The Simplicitly theme for WordPress by Performancing is designed to be easily customizable, without compromising on aesthetics. It’s the perfect starting point for any Wordpress blog.

It’s a simple theme, with a hint of Magazine style, that is easy to build upon and is easily customizable through support of widgets and super-clean code. Simplicity is engineered to be highly accessible, work beautifully with a screen reader and uses the hAtom microformat.
Simplicitly is built to the latest Wordpress functionality with full support for built in tagging and widgets.
Simplicity is the first collaboration by Performancing with the449, a UK-based collective of designers. Simplicity was conceptualized and executed by the449, and is being distributed by Performancing under the Performancing Themes for WordPress brand.
Update: Simplicity has been updated for compatibility with WordPress 2.7 and up. Download the latest version here.

Nice. Clean, easy to read, and a good neutral color pallet to work from. Looks like it might also be flexible enough to add another column. Only item I would reco changing is to make the post headline from H2 to H1. Thanks.

I love this design, have downloaded it and is currently tweaking it to my desires. But why does not the WYSIWYG editor work? The formatting I make using the editor is not displayed on the side at all. Is there a quick fix to this issue? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Rune,
I’m having the exact same problem. Italics, bold, bullets, none of them show up on the site. But at the same time the formating does look properly when the posts are viewed in my RSS feed.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I removed this from header.php.
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”/reset.css” media=”all” />

I’m using this on my blog http://momcooks.net, still tweaking the colors and such. I’m having trouble changing the nav hover from that dark green, but I’ll puzzle it out eventually.
