Need suggestion for theme
-
Hi there,
I have an odd request. I am pretty new to wordpress so I’m not sure about the different themes and what is possible with them. I recently came across a website that I really liked and was wondering if there is a theme that is similar to it.
The website is elion.co.in
The main thing that I like about it is the slideshow for the header.
I am selling products on a variety of platforms but I wanted a way to group all my products on a single site. So I would need a featured products function as well. Some products are available on more than one platform (ebay, shopify etc) so for each product I wanted to be able to include ‘buttons’ that will take you to the product page on that platform. I don’t need it to have anything about price, availability or shipping info as I won’t be selling anything through this site.
Are there any themes that include all these elements? If so – which ones are they? If I’m going to need plugins to make all of this possible what is the best combination to achieve what I’m looking for?
Thanks in advance for any help. -
Are you planning to create a site hosted here on WordPress.com, or will you install WordPress software on your own hosting?
That’s the first question to figure out, as the theme selection is different depending on your answer. If you’re not sure of the differences between the two types of WordPress sites, check out:
This site – http://elion.co.in/ – is actually running a customized version of Twenty Fourteen. If you view the browser source you can see some of the plugins they’re using.
If you’re going to host your site here on WordPress.com, you might like to look at some portfolio-oriented themes, as they could be used to feature products:

Hi,
I am planning on hosting the page myself, well through ipage actually. Of all the wordpress hosting services out there I like ipage the most.
I knew there was a way to check how a site was built but I’m unsure how to go about it. How do I view the browser source?

How do I view the browser source?
It depends on your browser.
In Chrome, it’s under View > Developer > View source.
In Firefox, Tools > Web Developer > Page Source
Since you’re planning to self-host the site, you have access to any of the free themes in the WordPress.org theme directory, so feel free to explore:
There are also many premium themes available, though they aren’t in the directory.
If you need help with self-hosted theme selection, feel free to post in the WordPress.org forums:
https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates
You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:
https://wordpress.org/support/register.php
These forums are for folks hosted here at WordPress.com.
Good luck with your site!

I always wondered what that was about, now I know!!! I thought I had registered a wordpress account but I see this registration form is different so I guess not. Thanks a lot for your help though!!!

You’re very welcome! The WordPress.org forums are completely separate from these WordPress.com forums so that’s why it’s a separate registration. Good luck on your theme adventure!
