Silverbow WordPress Theme
In the world of blogging, content is always king; but applying the wrong type of theme to a WordPress account can easily distract a reader from seeing what’s important — what you’ve written. And this is why there are themes like Silverbow that aim to provide you with a beautiful, attractive blog site but simple enough so as not to divert the visitors’ attention from your articles.
The Silverbow WordPress theme is a minimalist, WooCommerce ready blog theme that is easy to install and apply to WordPress. The standard layout comes with blog images and a white and grey color scheme that you can easily modify to make into your own. The live customization feature of Silverbow makes this possible, not to mention easy to accomplish.
Silverbow is fast to load, which makes it more enticing for your visitors. Also, there are numerous features that you will definitely benefit from when it comes to the development side of the equation. It is extremely important for any WordPress theme to be easy to install and manipulate based on what the blogger, in this case yourself, needs.
Here are some of the features that you can expect when you utilize the Silverbow WordPress theme:

Simple, minimalist, but highly effective, the Silverbow theme is worth considering for your blog site. Download it for free with the link below.
Thanks for downloading Silverbow, let’s get started!
- After installing the .zip package and activating Silverbow, you’ll want to style your homepage.
- To get a look that is close to the demo site, click on Appearance>Customize
- Select Theme Options>>Featured Area Settings.
- Click Enable Feature Slider and select how many slides you’d like to show. You’ll need to select your post category to show slides from the same category, so I created one just for the slider called…slides. Creative, right? That makes it easy to keep track of what you’re doing. So once you have your featured slides set up, you’ll want to add the promotion box images.
- Still under Theme Options, click on Promo Box Settings. You can upload images and type in titles directly into the three boxes, even add a URL to each one as I’ve done in the demo. It’s just that easy.
Most of the rest of the adjustments you can make are pretty much standard WordPress features, like changing the number of posts on the front page and so on.
We’ll keep this page updated.
While we think Silverbow is a fantastic free portfolio, WooCommerce and blog theme, though we know it might not be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Hey, everybody’s taste is a little different, right? Well, that being said, if you want more inspiration, checkout our collection of minimalist WordPress themes, WordPress personal blog themes or even WordPress portfolio themes.
