Hi All, I am looking to build a page for my new business. As I don't have masses of time to dedicate to it at the moment, I want a super simple page.
This is what I am after
Is there a theme that can do this? If not, any advice on how I might achieve this myself? Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
In general, WordPress themes are more about layout -- not the specific visuals -- like gradient backgrounds.
So what you want to do is look for a theme that has the homepage layout you desire. Theme demos load up the homepage with all the possibilities layout-wise via widgets or blocks. But you don't have to use them all.
What you describe should be possible with most themes (you just would not utilize all the widgets/blocks in the demo). Then, you should be able to change/add a background image that is a gradient via customizing the CSS (or creating gradients via CSS -- more on CSS gradients here).
As far as blocks over the top of the background -- that's what WordPress widgets/blocks do. If you don't want a widget area to have a background color and be transparent, you would again look at the CSS to make that change as well.
As far as gifs, that's not controlled by a theme either. You upload your files to your media library and insert them where you want them to display.
Does this help? 😉
