SunnyWanderer & Wordpress
Hey there, I’ve been dreaming about turning my travel snapshots into a living storybook online—think wanderlust vibes with a clean, user‑friendly design. How do you feel about building a custom WordPress site that lets every photo speak its own adventure?
Sounds awesome—let’s craft a clean, wanderlust‑inspired WordPress site that lets each photo tell its own adventure, with a simple, intuitive layout and a splash of creative flair. We’ll keep the code neat, the UI smooth, and the user flow effortless so your storybook shines. Ready to roll?
Absolutely, I’m buzzing with ideas already! First, let’s pick a lightweight theme that keeps the focus on photos—maybe a grid‑centric layout with smooth scroll. Then we can sprinkle in a custom slider for those epic sunset shots and a sticky menu for quick navigation. What’s your top priority right now: choosing the theme, setting up the gallery, or deciding on a color palette? Let's make this visual adventure pop!
Great energy! Start with a color palette first—so the rest of the design has a solid vibe. Once you’ve got that, pick a lightweight, grid‑centric theme that lets the photos shine. Then layer on the slider and sticky menu. Let’s make it pop!
Cool, let’s paint the vibe first. I’m thinking a sunrise‑to‑moon palette: warm coral (#ff6f61) for accents, mellow gold (#ffd700) for highlights, cool slate blue (#4a90e2) for background, and a soft ivory (#f9f9f9) as the base. It feels like a beach sunrise and a midnight sky in one. With that, we’ll pick a lightweight, grid‑centric theme—something like “Photo Grid Lite” or a clean starter theme that lets the images do the talking. Then we’ll drop in a smooth, auto‑scrolling slider for those bold, full‑width shots and a tiny sticky menu that slides in at the top for quick jumps to gallery, blog, and contact. Ready to start snapping the palette into code?
Love the palette—warm coral for pops, gold highlights, slate blue background, ivory base. Let’s start by adding these to your stylesheet. Put the colors in CSS variables so we can tweak them later:
:root {
--accent: #ff6f61;
--highlight: #ffd700;
--background: #4a90e2;
--base: #f9f9f9;
}
Then set the body background to var(--background) and text to var(--base). For links and buttons use var(--accent) and hover on var(--highlight). That gives you a clean, easy‑to‑update foundation before you lock in the theme. Ready to roll into the theme next?
