Creator Base is now live on two real sites three real sites four real sites; Fireball Tim, Man of Recaps and White Roof Radio and, right here at donburnside.com ( ! ), which means it’s time to share what this theme is, who it’s for and why it exists.
This is a homepage-first WordPress theme built for creators, designed to put your work front and center the moment someone lands on your site. Everything works without plugins and you dont’ have to use block editor to make it shine. This theme does exactly one job: make you look good. It does that by putting the homepage hero area to work.
YouTubers are going to love the Video setup. Shows off your content at 720p, keeping load times fast while still looking sharp. And, it allows for a step and repeat pattern as the background. As you scroll, all your content; videos, featured images or excerpt text, is shown off in your brand’s colors. Clicking through delivers the user to a clean post that works as a landing page.
The banner layout trades motion for clarity. It’s ideal for bloggers, podcasters, and creators who want an intentional first impression without autoplay or animation. As a bonus, the background is available in video and widget mode!
Widget mode is a 2 widget area; on the left, your content player, image or text. On the right, a nice square widget area for your email sign up, RSS feeds from a sister site, or a sponsors ad.
Further promotion and customization is made using the promo bar. This can be used as a full length sidebar for desktop, and a nice side scroller on mobile, perfect for sharing your playlists, sponsor ads or whatever you want.
Creator Base will be availble at the end of January.
