WordPress - Layout Inspiration

Demo Theme Site. 









This theme is powered by WordPress, I thought it would be a good idea to look into some theme's because I could think about using something similar.

Backgrounds:
I think this page would be good for a festival event because when the user scrolls through they see something completely different in every section. I've mentioned in a previous post that there is so much that happens during a festival such as music, stalls, camping, yoga, fun fair rides and lots more but not many people know that because its not advertised a lot, using pictures of different parts of the festival for the backgrounds would be a great way of making people aware. -- I would personally fade the pictures slightly so you can see everything on top more clear. 

Navigation:
I like how the navigation bar stays on screen as you scroll through the website, it means if the user doesn't have to scroll all the way back to the top to get to a different page. Also when you hover over picture links the mouse turns into a little hand which is an obvious indication that it's a link. 

Continuously Scrolling Slider:
I love everything about this, the fact is not right at the top of the page but in the middle I think its something that grabs the users attention, When I noticed this I instantly thought about how well it would work for a festival event page because you could have pictures of featured artists attending the event or even have the countdown to how many days are left until the event. 

Gallery Posts:

This is a cool section because when you click on the images it leads the user to another page with information about what the user clicked on. 


With this theme I like how the user would be able to see a range of different aspects of the event all on one page because of this I think the audience would be able to get a great deal of information. There is so much that I like about this website, I am considering using this theme for the website I am going to create.
