20 amazing WordPress themes suited for education projects

It was approximately 358 BC when Plato founded the Akademia, first institution of higher learning. It’s useless to say that at that time education wasn’t attainable for all the people.
The world evolved in the next 2300 years and education became approachable for anyone interested. Education became a universal right and society progressed along with it.
More than that, along with society development education developed many branches according to nowadays requirements. Primary education can be found almost in any human settlement, any region has a high school and some cities have even more high schools, not to mention the big cities that have at least one college.
The world evolved indeed and we are witnessing its evolution. As you sensed from our introduction, there’s no evolution without education and education evolves accordingly.
This statement is not novelty for none of those who read this. It’s a fact that couldn’t be more obvious than it already is.
Along with education development, more and more education providers appeared to satisfy the demand. It sounds like an economy class but we must face the facts. It’s all about economy. With competition growing, all educational institution felt the need to improve their appearances in order to attract more students.
Going online was a small step in this world of competition and what is more interesting is that it didn’t happen recently. It’s years since educational institution are offering a detailed description of their work, of their results, of students results in the online environment.
Why is today more special than yesterday? Maybe because of the looks. An ancient activity becomes new and more interesting with the proper presentation. To sustain this, we chose a few themes that perfectly illustrate the model of an education project.

Academy

1
It is not a coincidence that we start with Academy. The old ancient Greek name and the idea of online learning are best proof of education’s evolution. All in all a serious theme that offers exactly what is supposed to offer – educational plans.

Education

2
Education is a classic example of how an education website should look like: simple, serious and right to the point, providing exactly the information needed for any interested student.

My College

3
Sometimes offering as much details as possible could be the winning card. My College is one of those websites that will not leave any question unanswered.
It sure attracts students to education.

Park College

4
When so customizable a theme couldn’t be anything but a success. Any client in search for a theme will appreciate the theme as if they were more for the same price. With all education features included, it comes with a plus in multitude of ways of presenting them.

Driving School

5
Often described as minimal, this type of theme offers more than needed for a small business. Again, although described as fitted for small businesses, its adaptive construction can fill any requirement in the education area.

Campus

6
As opposite to minimal websites there are multipurpose themes. The big advantage of such a theme is that it may be fully customized according to owner’s needs and users’ requirements. All in all we have a complete theme that may become the perfect theme for educational projects if needed.

EDU

7
Just when we were talking about multipurpose themes, it comes a theme special built for education projects. This fact is forcing us to say that when it comes to education there is a word than can describe better this theme than any other – complete.

WPLMS

8
There’s nothing more suited for online curses than a fresh, modern looking website. At this chapter we couldn’t skip WPLMS.
Since online courses are more and more used, a website like WPLMS represents the future of education. The big words used in the prior statement are well covered by this modern theme. Don’t take it for granted; check it yourself.

Statfort

9
Statfort brings us the perfect mixture between classy and modern, between traditional and nonconformity, between old and new. All in all it brings us results. A website looking like this, with so many features and with so many customization options can be only a hit.

Universe

10
Universe is another example of classical adapted to modern environment. As any other theme special built for this purpose it gathers all required features combining them in a modern theme.

University

11
This is what complete really means. There is no area in education that University doesn’t cover. And if you find any, the flexibility and customization option will allow you to update it.

Grand College

12
Just when you say you found the theme, another one comes more powerful and more complete. Grand College has all ingredients to compete for the complete education website. It inspires education.

Guru

13
Another learning management system is Guru. This theme will help both students and professors. In the online courses area, it sure has its place. Take a look and let yourself taught.

Buntington

14
Buntington is another website built for education purposes. It gives all the necessary information in a manner accessible for any user. Well structured, sober, it looks exactly as an education related project.

Clever

15
When it comes to online courses, Clever is definitely the clever choice to make, if you allow me the pun. Like many other competitive themes it gathers all the features an online learning management system should have. Offering a multitude of choices for courses presentation, selling or buying it is for sure one of the best themes in this category.

LMS

16
LMS is another mesmerizing theme created for the online learning area. While other websites are giving a modern look to the old idea of education, LMS gives a classy aspect to much newer idea of online learning.

University

17
Since University is a common name among education themes, we chose a theme with the same name as a prior one. Is there any room for comparison? Sure, but this is not our purpose. We are just glad to present you another amazing theme. With a dynamic look, University fully showcases the meaning of modern. Should we say that it comes with more variants?

Crafty Hands

18
A fresh perspective on a branch of education is always welcome. That is why we chose Crafty Hands for this list. It doesn’t differ much on the other themes but it has something special. A dynamic perception on learning, a new vision, these are only a few of the characteristic of this theme.

Kindergarten

19
In order to cover more areas from educational field, we chose to showcase here this theme also. Kindergarten is close to any other education related theme when it comes to information provided. The major difference lays in its look. It couldn’t be other than joyful and colorful as a theme related to kids should be.

