Best Minimalist WordPress Themes

If you are looking for a minimalist theme, don’t forget to check out Plaintxt.org collection of The Best Minimalist WordPress Themes section. I agreed with Scott, a minimalist design is not necessary a simple one. It is about achieving the fundamental without sacrificing aesthetic aspect of the object.

A blog theme must have a good balance of design vs content. A strong design may strike your visitors on the first look, but they eventually get overpowered by the visuals and could very well not remember the content of your site at the end of the day. But too plain of a design will simply be that of, dull and boring and lack that stickiness factor to retain visitors on your site.

So choose well and choose wisely in searching for a theme for your blog, as the saying goes: “Make Your First Impression Count!”

Web users form first impressions of web pages in as little as 50 milliseconds (1/20th of a second), according to Canadian researchers. In the blink of an eye, web surfers make nearly instantaneous judgments of a web site’s “visual appeal.” Through the “halo effect” first impressions can color subsequent judgments of perceived credibility, usability, and ultimately influence our purchasing decisions.
