Free WordPress theme: Introducing NYC Theme

by Jean-Baptiste Jung. 38 Comments -

It’s been a long time since I released OpenBook, my free “Magazine” theme. So I’m very happy to announce you the release of my new free WordPress theme, called NYC Theme.

I created this theme because I received some emails from people asking me if I can publicly release the cats Who Code theme. I wasn’t against this idea, but Cats Who Code theme has been built especially for this blog and have many very specific features, so it should be a real pain to customize it and make it fit your needs.

Features

  • Widgetized sidebar
  • Widgetized footer
  • Custom field to display a thumbnail on homepage
  • Optimized for SEO
  • Easy to customize
  • Classy design with nice color
  • Built-in pagination

Download/Live demo

A live demo of the theme is available on my demo server. If you want to download the theme, just click here.

    The theme rocks, thanks to the excellent blue-back combo of the background img. Perhaps the footer area could have a blue b/g as well to make it look better…

    Another thing – as the image is occupying half the screen, most hot areas above the fold is
    gone… If you monetize a site with this theme, your ad revenue may reduce.

    Amazing work though…

    Cheers,
    Ajith

    @all: Thanks for the nice comments! I’m glad you enjoyed the theme!

    @Ajith Edassery: You’re right about the header image. When I was creating the theme, I have thought a lot about including it or not, and finally choose to include it.
    Anyways, it’s very easy to remove the image and replace it by a smaller image :)

    @Universal Indie Records: You’re right, I didn’t explained it. Sorry about this. You got to create a custom field, named Image, and assign it the thumbnail url as a value.

    @Robby: Thanks a lot :)

    This theme is quite focused on a certain location, and would probably mainly appeal to people who only want this type of look. It has a dark look which is not too ominous, and this adds to its value.

    I love black/dark themes and this one is really excellent, i admit. The only glitch is footer which is not perfectly suited with rest of design, but i guess that could be bypassed.

    Hi JBJ, thanks for this theme. I am using it right now. Am thinking of disabling the Page Navi though, it doesn’t look right. And there is an extra ” /> showing up at the beginning of each blog post. I am still looking for where that came from to clean it up.

    Overall, I am very thankful for your hard work on this theme. Thanks again.

    One of the few themes that has impresed me, despite a big header image.
    I would like to change the body #5A5B5E to something lighter. (to one in this sidebar)
    try this one out and see a beautiful theme..