Carry Hill

20
Let’s remain in children’s education area with Carry Hill. As intended, it suits for elementary schools. Comparing to previous themes we observe the mixture of seriousness required for colleges or higher education institutions, but it slips a little of childish in its structure.
As stated at the beginning of this post, evolution requires education and education requires evolution. In a changing world the power to adapt is essential. The themes we showcased here are only a few examples of how education should or could appear online.
Also for evolution reasons, we will gladly wait your opinions regarding this issue. As in Plato’s Akademia, more than 2300 years ago, dialogue will guide us to progress.
And even for a more crowded and interesting dialogue, share this post with your friends on social media.

20 wonderful Blogger themes

A good design remains a good design, no matter the context. It’s obvious that the content is the one that makes the difference, but it’s extremely difficult for an average user to identify useful pieces of information when dealing with a poor design. The widespread idea that quality will always shine and it will be discovered by someone is still valid, but it’s useless to wait for the respective moment. The modern entrepreneurs or website owners know that time is the most precious entity and the design of a layout is working as a catalyst. The more appealing is the design, the more chances are to have a heavy visited website. As everywhere in our lives, the originality is highly appreciated in the online environment. Definitely, a good looking original design is the key to success.
Theoretically, everything is simple, but to put in practice is a whole different thing. Quality requires passion, talent and hard work and this combination is difficult to achieve. Deeply studying the quality works of other designers is a good source of learning and we strongly encourage this manner of sharpening the skills.
Today we showcased 20 good looking and original Blogger themes. 100% sure, by checking them, you will have a better idea about what quality design really means. Of course, you may buy them if you are interested. Blogger is a great platform and it assures the perfect foundation for a great online presence.

20 modern visually appealing Drupal themes

WordPress is the most famous and used content management system (CMS) and its position seems that won’t be endangered in the immediate future. The great advantage of WordPress is its universality and the fact that people accustomed to it. In fact, there are many other CMS that are as simple and user-friendly as WordPress is, but people don’t care about them. As long as a theme and some plugins may transform a basic WordPress website into any kind of projects, the lack of interest for other CMSs is normal.
Drupal is one of the best CMS, but only approximately 2.1% from the total of online presences are build using this solution. It’s very subjective to express a decent opinion if this percentage is small of big. It will be great to have your opinion about, so feel free to use the comment form to let us know your thoughts about Drupal.
The Drupal community is very active and in the last time the endeavors of the Drupal developers are more obvious. The latest themes created are really wonderful and we already exhibited here some of the most beautiful ones. The Drupal theme creators developed amazing themes from the latest post published here and it’s time to offer you a new set of amazing themes. Check them, enjoy and use these in the eventuality that you are interested in purchasing a Drupal theme.

Spring

Spring a Drupal theme that is suitable for portfolio projects. It’s retina ready and responsive, based on Bootstrap 3, the user may choose from 5 different homepages and he/she has unlimited options to customize the theme.

Nevermind

2
Nevermind is a great Drupal theme that may be used for a large variety of projects. It is very modern, the cleanliness, the cool and readable typography and the dynamic page transitions being some of the features that contribute to the modern look of the template. The user may choose a boxed or a wide layout and there are many other options to tailor the theme according to the needs.

Bedford

3
Retro is always cool and Bedfort is a great example to sustain this idea. This Drupal theme is very simple, but at the same time, very complete. It is aimed for portfolios or blogs, but its destination must be in accordance with the retro design. Despite its retro aspect, Bedfort is responsive and retina ready, so it may be enjoyed no matter the device used.

Shoot

4
If you want a complex Drupal theme, then Shoot is really a solution. It comes with 20 different versions so there is nothing more to add…practically, it’s impossible not to be satisfied by at least a single version.

Mukam

5
Mukam is another brilliant theme and its features speak for themselves: fully responsive, retina ready, 8 different headers, 8 top sections, 20 sliders, various animation effects and Google maps and video integration.

Cleanse is a pure flat Drupal theme that is suitable for portfolios. Beside the beauty of flat design, this theme was added here due to the nice colors and due to the smart use of white space.

Real Estast

This theme is perfect for real estate projects. The white background let the user fully focus on the images and contributes to express luxury and quality. The forms of the advanced filter convinced me that this theme is designed by a skilled team.

Flat Metro

8
Metro is another design approach much debated these days. Flat Metro is a Drupal theme that is Metro inspired, it’s extremely simple, but paradoxically, it’s multipurpose. Obviously, it may be fully customized so there is no worry that your website may look alike others.

Progressive

9
Progressive is a very complex Drupal theme that contains more than 200 items. It has all the webpages for any kind of projects, including 404 webpage. What impressed me is that there isn’t just a single version of 404 webpage…the template has three solutions.

Stilo

10
If you are searching for a Drupal theme suitable for a modern portfolio, then Stilo is for you. It’s simple and elegant, the generous white space let the viewer enjoy the items showcased and the nice sliding and page transitions create a very modern atmosphere.

Minima

11
It’s normal to add it in this list a theme that is minimalist. No matter the trends, a minimalist website would be always highly appreciated. Now, it’s the case of Minima- a minimalistic theme that offers many customization options.

