Gigawatt is a video blogging theme designed by the ever so talented team of Trent Walton and Reagan Ray from Paravel.
As with any of our themes the brief was simple, design to your strengths but make sure that it’s as usable as can be. The end result is a gorgeous, vintage looking WordPress Video theme which manages to balance a grunge look with a minimal and flexible layout.
I just wanted to mention that working with Trent was awesome. Super responsive, professional and humble. I couldn’t have wished for a better experience working with a designer(s)!
Highlights of this theme include the portfolio section and the large, video focused post page with a detailed meta section in the sidebar.
Whether you use Vimeo, YouTube, Viddler or Blip, we cater for them all as Gigawatt can display videos from any 3rd party video hosting site! What’s even better than that is that if you want to use this theme to display photos instead of videos you can do that too, use up to 6 different filters when uploading your pics to make sure they are consistent across the site.
Some other cool features:
- Widgetized Home Page – Allows for unlimited videos to be displayed in a categorized format.
- Short URL Support – New addition to an Obox Theme, we are using Googles shorten url plugin.
- oEmbed Support – Simply cut & paste the url of your video and we will get the embed code for you!
