Let’s take a closer look at the reasons why the Pearsonified Skin is gonna rock your web design world.

Big Images, Big Videos, Big Impact

The Pearsonified Skin makes it easy to add a big header image to your site, but that’s only the beginning.

If you really want to spice up your posts or pages, you can add a featured image or video that will appear in the header image space at the top of the page.

Here’s what a page with a header image looks like (this is “default” look for your site):

Google Fonts

The Pearsonified Skin comes with an amazing Google Fonts integration that gives you out-of-the-box access to 69 unique fonts.

Although Google offers hundreds of fonts, only a select few of these contain the styles necessary to make them suitable for use in your content. Pearsonified creator Chris Pearson combed through every Google font and hand-picked the ones that are optimized for use in your content, so you can be confident the one you choose will look stunning.

Brilliant Color Scheme Selection

Changing your layout colors is easy—and fascinating—with the Color Scheme controls included in the Pearsonified Skin design options.

The first color swatch, which determines the primary color of your design, is where the magic happens. When you select a color here, Pearsonified uses that color to determine many of the other colors used in your layout.

Sidebar headings, for example, are presented in the best complement to your primary color. This takes the guesswork out of design and ensures your colors will always work well together.

Other elements like text highlights, buttons, and even your navigation menu are also based on your primary input color; the Pearsonified Skin handles all of this behind the scenes.

The end result is a simple input where you select a color, and the Skin outputs a beautifully coordinated color scheme based on your selection.

(In case you’re curious, Pearsonified uses the HSL color space and some basic math to determine complementary colors and to create your color schemes.)