Flatize

12
Flatize is an e-commerce Drupal theme that almost sure will satisfy even the most demanding tastes. There is nothing to distract the viewers, but at the same time, the website is complete. Obviously, it may be easily customized and it has even a blog section.

Beige

13
Beige is another modern theme that is multipurpose. It’s built on Bootstrap framework, but you shouldn’t be afraid that there would be other websites looking alike to it because the developers of it really tried all their best. Beige would captivate anyone attention due to the slide effects and due to the bold buttons.

MDST

14
MDST is a very original Drupal theme that will amaze everyone with the unconventional menu. The submenus are situated at the extremities of the layout…how many websites did you visit having such a menu? Another original idea is the use of horizontal scrolling…definitely, the theme is developed taking into account the mobile users.

PSDN

15
The ones that need a colorful and joyful online presence should visit PSDN, a great Drupal theme. It’s one of the purest flat constructions, so you have all the reason to check it and eventually to buy it!

This theme is in opposition with the previous one from the color perspective. Wunderkind is a one page website that is based on a mostly black and white combination. The theme contains 4 different homepages, 15 premade color skins, Font Awesome icons, extensive documentation and many other features that can’t be ignored.

Montage

17
Montage is a special theme because it brings a new type of layout into the market. I strongly recommend visiting this theme, the words are powerless in these cases. The alignment is totally new and the dynamic effects are cool; I may bet that none will become bored with such an online presence.

Elos

20 amazing WordPress themes for entertainment projects

“Dreams won’t work unless you do.” Though I don’t remember the author of this statement I guided myself according to this. I’m quite sure that many of you agree and act accordingly.
Work is an important part of our lives and no matter the area of activity, we follow pretty much the same patterns. The evolution changed in many ways the work we do but it didn’t change the need itself for work. Either we like it or not, we have to work.
Another undeniable fact is that we are not robots. We can’t work 24/7. We have enough energy for a daily job, for daily jobs if there are many, we have energy for any freelance activity we might have but we always need a break. I began my idea saying that we are not robots but also the robots need maintenance.
There are many ways people choose to “recharge the batteries”. Listening to music, enjoying the good food in a quiet restaurant or simply a lunch break in a café are only a few choices people make in order to come back fresh and ready for work.
While some people enjoy their leisure time, other people must work in order to make this possible. Those involved in entertainment industry know this better than anyone else. The same rule applies in the design area too. When entrepreneurs need an astonishing online presence, designers must work hard to provide quality.
Creating websites related to entertainment is a pleasant job. Designers have the chance to be as creative they can. This job still requires a lot of work since people with various tastes will be the judges for their work.
I am afraid that too many words will keep you away from the true meaning of entertainment projects as seen online. Let’s get closer to it by analyzing some WordPress themes related to this.

Berg

1
For those willing to design a theme for a restaurant, Berg is a fine example. No need to say that is functional on many levels (any nowadays responsiveness is a mandatory condition for any website). With many other interesting features like blogs, galleries, booking section, Berg is a really tasty theme.

Angkloong

2
If I were into music industry my website would look pretty much like Angkloon. This is a complete theme for any music project. Shop, event list, photo and video galleries and blog sections cover all areas of a music project.

Smooth

3
What I always loved in design was originality. There is no surprise as all those who benefit from this love the same thing. Smooth is a theme that shows a lot of originality. Great ideas are simple and this theme fully emphasizes this. It covers all areas of a music project in a simpler manner by highlighting the exact information needed to be offered.

Triven

4
The expression culinary art used to describe the food making process finds from time to time its true meaning. Extremely talented chefs transform an ordinary habit into an art. Triven is the theme that makes the design an art in the restaurant business. Although a multipurpose theme, it is perfect for a restaurant project.

Colette

5
Colette is a perfect WordPress theme for any restaurant, brasserie, pub, bar or any other restaurant business. This theme is focused both on interacting with the online audience and on products provided.

Unlike other themes designed as multipurpose themes, Kataleya is special designed for restaurants, pizza and coffee shops. The best part is that it contains 3 themes, one for each particular business. A delight, isn’t it?

Spikes

Showcasing a list in design industry is always a challenging task because of the many possible choices. Unfortunately this list is more or less subjective. If there are themes that you find suited for this list, share with us your opinion. Also don’t forget to share this post with your friends via social media.

20 fresh wonderful Tumblr themes

Tumblr is a fascinating microblogging platform and the huge number of users is the most convincing evidence to make everyone take it into consideration. Despite of Tumblr popularity, the name and the story of its creators are less or more famous.David Karp is Tumblr founder and CEO; he is only 28 years old and he didn’t graduate the high school! Yeah, Karp dropped out the high school at the age of 15 years old. It’s unbelievable how he and his parents give up to everything in order to construct and market a microblogging platform. Fortunately, Tumblr is a huge success and he is one of the youngest famous entrepreneurs.
The web designers couldn’t stay farther from this network and created themes to enhance the Tumblr accounts. Of course, it was a good idea because lot of people wanted to customize their accounts. In present, more and more designers create impressive Tumblr themes and people buy these almost instantly.
We previously showcased impressive Tumblr themes, but now it’s time for a fresh set of 20 wonderful ones. The collection is made up from fresh themes, so you may purchase one to enhance your Tumblr account!

