wpdesigner.com is an other blog / resource targeted at WordPress users. It has the usual categories, like webhosting, themes, tips, tutorials and so on. I especially liked the “How to Get Help for WordPress Problems” section, mainly because it starts with “Search Before You Ask” (but the other tips it gives are also good). The free wordpress themes section is also good. Not only does it show snapshot for each theme, but it also shows detailed information like license and for many of them it contains a “liked/disliked” list. While you might not agree with everything written in these reviews, it gives a good starting point for people interested in checking out a theme.

What I disliked: the front-page theme is too minimalistic in my opinion and misses the opportunity to feature more in-depth content from the blog. You have to go and dig yourself to see what things you can find (you can see the announcement of the new theme here, and a screenshot of the previous theme – which seems much nicer – here). Also, from the contact page it seems that wpdesigner just changed ownership, and it is not clear in what direction the new owner will take it (or who the new owner is for that matter).

If you are a WordPress user, browse around – you might find something interesting.

Full disclosure: this is a paid review from ReviewMe. Under the terms of the understanding I was not obligated to skew my viewpoint in any way (ie. only post positive facts).
