Which theme for this layout

Permalink
I'm having trouble picking a theme, the layout i require is similar to this site, which is also created with concrete5http://clearviewreno.com/
Apologies for the question, i'm an absolute newbie to building websites.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Stefan

Seems like a custom job. You might want to hire someone to build what you are needing unless that was a template they used, but it doesn't seem like it.

Best,

Hiring is not an option right now, i've invested more than i have right now and i live in a booming but extremely fickle environment, as a result business is slow.

I'm not tring to copy the site, but the basic layout is similar to how i wan't my site, a suitable theme will get me on the way, as concrete 5 is so far much easier to use than the others and as i have time on my hands i'm determined to figure it out as best as i can.

Thanks,

Stefan

There is not anything that looks like that in the c5 Market Place. BUT you might be able to achieve a similar look (graphic on top with three columns/pictures underneath) with the Luminosity Theme:

This one might work as well. Neither are just like it but it is a start and they are clean and business like.

This also looks promising, but again it's a pay theme, i would happilt pay for a theme, in a month or two, but right now i have to go with the freebies, which i am absolutly grateful for.

Thanks,

Thanks for the link, i was looking at that site earlier, some nice layouts there, thing is now i want to incorporate a simple slide show on my home page, the default theme has this, maybe i should revert to the default theme, otherwise i will have to use a flash side show in dreamweaver, not what i really want to do as some users of my site may not have flash installed or want to install it.

I think i'll have a look at the default and pre installed themes, will just change my layout plans slightly, unless anyone comes up with something by the morning.

Regards,

Stefan

C5 core comes with an automated slide show creator. Don't revert to a theme you don't like just because of a slide show. You can create a slide show anywhere, on any page, in any theme with the C5 core slide show block.
here is a list of some other sites that have Concrete5 Themes:

http://concrete5studio.com/

it's a start...
I have a theme under review but if you like it you can preview it and download it at:http://www.rynomediaonline.com/serves/black-accents...

Thanks, I have started useing the core theme dark chocolate for my site, it seems to be going well so far, i'm finding concrete 5 very user friendly for me as a novice, for you pro's out there it must be giving excellent productivity.

Thanks