Flud

1
Many designers are against hamburger menu, but still none come with a better solution. Flud is a great responsive theme but it has a defect. I think that the hamburger menu from the right part of the header is too small when it’s rendered on desktop format. It’s a personal opinion and I am really curious to know your opinion about. Except this fact, the theme is well-designed and get the greatest mark at the cleanliness aspect.

Eris

2
Tumblr main aim is the wide spreading of information using a concise, simple and intuitive platform. It’s said that an image is worth 100 words, so a Tumblr page sharing impressive images is the climax of this idea. Eris is a practical good looking example of this idea. Obviously, it’s suitable for photographers’ portfolio.

Creeps

3
Creeps is a responsive and retina ready Tumblr theme. It supports all type of Tumblr posts and it has widgets that show the latest activities on social networks as Instagram and Flickr, Disqus comments, and the documentation is well written. At that, the theme is suitable for any kind of project so it deserves its place in this collection!

Admiral

4
Admiral is a complex masonry layout based theme. It supports all types of Tumblr posts, but also the users are able to submit posts or ideas, the search form is awesome, off-canvas content and free future updates are just a part of the Admiral features and these must convince you to pay attention to it.

Politicize

5
Politicize is another complex Tumblr theme that is looking almost similar to a WordPress one. It’s designed for politic parties or public personas and its structure is complex due to the fact that it must cover all the aspects specific to these projects. As example, this theme includes a donate button, a RSS feed, “team” and “About us” sections that are uncommon elements for Tumblr pages.

Prospekt

6
Prospekt is built using a unique Masonry layout. The innovative idea is the fact that the user may double the width of some posts in order to highlight the importance of these. The theme is very customizable, but I like very much the current dark style that pleasantly emphasizes the content.

Inferno

7
Low poly backgrounds are very used this year and if you want a trendy theme, then Inferno may be a solution. Infinite scrolling, the full tailoring of the header, sidebar portrait and background, the multiple typography options are some interesting features of this quality theme.

Quila

8
It was impossible not to add in this collection a minimalistic theme. Quila is a black and white minimalistic theme that is very suitable for blogs because the design is specially created for the perfect reading experience.

Visto

9
“Simplicity is the essence of happiness” is the slogan of the header and I really appreciate this idea. Visto is a theme suitable for blogging as the previous one, too. Altogether, the style of Visto is way more warm and happy. I think that this theme is a source of making everyone feel better and in addition to proper content the success is guaranteed.

Mars

10
Mars is a Tumblr theme that is destined for portfolio projects. The style is very joyful and the colors are playing a big role in making this theme visually appealing. It’s responsive and retina ready, so the users will have the same enjoyable experience regardless the device used.

Vesper

11
Vesper is the standard Tumblr theme for photographers. It is dedicated to exhibiting photos…nothing more or less. The theme is simple, but it doesn’t mean that it’s incomplete, it just let the photos specking for themselves.

Agency

12
Agency is built using Bootstrap which isn’t something common, but the final result is really cool. Another unusual feature is the video background, but it looks cool, too. It’s a complex theme and it is aimed for business purposes.

Gradiente

13
Colorfulness and cleanliness are somehow two opposite concepts and I thought until I saw this theme that their combination isn’t a good idea. Gradiente is a theme that made me to reconsider this idea. It’s fabulously how a theme may be full of colors, but in the same time very clean. It will be much better to check yourself to see this theme!

Oblivion

14
Oblivion is the perfect choice for journalists. The posts may be featured and added into categories, the infinite carousel is main piece of the theme and the tag cloud is assumed from WordPress. It’s a very original theme and it will work as a magnet for users.

Dining Around

15
Warning: this theme isn’t suitable for blogs and it’s not recommended to check it if you are hungry. Just kidding…yeah, the theme isn’t suitable for any type of blogs because it supports only text posts; even the developers mentioned this fact but it’s the best theme for a food blog. It’s impossible not to remark the wonderful design and the care for details, i.e., the users have the possibility of printing the recipes.

Edge

16
Edge is a very elegant and modern theme. The flat design based layout and the cool sliding effects immensely contribute to the modern look of the theme and surely attract the eyes of the readers. The theme is very customizable, so the ones that want to more powerful express their personality must be happy with this theme.

Amanra

17
Amanra is built on Isotope grid and it looks really great. The beauty of colors and the boxed format of the posts are two big advantages of this theme. Of course, there are many other interesting features and I think that you should consider this theme as a reliable solution if you want to personalize your Tumblr presence.

Moveone

18
The ones that have a startup and want to have a standing apart Tumblr theme should visit Moveone. The flat design, the complex structure, the multitude of widgets and the truly awesome sliders will impress the potential clients. It’s not an exaggeration to state that this theme has the potential to increase the profits.

Hyperion

19
Hyperion is a very simple theme and its design makes the reading a real pleasure. The background is white while in the header are used darker color and in this way is assured a smart color balance.

