One of the things I’ve noticed about free WordPress themes: most of them seem to be exercises in design, that is, creating a "look" for a new blog. There is nothing wrong with that, but since I’ve never used an existing theme without major hacking, often until it would be unrecognizable to the theme designer, it seems like all that attention to how the theme looked was largely wasted.
Evo4 CMS will never be accused of being pretty and having a "cool look" as it unzips from the download file. It is not for casual bloggers who are looking for a "plug-and-play" theme. Instead, it is meant for professional-level designers who want to use WordPress as a CMS platform on which to build business websites with integrated blogs. Successfully turning the theme from the gray, blank canvas you see in front of you into a beautiful website will require a firm grasp of design skills, Photoshop skills, and maybe a bit of understanding of PHP; but it does not require major hacking. Designers can focus on design. And I hope to God their design looks nothing like what you see on this page, but is suitable for whatever business or organization the website represents (instead of looking like a site for a depressed undertaker).
Evo4 CMS is built to offer the most preferred webpage structure (subnav on left/main content right) and the most preferred blog structure (posts on left/sidebars on right), tied together by compatible footer widgets and header item placements in a 4-column grid.
