SimpleBasics is a responsive WordPress blog and news theme made for bloggers and
newspapers. Its elegant and minimalistic look makes it an attractive theme for writers
who wish to write about their view on food, fashion, travel, clothing, movies, or
their lifestyle in general. SimpleBasics is of course modern in the ways that it
is both fast and search engine optimized (SEO friendly) as a theme should be nowadays.
The sidebar allows widgets, Adsense affiliate links, or whatever else you wish to
put there. Installing and setting up the theme is simple for any author, we have
tried to optimize the user-friendliness by making the interface clean so it is as
easy as possible to set up and start using. If the business aspect is important 
for you, for example, if you are using it as a newspaper or personal writing/journalist
portfolio then it’s great since your website is able to rank everywhere on the internet
with our theme, for example in Yahoo, Bing or Google.