Moa

20
Deliberately, I let this theme at the end of this collection. The idea behind Tumblr is to build a simple, concise and interesting online presence. This theme is 100% a practical example of Tumblr mentality and I consider that it will became a hit in the Tumblr themes marketplace.
I hope that these themes would be appreciated by the readers and it will be great to have a feedback from you. Do you have a Tumblr account?

20 top selling WordPress themes

From its very beginning until nowadays Internet is continuously growing and much more than that, in the last several years this growth was faster and faster. That led to a migration of almost anything that surrounds us into online.
No matter what you’re looking for, you will most likely find it online. There are many beautiful things in life that must be kept outside Internet, but I’m one of those who thinks that this invention influenced our lives for better.
From many things that Internet changed for good and forever was the business environment. New jobs appeared, new ways of selling, new rich people… For all of us that we are trying to reach the peak, there are many things to learn. If we pay attention we may see that success has some patterns. Into web designers’ community there are many friendly and helpful people, but still the competition is harsh. No matter the amount of opportunities there are more people staying in line to take advantage of them. I think all of us know what web design is about: skills, hard work, continuously preparation, communicating with clients. Although the patterns are well known by anyone in this area, there are some who really turn the opportunities in their favor.
Since WordPress was released until the very moment you are reading this, there were people, web designers that saw the opportunity. Selling WordPress themes is only one of the many activities that may bring you success. We showcased from time to time amazing creations, but I suggest you to take a look at the very best. Is not an easy job to compare creations in which subjective opinions may occur, but at least from any point of view we may call them that way, the best- because they are top selling WordPress themes. That being said, let’s take some insides.

It is a custom to save the best for the last. This time I chose to start with the best for a better illustration of how a theme should look like. Avada is the perfect pick for any kind of website. It gathers all the must have criteria: it’s responsive, retina ready, it has many cool sliders, many customization options; all in all, it is a complete template which offers more than one website for buyer. No wonder is #1 selling WordPress theme.

uDesign

2
I take a look from time to time to the client’s comments on a theme. I must say that this is not the best criteria to evaluate someone’s work, but it can provide some useful information. For uDesign the clients emphasize an important aspect – the support. uDesign convinced me that next to the quality of their work (a fully responsive website, SEO optimized, unlimited customization options) is something very important in any business and in particular this business – satisfying the clients’ needs.

Karma

3
Karma is coming with a more playful approach. There is no harm to be that way when creating a theme; what matters more is to find the proper usage for such a theme.

Striking

4
Striking got my attention for its photo sliders. I think it is ideal for any business that uses many pictures or even for a personal presentation website. I encourage you to take a look; it might suit you.

Enfold

5
If Striking doesn’t satisfy your demands regarding the portfolio you have to present, than Enfold is the answer. It can be used in many ways but for such a purpose like a portfolio is just perfect.

King Size

6
I rarely make statements regarding the best or the worse theme as each of them has its uniqueness. When it comes about King Size I have to do it though. It is the best photo theme that I’ve seen it so far. Don’t take it for granted, check it!

Modernize

7
Moderinze is an appropriate name for this theme. It shows a good mixture of classy, simple and modern. All in all, it’s a WooCommerce based template that would make a great website no matter the usage of it.

Infocus

8
inFocus is offering in fact not one but three themes. It’s a real bargain because all three are fully customizable, fully responsive, in fact we get three themes paying just for one. It seems to me a serious reason to take a look.

Core

9
Sometimes less is more. Core fully uses the meaning of this saying. And what is more important, its minimalistic design doesn’t lack any important feature. It is just perfect for websites entirely focused on portfolios.

Dandelion

10
Dandelion is very suitable for creative agencies that want to let the user to focus only on the items uploaded. This theme is very discrete and simple, it’s impossible to distract the user.

Mayashop

11
MayaShop have a design very similar to the precedent theme; it’s simple and unobtrusive. Altogether, this theme is destined for e-commerce activities. In spite of its simplicity, the user have all the conditions to make the desired purchases.

Kallyas

12
Kallyas is another fine example of a complete WordPress theme. The bad news is that adding this theme to your WordPress powered website will take longer than usual because it’s extremely difficult to select only few webpages to add. No doubt that this theme is one of the best!

Dynamix

13
This theme is another example of how should look a multipurpose WordPress theme: unlimited customization options, tons of attractive sliders, high quality images, responsive layout and all these are combined with good aesthetics.

Bigbang

14
The classic is new with BigBang. If you need a website where to constantly add new information, if you want to make your website more interactive, the classic blog is a perfect solution and that bring our attention to BigBang.

Salient

15
Salient is another theme that comes loaded with all the ingredients of a good website. Definitely, this theme is extremely complex and modern and I strongly believe that the words can’t describe this masterwork.

Inovado

16
Inovado offers all the features necessary for a multipurpose website while keeping a simple aspect. That, I say, makes it a good choice for e-Commerce area.

Openhouse

17
If you are in real estate business or in automotive, this theme is especially built for that purpose. I’m sure you’ll find it both useful and entertaining. It gives a totally new face to your business.

