Support » Themes and Templates » Theme recommendation for mainly non-blog website

  • Hello all,

    This question, I’m sure, has been asked before. But perhaps not from the viewpoint that I am bringing to the table.
    I am a fully blind web developer. I tend to work with frameworks like Laravel, Bootstrap, all sorts of stuff to get web applications out the door. Now for my own personal website, I don’t really want to do that. I want to quickly knock sout something that looks at least semi-professional. It will mainly be a static website with a blog page as a subsection (so that won’t be showing on the home page). Now the question of course is, what theme would fit these criteria? I have been googling and reading theme descriptions. Most of what I read pertains to themes that would work well on a blog, but as I said this is not my main focus.
    Custom widgets like a list of twitter tweets or facebook statuses are fine, I might add that to the front page. Adding sections to the main content area would also be very welcome.
    But I am sort of lost in all the options now. What is nice to look at in 2014? Is parallax still cool or has it gotten the ‘too fancy’ treatment yet? For obvious reasons I can’t really judge that. 🙂
    I briefly looked at the Divi Elegant Theme but it appears their control panel is slightly inaccessible (in this context meaning, hard to use with a screenreader). Their page builder is, since it is drag-and-drop, of course completely unusable so I quickly stepped off that option.
    Does anyone have a suggestion that might work for me?
    To specify slightly, the website will mainly be about the things I tend to specialize in : composing/producing all kinds of music, programming (mainly web development), translation and the learning of languages, teaching others etc.
    The blog would mainly be stuff I figure out or find interesting, while the rest of the website might offer samples of my work, tutorials for others to learn from, perhaps rates for services I can provide etc.

    I hope all this info can get someone further along than I am right now. Thanks a billion in advance. 🙂
