From time to time I am finding some beautiful and useful sites with WordPress as a CMS, today I’ve stumbled upon Makarras. Styled with excellent graphics and good CSS knowledge Makarras is a good example that personal sites are in NEED of a brand look: seperate yourself from the others with your look and content. There is NO need to have a fully graphics loaded site like Makarras, but an eyecatching header along with good content WILL force the visitors to remind your site. WordPress powered sites doesn’t need to look like the average 08/15 blog, clean and grid based design is a must, BUT that doesn’t mean it should be boring.
I’ve put together some examples of cool styles and good branding (all WP powered) found through surfing CSS Galleries:
If you check the header on all sites, you’ll realize what I’ve meant with branding.