Sahifa

18
Sahifa was intended to be a news, magazine and blog template. It is a real hit if you ask me. Beautifully designed and well structured, it can be any magazine’s website or, why not, of a more complex personal blog.

Invictus

19
Invictus is another WordPress theme suited for portfolios. It’s specially created for the needs of ones than need to present images or videos. It’s image and video full screen, but it’s 100% responsive so you shouldn’t worry about the potential problems when it’s rendered using mobile devices.

Yin Yang

20
Yin & Yang is a minimalistic theme which provides to anyone interested in presenting the work a dynamic and easy to use, easy to access website. The simplicity is strongly emphasized by the black and white format and by the extensive use of negative space.

As I stated in the beginning of this post, the Internet is constantly growing. Its fast growth and development can change in many ways the world as we know it. Based on this idea and on the works presented here I hope I gave you a few more useful ideas about how a WordPress theme should look like. No matter if you intend to purchase or to create one (let’s hope that it will get soon in this list) it’s surely useful to have been admiring the best.

20 fresh WordPress themes suitable for e-commerce projects

As wrong it may sound, the purpose of any website design is, in the end, the same – to sell. I don’t think that anybody in design community works just for pleasure. Of course, the pleasure of work is important in web design, but the clients are the ones that pay the bills of the designers.
Any website, no matter the area of its content, must have the “marketable” effect. This effect shows even more pronounced when it is about websites specially designed for e-commerce activity.
Nowadays creating an e-commerce website is a task at hand as the number of software solutions is increasing, but there comes the major problem – the competition. The countless websites that are selling online must gather some similar elements as description of the products, a cart and many other specific items, but also they must be unique.
Due to the increasing of online commerce in addition to more software solutions dedicated to this purpose, the result can’t be other than better websites.
In previous posts we highlighted the mighty power of WordPress. I am sure that our readers are aware of how important became WordPress in web design and how evolved from a blogging tool to a complex content management system. Many of you might have been used it in your work or are still using it. Being so reliable, there is no wonder that is so used (successfully I may say) in creating e-commerce websites.
In order to better highlight the meaning of this, we will walk together through a few themes, 20 to be more specific, to delight you with some beautiful creations or to inspire you in your future work.

Tyrion

1
Tyrion is the best introduction I could make in order to sustain my ideas. Very dynamic thanks to the parallax effect, it offers many solutions for customization and what is more important, on my opinion, it is SEO optimized.

Maxshop

2
Fully responsive design and unlimited colors are only two of the reasons that make Maxshop theme suitable for an online business. I always thought that a theme must come in many shapes and colors, to be as customizable as possible in order to be more interesting and Maxshop offers that.

Agritourismo

3
AgriTourismo will impress due to the color scheme used- green and brown that has a calming effect and it’s the perfect choice for agricultural, rural tourism or wineries. Another plus is the cool slider that delights the viewer with appealing images.

Lotus Flower

4
As I previously mentioned, any theme that comes in many versions has my entire attention. Lotus Flower actually comes in three versions (corporate, e-commerce and agency). It’s like you pay the same amount of money but instead you get three themes. And I must confess: drag&drop builder always gets me.

TechGoStore

5
TechGoStore is another great theme suitable for commercial purposes. 7 homepages included, fully customizable homepage, many features that go with an e-commerce website like reviews & ratings for products, Cloud Zoom plugin perfectly for zooming and seeing the fine details.

Retail Therapy

6
What makes this theme great is the variety of choices. Choices are mandatory for any theme, but Retail Therapy makes it more customizable than you’ll ever think. Multiple layouts, a great visual customizer, a cool (also customizable) slider and not to forget, fully responsive design are making this theme my favorite so far.

Barberry

7
I rarely use big words in describing a website but when it comes to Barberry it must be said – perfect. It’s Twitter Bootstrap influenced, but this theme is very original. The layout is very clean and the shopping will be a pleasant activity. No doubt, such a theme is the fundament of a profitable online store.

Simplepxcreate

8
I chose to showcase Simplepxcreate because it brings to the table another view on e-commerce websites – simpler is better. It successfully combines many customization options in what seems to be at first look a very simple website.

Essential

9
This WordPress theme for e-commerce activities called Essential is like the previously mentioned themes a sum of features necessary for an e-commerce website. The beautiful design is what makes it special. It successfully combines modern and classic UI items making it an “essential” example for e-commerce websites.

Buler

10
Buler is a theme that is perfectly matching to a mature and serious brand. It doesn’t mean that the layout is boring and outdated…no way. The design is simple, there is a lot of white space and the overall feeling is that the products sold are the best quality on the market.

Shoppest

11
Shoppest made me feel like I was walking through a shop. It might be a good solution for any online shopping website but also looks very appropriate for a shop that needs to present its business online.

Cosmetico

12
With Cosmetico there is only one word that crosses my mind – classy. Regardless many customization options, which are also to be considered, I think its main feature is the classy look which makes it perfect for this area of selling.

