I wanted to find some bold, in-your-face type of themes, so I did some research. I noticed that a striking website doesn't depend on text or even color, but rather images. The larger the images on a website, harder it is to ignore them. It makes sense to have a large image(s) on your website if you're trying to evoke an autonomic emotional response after all humans are highly visual creatures. Images can also be tailored to  match the specific subject matter of your website. Basically, I've chosen WordPress themes that have large images as part of their design scheme. There are a lot of themes geared around large photos, but many of them are for photography sites. I ignored photography oriented themes and selected more generic designed in stead. I wanted to find themes any business could use who wants to evoke emotion from the visitor.<\/p>\n<p>So I've collected what I think are striking  <strong>bold WordPress themes<\/strong> from the internet. I've listed the Page Rank of the  themes authoring websites next to the themes demo link as an indication of credibility or popularity. I haven't tested these themes. I've also indicated whether the themes are  mobile device compatible next to the page rank.<\/p>\n<h3>Striking WordPress themes<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Them:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/themes.goodlayers.com\/greenearth\/\">greenearth<\/a> $50, from ThemeForest.com PageRank 7 (mobile device compatible) -\u00a0This theme has a slideshow that spans the entire width of the page.
