How To Customize It Like This?

  • Good day to all,

    I just installed my first wordpress blog yesterday and thought I might ask a very important question to all those who are more experienced out there.

    I’m not a programmer but fortunately I was assigned to create our own blog. I was inspired by this website https://www.dragonstopmotion.com/blog/ because their blog is so simple yet effective. Very minimal.

    Spending the whole day searching for a theme that looks and works like that, I stumbled into nothing so I am asking for help in this community.

    My first question is how did they make that blog appear seemlessly on their main website design / header? …..

    Second is that, if this is a theme, how do I customize our blog to that (https://www.dragonstopmotion.com/blog/)

    I hope someone would have the spare time to shoot some details for me ??

    Thank you so much

    my second option is this.
    https://www.zeroshortfilm.com/

    is this a wordpress theme? if it is then great. can someone tell me what the name is ??

    What is it about that first theme that you love?? I see nothing extra-ordinary about it and seems that jsut about any dark, two column theme will work for what you want.. then you can just install a category drop down menu addon

    Now.. to your question as to how they made it seemless… thats the work of a developer. Its nothing short of a basic website design, but basically you pick what you want to design first – the blog or the home page..

    If you design the blog first, then you go through and strip out all the unnessecary code and create a basic HTML source code for your front end and keep the style sheet.. thats the reason people push CSS layouts, because the content and the styling are separate

    Or you create the HTML page first and use the css from that to work into the blog..

    Either way, its something that I have done for people many times, but it does require a good deal of knowledge with code.

    thank you for that. it seems this is way too difficult for someone like me. how about the second theme from (zeroshortfilm.com) is it in any of the thems wordpress is giving away?

    There are so many themes, i couldnt tell you. Sorry.

    Time to either hire a developer or spend some more time searching for the write theme..

    Its one of those things, you can’t expect to get exactly what you want for free – it rarely ever happens..