Bistro

13
There are many websites (and we showed you a few right here) that are offering many customization options, are well designed or they are eye catching. Bistro gathers all these and it also provides 24/7 support.
Beside these, Bistro is fully responsive and retina ready display and these features are enough to assure the best user experience for everyone, no matter the device used.

Book Store

14
Book Store is a WooCommerce powered website that is very suitable for selling books or digital products. Even if this theme is suitable for selling “classic ” format books, it doesn’t mean that the design is classic. Nope, the layout is very modern and pleasant and it will be better to visit yourself to make an idea about.

Supply

15
Supply is another e-commerce theme that is destined for a mature public target. It’s minimal, but responsive and retina ready and most important, the user may fully focus on the product exhibited. Anyway, it’s a great theme!

ReVerb

16
“Where good things happen” says the tagline of this theme and it is entirely true. Many options for color choice, unlimited sidebars are making amongst other features from this simple theme a very complex one.

Circolare

17
Circolare gets the highest ranks at the elegance and customization options. The layout is very elegant, a little bit classy even, and the theme comes in three different versions.

Outlet

18
Outlet is another favorite of mine. It is very complex, including a coming soon page and a 404 one, four custom headers and four sliders. It’s suitable for complex online stores and any potential client will be satisfied by such a theme.

Shop Simple

19
ShopSimple is a theme that let the visitor to focus on the product for sale. The design is very discrete, but at the same time, pleasant and the navigation is a real pleasure.

Organic

20
Organic shop is not a very spectacular theme by its functions but by its design. Simple but dynamic, it uses a very appropriate combination of colors that makes it so suitable for any organic related business.

These 20 themes are only a small part of the world built on WordPress in order to create competitive e-commerce projects. I hope you enjoyed watching all the themes presented here, but also feel free to submit your works or anyone’s work you think would fit in this post.

20 fresh and wonderful Adobe Muse themes

Since the very beginning of the design a question appeared and that question turned into a debate later. Is a designer a scientist, a programmer, an expert in coding or an artist? I asked myself the same question many times and the only conclusion I could get to is that, as in many other aspects of life, the answer is somewhere in the middle. There is no good designer without any knowledge of coding, without any knowledge of how a computer or a handheld device works. On the other hand, no programmer will release a functional creation (no matter if it’s about a website, a graphic or even an application) without any artistic skills, or without a basic understanding of user’s psychology.
Although the answer is obvious, most of the designers prefer to work harder on the artistic part of their creations neglecting (that could be “fatal” in many occasions) the coding part.
What happens though when coding is not necessary? What happens when all the work of a designer refers to his or her artistic side? The answer will please all those who benefit from this, and by that I mean the users.
The result is art, a river of imagination turned into an online presence. A designer who is not conditioned of the coding side of his work puts all his artistic skills, all his imagination in service of the work is about to make. Websites created by use of Adobe Muse have this particularity. They highlight the creativity of the designer without involving him in what is supposed to be drudgery. The result, as I already said, is a delight for the eyes of the users and can’t remain unnoticed.
For supporting this statement we chose 20 fresh and wonderful Adobe Muse templates that will state the case in for supporting the „designing without coding” idea. By sure these works are amazing and will delight you.

20 visually appealing Concrete5 themes

2013 was a great year for content management systems (CMS) developers. The Internet users became aware that making a website isn’t a big deal and with minimal to zero design knowledge it’s possible to launch a pretty cool one. No doubt, the most important and famous CMS remains WordPress and its position seems to be unshakable in the near future. As you may have imagined, we have showcased here some amazing WordPress themes and we will continue to delight our loyal readers with this kind of round up articles.
Drupal is the second, while Joomla is the third most used CMS and we couldn’t ignore these solutions that we have tons of articles about. Well, Concrete5 doesn’t have a great market share, but it’s still not negligible. It has many advantages and everybody should pay closer attention to it because its rate of growing is exponential, therefore Concrete5 may be a nice surprise in the next years. Explaining the advantages and the disadvantages of this CMS is a huge debate and in various occasions it depends on the viewer’s perspective. I strongly encourage everyone to give it a try and create a free account for a limited period of time. It’s free and you can have a better idea about Concrete5.
Altogether, here we have collected 20 wonderful Concrete5 themes to make you more curious and maybe to convince you that this CMS deserves your attention.

Neuron

1
Neuron is a fully responsive and retina ready display Concrete5 theme that receives high marks at the cleanliness, customisation and simplicity aspect. In addition to these, Neuron is an extremely modern theme. Under these circumstances, this theme is perfect for a corporate or a creative agency website.

Structura

2
Structura is another very modern Concrete5 responsive theme. As 2013 was the year of flat design, it was logical to have here some pleasant flat constructions and Structura is one of these. It’s a multipurpose and very complex theme. It comes with tons of customisation options and many page templates; therefore it’s impossible not to be satisfied with it.

Metrome

3
vCards are becoming more and more numerous and any serious designer should have one; it may be considered as an online CV. This theme is one of the best options for such a project. Also, its Metro style is widely appreciated by many users (well, in the same time there are plenty of denigrators of Metro style).

