<br></div><div>I would look for "minimalist" Themes to start with. Honestly, the now-default WordPress Theme, TwentyTen, can probably be made to suit your needs. Simply remove the header image, and then add a background image, using the built-in Theme tools.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Most other Themes will probably work similarly to the way TwentyTen works, with respect to meeting your needs. So, if you need something more specific, you will likely need to look into developing a child Theme, forking an existing Theme, or developing one bespoke.</div>

<br></div><div>I am trying to use wordpress to build a very basic site with a background watermark, a logo and a few links to pages (about us, contact us, etc.) and have not found any theme that fits this need. I am not a programmer so looking for advice on which theme to use or if there is a way to build a basic theme myself without having to code it. </div>
