Trying to figure out if there are any themes out there I could use to create a dashboard web site. (basically want to create something to point to all the ancillary services I use – backup, analytics, stock images, web host, etc.)
It is practically impossible to Google an answer – because once you use the term dashboard along with WordPress every result refers to the WordPress admin dashboard (whereas I’m just looking to create a site/page)
Anyone know of a dashboard-style theme?
You might want to head over to Themeforest.net and browse their wide selection of themes until you find something that’s modular like.
Otherwise you could create a very simple theme your self as I assume you’re going to be pulling in data from either RSS or API calls. You could effectively create the exact layout you want. This is what I have done as I didn’t want any unnecessary, non-specific items associated with such ancillary services.
Hint: Look for Pinterest style themes or themes which make use of jQuery/Masonry layouts.
You’ve tagged your question as wordpress.com, which means you’re limited to the themes that WordPress.com has installed.
If you wish to install a different theme you must setup wordpress on your own server, otherwise feel free to browse the selection of themes provided.
