Press Box is a simple, striking theme for wordpress we're using in a few projects. It's a modern theme with a lot of options, and we've been enjoying it for a while. The demo is (essentially) the page you are looking at now (our entire site).
There are two options for enjoying Press Box:
Download the free limited version - You can download this version for free under a Creative Commons BY-ND License. This version is limited - it lacks some of the additional includes like the portfolio view, page templates and so on. It also has branding in the footer and sidebar - which we ask you not to remove.
Purchase Premium Version - You can purchase the premium version, which includes everything (all views, page templates, etc.), no branding and no learning mechanism for $45.00. This version also guarantees support (the free version has no such guarantee, although support might still be provided on occasion). If you are unsure about what version you want, this is the preferred option.
Every purchase helps us fund some of our research and programs. If you are interested in more permissive commercial use (such as reselling or bundling the theme), please contact us directly. The premium version doesn't necessarily entitle you to these uses. Similarly please contact us if you want the theme for use and you are a student, academic or a nonprofit organization.

Options - Plenty of Em.
There are even more little options to customize the theme. PressBox comes with at least four - Simple, Constrasty, Dark, and Professional. They all have a little personality and represent a great ...
Not Wordpress Agnostic
Wordpress has a lot of great options and features. Instead of pretending that they don’t exist, we try to take advantage of all of them. Things like: widgets, sidebars, categories (with descriptions!), ...
Side, Doubleside
PressBox makes use of two distinct sidebars. A main sidebar to display on your blog index and a mini bar that shows up everywhere else. The idea here is simple - you ...
Screen, System and Browser Tested
The theme was designed to look great on modern screens and modern systems. We’ve tested everything in all the popular browsers. Things look great in Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer 7 ...
Flexible
Things scale well in modern browsers, so no worries about accessibility on that front. There’s even a stylesheet to keep things clean on the printed page.
Semantically Microformatty
Microformats are coming, and we love to play around with what works. There is out of the box support for author microformat (great for multiple author blogs) and we’d like to work ...
Typographic Choices
We use Helvetica for most headers and for special emphasis. Georgia is used generally for reading text (like the text in a post). We use Verdana in a few offset regions of ...
Appropriately Messy
We aren’t professional theme makers. We make themes because we use them, and we think other people could too. At the same time, a lot of people like our themes. We don’t ...