Sweet Pea

4
Sweet Pea is a really impressive Concrete5 theme. You have six theme options (Default, Earth, Ocean, Fierce, Night and Future) that may be tailored to your needs, cool jQuery animations and a very simple, but attractive design. It’s a great example of how single page websites should look and besides that the creators offer for sale the HTML version of it. A pretty interesting offer, isn’t it?

Smoothie

5
Smothie is another theme that is based on flat design, but this one is a “classical” example of flatness. The colour combinations are specific to flat approach, and of course, it’s developed using Twitter Bootstrap. This description may give you the impression that it’s a common theme, but in fact it’s a wonderful theme, that differentiates itself from the others!

Lotus

6
This theme is probably the most elegant one from this list. Lotus is designed for spa and wellness centres and I am 100% certain that people will fall in love with it. I think that this theme has the potential to bring many clients if it’s smartly used. It is a wonderful creation indeed so, congrats to the creators!

Zenn

7
People love simplicity regardless of the CMS that is being used, therefore it was impossible not to have a minimalist theme displayed here. Zenn is here for the simplicity lovers, but it doesn’t mean that is an incomplete theme or that it lacks important features. No way! It’s a very modern theme that uses a black and white colour combination.

Mj simple

8
Mj Simple, as the name is self-describing, it’s a simple Concrete5 theme that has nothing to make it stand apart. In spite of that, this theme has so many webpages and customisation options that will satisfy even the most demanding individuals. It includes all the common pages such as: Home, Contact, Blog but also some “extravagant” ones such as: Survey, Login or Guestbook. The layouts are looking very well, so there are many reasons to buy this theme!

Rosenzveig

9
Rosenzveig is a theme that is suitable for a large palette of purposes, but personally I think that it’s most suitable for vintage inspired galleries. The colour combination and the big image from the homepage are the most obvious signs of vintage influence. Anyway, it’s a theme that is hard to forget.

Heart

10
Heart is a great theme that is specially designed for wedding events. This kind of website became very common recently and it’s very nice to showcase such a wonderful event. I like the style used; everything is created to make the visitor happy – no doubt, a very inspired design!

Der Golem

11
Der Golem is a multipurpose theme that will impress any viewer, therefore don’t waste your time and check this theme!

Vision

12
For the ones that consider that their portfolio should be redesigned, Vision is a viable alternative. It’s flat and one single page, therefore it’s actual and eye-catching. I like the boldness of the design very much – everything is big, bold and clean. These qualities will make people trust the team owning the portfolio and it means that they will be easier to convert into clients.

Uhuru

13
Uhuru is a theme suitable for portfolios or blogs. The strong point of this theme is the colour scheme that is discrete, but in the same time strong. It’s built on the classic black and white with few shades of orange. The black and white are calming colours (in fact, non-colors) and don’t distract the viewer, but the orange shades create a very powerful contrast. In this way, the key-elements are visible for everyone.

Passport

14
Everyone that works hard needs a good vacation and people are very interested in good locations to spend some free days. Passport is a multipurpose theme, but it seems to match better for agencies/companies offering traveling/relaxing services. Every webpage of the theme looks awesome, so give it a chance!

Prime

15
Prime is a good looking theme that has the big advantage of offering a strong base for customisation. Somehow, you may consider it as a complex framework that may be tailored for everyone’s needs.

Light

16
Light is a standard theme that is created for business. There is no standing apart design, just common items and webpages that are designed at the highest standards. The creators smartly use white and blue- the best colours for business websites (white expresses cleanliness while blue trust and quality).

Wedding planner

17
This is another theme that is designated for weddings (I think that it’s obvious once its name is Wedding planner!!!). The particularity of this theme is the nice combination of elegance and refinement with a casual or even domestic style. The inspired shades of violet are in contrast with the nice illustrations used, but overall the result is visually appealing and this is what really matters!

Galilea

18
This theme won’t ever make someone say “wow”, but instead it’s wonderfully created for a single purpose: to be used as a small hotel or rural residence official website. It will take just a second to navigate through it and you will definitely be seduced and start thinking about the next holiday.

Climax

19
No one who cares about his/her business will ignore the Internet. As a result, nowadays the business owners and the entrepreneurs are desperately asking for cool themes. If you are one of them, then Climax may represent a good option. It’s a theme created for businesses- everything is bold and expresses trust and quality. I think that these “ingredients” are a must have in the world of businesses. Don’t you agree?

Grandeur

20
Grandeur is probably the most complex Concrete 5 theme from this list. It has the same features as the WordPress ones and at the same time it’s extremely customisable and well designed. More exactly, you don’t have any reason not to check it and eventually buy it for your next projects.
I hope that now you have a clearer idea about Concrete 5 and its possibilities. It has major differences from WordPress- some of them put Concrete5 in an advantageous position, while others in a disadvantageous one. Overall, it’s the taste that matters and the necessities of the user. This person is the one that makes the decision. It will be great to hear your opinion. What do you think? Is Concrete5 a viable solution for your projects? Waiting for your interesting comments…
