TrailerFlick.com - WordPress in its Lightest Form
The more and more I learn about WordPress, the easier my life becomes in relation to web design and development. It seems like every site I make just makes more sense when built with WordPress in mind. Case in point… I just relaunched a fun project site of mine called TrailerFlick.com using the most basic WordPress functionality.
The latest TrailerFlick.com theme proves that more is not always necessarily better. No RSS feeds, no single pages, no comments… just a very simple, easy and clean theme that allows users to browse and view movie trailers within 1 or 2 clicks. Several components add to the experience such as the image link hover script from CSS Globe and the wonderful “mediabox” lightbox script from iaian7.com.
I will be adding many more movie trailers within the next few days or so, but you can already view several great trailers right now at TrailerFlick.com.
After receiving dozens of positive comments and suggestions, I have updated TrailerFlick.com and have enabled commenting as well as RSS. Hope you continue to enjoy TrailerFlick.com even though its not quite as “light” as it was before.

Awesome implementation. A perfect blend of WP and Ajax.

Great looking theme !
But why have you got bottom padding of 300px in footer?
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:17 am
That was done purposely to allow the last row of movie trailers to scrolled up to eye level.

Just a shame that it is hard to prosecute when things like that happen.

Hi Jason..do u think about release this theme or a theme like this..Im trying to make a site look like trailerflick.If you dont think about release a theme can u give me some tips about how to get this kind of structure in wordpres..Thanks..

Hey Bilal… I might be releasing a theme similar to this in the future, but probably not any time soon. I can’t even seem to find time to finish my WPE video gallery theme.

This is simple and Perfect. But what if there is more than 1 trailer for same movie? any other way to keep them on same poster link, instead of inserting link same as new movie trailer.

I just found your website as a recommended feed in my google reader and I have to say that trailerflick is an AWESOME design. I love wordpress and am always finding new uses for it and this site definitely shows me something new.
Great work!
