AccessPress Staple

It’s been a wild since I shared a free WordPress theme with my audience. There are so many free WordPress themes out there, it can be hard to sort through all of them. This week, I have a treat for you with the free WordPress theme of the week, called AccessPress. It has many different layouts and features that make it stand out from other free WordPress themes. Let’s take a look at AccessPress and why it is the free WordPress theme of the week.

Different Layouts

AccessPress has many different layouts to choose from, depending on the type of page you are looking to build. You can choose between a full width page, or a boxed layout. Personally, I like it much better when the website fills the entire browser. There are different page layouts for the portfolio section, as well as the blog section.

Templates

There are different page templates that you can use to create completely different layouts for your pages. You can have a page with the sidebar on the left, or one on the right. You can also have a page without a sidebar at all. For the portfolio page, you can choose a layout based on a grid, or you can create a list style portfolio page. The concept is the same for the about us page as well. There are even to layout options for the contact page, where potential clients or customers can get a hold of you.

The homepage is well-built, with a full size image sliding gallery at the top of the page.

You also have a section to showcase your services, as well as a bold colored pricing table that really jumps out as you scroll down the page.

Along with that, there is a scrolling section where you can display rotating logos of clients that you’ve worked with. This adds to your authority and builds trust with website visitors. This is a valuable asset to your business.

You can also introduce key members of your team on the front page. This is essential for putting a face with your business. People like having a connection with other people, and they are more likely to buy from a person, then from an entity.

There’s also a section where you can display numeric counters. This is a great place to put facts about your business. This could be anything from awards that you’ve won, or the vast number of clients that you’ve served.

If you have an active blog, where you regularly post articles related to your industry, you can post the latest articles on your home page. This drives traffic to your blog, getting people to read what you have to say. This can go a long way with building rapport with potential clients.

The last section on the home page is a rotating testimonials section. This can be a huge asset to your business, because people can see that you’ve worked with other businesses, producing desirable results.
