LoveCraft: When Simplicity is Best

One of the reasons I love LoveCraft, by Anders Noren so much isn’t just because it’s free. It’s because it looks so good. It is carefully crafted to be elegant and simple. It’s clean, fresh and inviting. When you want visitors to be focused on your writing and not on flashy graphics, images or features, LoveCraft is it. Let’s take a look at the LoveCraft free WordPress and why I made it the theme of the week.

Elegance Trumps Flash

Sure, you could have a site with all kinds of bells and whistles, but people get tired of that after a while. Some of it is distracting and detracts from the actual content. When you want a site that looks beautiful, loads fast and is content focused, LoveCraft stands out.

Where I think LoveCraft succeeds is its use of space. Whether it’s space between elements or negative space overall, the site looks great. You want to read it, because the carefully crafted look focuses on content. The text looks so good that it is the main element of design.

Balance

Nothing looks like it is crammed together. Everything has been stripped away unless it was necessary to the design or usability of the theme. Just look at the footer of the theme. The 3 column layout gives the content plenty of room to breathe, making it easy to put anything in that space. Imagine Facebook comments, the latest tweets from Twitter, and more.
