A Sneak Peek: Standard Theme Release Coming Soon!
Every day I get even more excited about this new WordPress Theme that I’ll be releasing.
Seriously. It’s going to be awesome, but probably not in the ways that you’ve thought (or that most people would think). I’ll be honest; it’s not “pretty” and would place last in a design contest (seriously) but it’s got the engine of a Ferrari.
It is, without question, the best coded theme that I’ve ever created. Can you say beautifully-semantic 3 times fast?
In fact, that’s going to be one of the value propositions for this particular theme. I’ve spent hours on making it the best coded WordPress Theme you’ll ever install and out-of-the-box ready to be eaten alive by Google/Yahoo/Bing crawl bots in terms of SEO, and that’s just scratching the surface.
If you’re even remotely in the market for a new professional blog theme for WordPress then stay tuned for this one.
In addition, we’re going to create an amazing community around this theme for advanced development, styling, and more. I’m actually more excited about this than most other things.
Stay tuned: StandardTheme.com.
We’re actually close enough for people to Alpha-Test it. If you’re interested in getting an almost-ready production copy of the theme, drop a comment below…!
I'm actually ready to move to wordpress. I'm looking for a simple design. Curious what you mean by "not pretty".
My recent post An Open Letter
I'm very interested in seeing this (and I'm a Drupal deviser/designer/developer guy).
Are you planning on selling it?
I'm looking forward to it.
My recent post Who Are You Giving Thanks To?
VERY interested! This is the theme you got me all excited for when we emailed this week. I. Am. In.
That looks great, could I get a copy just to alpha test?
Is the idea that a "chrome" of design would be placed on top of it?

Sounds like this theme would not be for a noob? I was sitting here working on getting my personal blog redone. I'd love to spend some time (I was going to anyway this week) on checking it out.
For Sale?
it's a pretty plain theme. the idea behind it is to create a community of people around the theme that'll help each other add the \”design\” touch to it. it will look actually pretty nice out of the box, but it won't win any design contests.
the idea was to create the most amazing theme in terms of code and development… people can then style on top of it.
sweet. stay tuned.
yes, it'll be for sale.
Dude, you know I'd love to help ALPHA this baby. Holla if ya hear me!
designers would come and lay their canvas on top of it.
I'd love to alpha test!
no, it will be good for anyone. but it's some serious goodness.
Hey I’d love to help you out with alpha testing. It sounds amazing.
word up. it won't have a carousel out of the box, so, that might stop you.
That actually sounds like exactly what I've been looking for. I have design themes in my head, but can't seem to find a template that's close to where I want it.

Absolutely would love to Alpha-test on this! We're looking to change our site up (thepursuit.org) and move it to WP. This could be it. Trying. to. be. patient. (I just say and stared at the countdown timer for like 5 minutes!)

Would love to test this theme!
I would love to check it! I'm currently using the Atahualpa theme which is pretty good for a freebie.
I'd definitely be interested in testing it out
Can’t wait!
yes.
I’d love to test it.
I'll test it. If not for me, maybe my church. Finally moving them to WordPress

hmmm, I am looking out for a theme for my family blog (need to rename from Son of Mine to something else when my daughter is born) – so maybe this theme is a bit overkill.
but I would love to test it out

this theme is just a blog theme. it's pretty simple actually. not too impressive. but the code is.
I would be glad to test if you need a non-coding person to try to see if they can break it. : )

So is The Standard Theme seeking to compete with Thesis? Couldn't help but ask what with all the talk about out-of-the-box SEO, semantics, and theme development..
My recent post 2010: A New You Resolution
I'd love to play around with it. Looks pretty customizable from that screenshot.
Sweet! Definitely.
John
No. Not even close. Totally different approaches.
John
Wow, I like what you're describing. I'm currently using your Simpl3 theme, and I'm looking to change the theme to switch it up. I love customization… and standards. So, like dips.
Would love to help alpha testing! Bought your simple pastor theme and love it.
Would love to alpha test it! Just let me know what you are requiring/looking for in alpha testing it
Count me in on the Alpha Test!

Actually,
I have been in the market for a new theme. Let me know what kind of Alpha testing you need.
Count me in, I'm very interested.

Put my name in the alpha hat. I've always been functionality over form anyways.
Of course I'll test it dude!

Hey John, i would be VERY interested in getting in on this new wordpress theme. i have years of experience self hosting a wordpress install so i could seriously put it through the paces for you man. would love to help.
i have quite a few blogs i could use it on too.
thanks man, blessings from australia.
sounds good. stay tuned.
It feels weird saying this, but *ahem* nice back-end.
Seriously, though, from this snapshot, it's the best I've seen for interface.

John,
I'd love to help on your alpha-test. As a Thesis user, I can provide you some valuable feedback. Thanks!
I'm in the process of relaunching my blog. Would love to have a Ferrari under the hood.
Let me know.
