WordPress Login

Hello,

The nature of this request may be considered minor to you WordPress geniuses out there, but it has been jogging my brain for the past day or so. My company has been looking to convert to WordPress recently and in order to do so, we will need to ensure that user experience for our website will be considerably better with this new CMS. The problem is, WordPress concepts can be a bit foreign to m,e at times since I’ve been a big HTML guy for a long time now.

I’m trying to figure out how to further customize the WordPress login page for our site. Not the PHP, but the cosmetic/design end. I obviously know of certain plugins like “A5 Custom Login,” but I feel like I can take it a bit further. I do have knowledge on some HTML and would like to replicate some of the features from this website’s login page.

I do like the fact that their layout seems to be much different from the standard vertical layout offered by WordPress, but I would like to know if it is even POSSIBLE to change that. Also, I like how their logo fades in upon arrival, but when you refresh their page or try to return to their login, it won’t do it again.

If anyone has any idea on if this is possible in WordPress’s standard login page, and could help me out in possibly writing the code from those two features listed in the previous paragraph, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Derek
