Not all Wordpress themes are created the same, and this was even more apparent as I was tasked with maintaining my bike club/team's site. Though most things were manageable, adding new posts and pages and uploading media, making any changes to the home page or navigation was a nightmare. The theme had custom templates for the homepage, and years and years of customizing and changing things left a lot of broken code.
I decided that not only would I update the theme to something more manageable, but I would redesign the site as well, bringing it a cleaner, more modern look, with simplified navigation.
The colors were already set for the site, red, white and grey, but it was a matter of how much of each to use, as well as deciding fonts and layout. The final design was done with Century Gothic, mimicking the feel of the club's logo.
Here is the site as it used to look:
And here is the new design:
