3 Ideal Video Themes for your WordPress Blog
Over the years, the internet has undoubtedly evolved. From the traditional websites paying very little attention to aesthetics, to the web 2.0 revolution resulting in websites that are more interactive and feature-filled, the internet is assuredly more powerful than it was in the past. Besides changes in terms of the uses of the internet, other aspects have also changed. With the incessantly increasing internet speeds, rich media has now taken stage. Videos are used to portray content whenever possible. With the growth of video sharing websites such as Youtube and major sites using videos as the primary media for content, it is apparent that individuals are a lot more receptive to video. Developing a website using video as the primary medium for content delivery is an excellent idea; unfortunately there are a few negative implications.
If you are looking for readymade themes, you may be looking for some time as while demand for video is growing, there are a relatively few websites which solely use video to publish content. To help you find an ideal theme, we’ve gathered some of the best video themes from around the web that runs on the WordPress platform.
If you have been looking for themes for a while, it would be rather surprising if you haven’t stumbled across WooThemes. WooThemes is known for its impeccable WordPress templates that are sold at a surprisingly low price. As you might guess, Woo Tube has been developed by the WooThemes team and this template is just as impressive as their other themes showcased on their website. If you are looking to develop a website primarily focusing on video, Woo Tube would be a great option.
The theme has been tailor made for videos. Among the numerous features, some notable ones include the embed video being automatically formatted and resized when published as well as support for a range of video sites including Youtube and Vimeo. The site at first glance has a resemblance to the Youtube website. Finally, Woo Tube goes a step further by making it usable for other type of websites that don’t focus mainly on video as well.
VideoZoom is not too far off from Woo Tube. It features an elegant design that seamlessly integrates videos and displays them on the website prominently. Posts on the website have the thumbnail of the videos as well which will entice users to browse more and stick around. One difference from Woo Tube would be that the interface looks similar to a blog rather than a video sharing website such as Youtube.

The preferences provided seem pretty simple and straightforward however there are a few nifty, additional features available (such as the color picker) that should make life easier when customizing your design preferences.
