New Hori­zon for Ele­gant Word­Press Themes

Semi­oman­tics inno­v­a­tive Word­Press based web­site devel­op­ments have explored a new level: a Glossy Ele­gant Word­Press Theme based on the com­bi­na­tion of the Semi­oman­tics tuned The­sis Theme with Semi­oman­tics Evo­lu­tion Flash developments.

The Idea behind the Project

Semi­oman­tics first pri­or­ity in devel­op­ing Word­Press has always been the per­for­mance and SEO of the sites. Media and media related seman­tics are less effi­cient on Google than text; there­fore Semi­oman­tics has focused for media devel­op­ment out­side Word­Press, namely in con­nec­tion with Flash developments.

Cus­tomers and vis­i­tors of Semi­oman­tics Evo­lu­tion sites are amazed by the qual­ity of the media, dis­play and effects. While flash offers the most stun­ning visual effects, their seman­tics is less SE effi­cient than tra­di­tional html.

The idea was now to asso­ciate the flash devel­op­ments with the Word­Press devel­op­ments and to use flash media to shape the look of Word­Press. Inversely, one could imag­ine to import Word­Press con­tent into Flash environments.

At the bases of the devel­op­ment there is always a Semi­oman­tics Word­Press script.

The Pur­pose of the Project

Tra­di­tion­ally, com­mer­cial cus­tomers have to choose between a smash­ing flash web­site, a SE effi­cient HTML site or some sort of a com­pro­mise of both. Com­pro­mises are rarely sat­is­fac­tory, that’s why peo­ple often use two sites and inter­link them.

The pur­pose of the project was there­fore to asso­ciate the advan­tages of both extremes under one Semi­oman­tics Word­Press CMS to let vis­i­tors of the High Per­for­mance Semi­oman­tics WP expe­ri­ence the smash­ing media deliv­ered by Semi­oman­tics Evolution.

Imple­men­ta­tion and Screenshots

The test run this past week-end was run on this web­site in com­bi­na­tion with Semi­oman­tics Evo­lu­tion and EVO2.

A first shot was to inte­grate Evo­lu­tion right below the header ban­ner of the Word­Press site. As the image results from a heav­ily zoomed out screen, the full width of EVO2 is not dis­played on the screen shot. In real­ity we see the whole dis­play of EVO2. Also the Logo on EVO2 moves down to the menu, just because of the Zoom effect:

The sec­ond shot was to dis­play only EVO2 on the Home Page, giv­ing the site a look of a glossy mag­a­zine. This screen is not zoomed and dis­plays the con­tent correctly.

Here it is where things get inter­est­ing: the menu in EVO2 can serve as a Word­Press Nav­i­ga­tion and inversely, the Word­Press Nav­i­ga­tion can be asso­ci­ated with the menu of EVO2. Here is how it works:

If on the EVO2 menu we select ‘HOME’ we are directed to the home page of the blog, there we would see the Home­page con­tent of Word­Press as well as the cor­re­spond­ing Media from EVO2. The same applies to every cat­e­gory of page. Fur­ther devel­op­ment would be needed to cre­ate asso­ci­a­tions to posts with cus­tom media.

The EVO2 Nav­i­ga­tion would allow to select cat­e­gories for exam­ple and the Word­Press nav­i­ga­tion could dis­play menus fea­tur­ing the con­tained posts and related media.

In the end, EVO2 can serve as a fully inte­grated mul­ti­me­dia box for Word­Press based websites!
