    [Note to mods purpously making to seperate posts as it’s two different questions]
    In addition to something like slak…

    I am at stage 0.6 making a nonproffit for a play-nice-works-well with others kind of place. It’s got a long way to go.

    I am now looking for some theme opinions. What themese would someone suggest I try that for a plays and works well together kind of nonproffit, that have a fun funky quirky kind of feel.
    For example Many years ago their was a comicbok inspired theme a classmate showed me that was rocked. The one I think I’m thinking of felt like you were reading afternoon cartoon. Lots of fun, no idea where it went though.

    I want some suggestions and opinions on some fun, funky quirky themes for a collaboration webesite. What themes do you guys suggest I try?
    (I am open to other ideas as well)

    I would recommend you list down some functional requirements, otherwise you’re going to have a hard time finding the theme that suits you.

    Good advice!
    I simply prefer as much as possible having plugins be what a website can do. And themes what it looks like.
    On the other hand as you remind me (pls correct me that i’m wrong), the blue print were bits and pieces of a theme do is simply a good idea.

    For feel: Fun, funky, quirky, lighthearted, and playful.

    Lay out: I tend to like basic oldfation ‘Fluid’ type themes. For example. I love starting with the fun “Adventure journal” theme, realy reely like that style of layout, nice and easy (to me anyway) font, and not particularly fancy.

    The nonproffit is still in very early stages. But I think will have a kind of quirky cantina thing. (Kid friendly thought).

    What want in a theme: and again if others have ideas by all meens. I want something with a basic mavbar. on the top a few catagories where to go in the site, trying to avoid people digging to find news. updates, how to donate. and where to find a brick and morter place, I think I want it to be fluid in that such that someone on a laptop or screen size I simply don’t have. It’ll still work fine. As my PHP skills are minimal some tweaks and customizations to taste or needs of the nonproffit. Place well with google fonts (a plugin can help here mabie). So as as concrete example the news section can have crisp simple font for headers, and a slightly bolder font for pargraphs. If possible also have it have background colors and pictures.

    Colore and theme of the them: I had pictured kind a nice mix of oak and wood colors or textures for posts. And nice fun pastels for headers.

    Does that help make what I’m picturing make more sense? Opinions?
    or are saying: uh please have some tea or coffe that post was as clear as mud.

    I realy reely like how tweak-able ‘Nirvana’ and ‘customizr'(sp) the layouts simply didn’t quite fit though. I looked briefly at ‘Material'(?) the one I’m thinking of had a realy nice plaful set of pastel colors and a fun fluid lay out. But didn’t have a simple navbar either on the top or side. I may simply have missed that.

    Thinking about this as I type: I simply don’t know. Does wordpress now have a way to say: hmm lets try different kinds of navbars now. I keep coming back to that because I want it to fun and simple to use the website.

    Just trying to help people with opinions on themes to try. ^_^
