    My current site is only 960px wide (as far as I can tell) and I am looking for a wider theme to better show off my photography:

    http://www.marinhomephotography.com

    Any suggestions for a responsive / html 5 theme that I can use for a "similar" layout to my homepage?

    And ideally how wide should a site be nowadays?

    The main widget areas / widgets I am using on the home page are:

    -> Home Slider (has the Genesis Responsive Slider and a text widget in it)

    -> Home Left, Home Middle, and Home Right (each one has just a simple text widget in it)

    So I would like to find a theme with these widget areas built into it.

    ~~~~~~~

    Since I have the license to the Agency theme (my current site is using the older Agency 2), does anyone know if Agency 3 has those particular widget areas and is easy to remove the parallax image and colors? (I can do css but I am slow at it).

    Hi,

    Imagely, the makers of Nextgen Gallery, have just launched a new line of photography focused Genesis child themes: https://www.imagely.com/wordpress-photography-themes/

    For the widget areas, there is really no need to have separate left, middle, right widget areas if you are only showing text.
    You can use the built-in column classes.

    Thank you for the suggestions. I shall look into the themes.

    Are you familiar with the plugins they have? Are they worth getting too?

    I forgot all about column classes... :-/

    From what I hear, Nextgen Gallery has improved quite a bit.
    It might make sense if you have to deal with a lot of images.

    I tend to use Envira Gallery

    or
    FooGallery
