Sometimes you want just a white page - to display a simple message - or a blank canvas to create the next Google on top of. Here at Wordpress Theme Me we are having a minimalist challenge - send in your suggestions for the most plain, white, back to basics theme you can find. Our leading contender uber-white themes coming at you!
The back to basics theme that the experts use, when they want to create their themes from (almost) the ground up. I have utter respect for plaintxt.org for making this available. If it’s back to basics you want, give this theme a whirl.

Ok, this might look like the opposite of a blank Wordpress theme, but after much searching, it’s my best bet. Why’s that? Well, for one it’s an elegant single column, meaning once you strip it back to nothing, you have an all white page with everything centered (two or three column themes will pull everything out of whack). The other nice thing is this theme comes with a nice navigation bar you can alter and leave in, if you still want some navigation.
In the next few weeks I’m going to strip this right down and widen the column out (I’ll even throw in the code you can cut and paste in to do it) to make the World’s Best all-white theme. Not to hype things too much…

Blog.txt is for those white-ites who also want to blog. It’s a pretty famous one that comes from plaintxt.org - the makers of Sandbox (above). We’ll post some groovy variations of this theme like Jotsheet soon. Here’s a screenshot.
Test Run • Download • Designer’s Website

Another great output from the very same studio, this one could be used as a blank template, or as the basis for a magazine. See this site for a great use of the theme for that purpose. We have a separate section with other minimal magazine styles here.

Punjab could easily get lots as just another Wordpress theme with some picture in the header, amongst thousands like it in a megadirectory. But don’t be fooled. Remove the header, and you have a classy all-white theme, with header space built in, so you can easily add your own logo or design. Holding it here for prosterity for you!

Many, many more uber white themes coming soon…
Including an example of veryplaintext shopyield…
