A New Blank Premium WordPress Theme

By Cory Miller

If you’re looking for a stripped down WordPress theme that’s highly customizable and perfect for your small business website, look no further than the Blank WordPress Theme from iThemes.

This new theme is based on the layout of our Essence Theme Series, only it’s void of all the neat graphical touches that made us want to call it Essence in the first place. We pulled those out so you can easily customize it.

It includes most of the features of the Essence series like:

Drop-down menus
Static home page
Integrate blog templates
Multiple inside page templates

Purchase this theme for $79.95, or buy the Essence Multi-Use Package and get all 6 color styles for just $199.95.

You can go test drive this theme here.
