    Any visual look of a theme is possible, there’s no limit from WordPress. That site is pretty terrible in the fact that it’s entirely and only available to people who can see it. There’s nothing to it, just a bunch of fancy images and links.

    Look at the code the homepage generates: view-source:https://www.buffalocartridge.com/

    It will be rubbish for search engines, and anyone who may not be able to see the site who is relying on assistive technologies to help them.

    Take inspiration from its design, but don’t create a site like that.

    Maybe use a background manager plugin for the large background image: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/background-manager/screenshots/

    Andrew,

    Thank you for your advice. Is there a certain theme that would be better for building a site like this? I’ve never built a site that had random images scattered around like this one does with such a large background. Your background manager plugin idea is something I will definitely look at!
    Also thank you for reminding me to look at the source.
    I can see how search engines wouldn’t like it too much. This site belongs to a highly popular company so I’m surprised they didn’t do a better job of it. I want my client’s site to be picked up well by search engines. I’ll be doing all I can to get him the exposure he needs/wants.

    Thanks again,
    Sam

    One more question… I’m looking at site that have transparency and I really like that idea. Is there a certain theme that you would recommend for this? Also is there a way to not have the content (blog) area show up on the page?
    I could build a site like the one I mentioned above in Dreamweaver very quickly. But I have to do this site in WordPress so my friend can go in later on and edit things himself.

    Thank you again for your help!
