SB 5 - Blanc was designed by Swiss designer (and Fribourg resident), Mirko Humbert. SB 5 - Blanc is one of the more sparse themes available, however it is charming and elegant, and useful for people wanting to convey a quantity of information without the delivery getting in the way.
We can see SB 5 - Blanc being used by therapists, medical, counselors, pilgrims, travelers, scholars, diarists, clergy, churches, healers, day spas, retreats, meditation, hospice … choose ‘sb-5-blanc’ from Themeleon - our alpine theme shifter.
Elegant Brit
September 9, 2008 on 8:42 am | In background image, blue, cool colors, fixed width, green, orange, simple, two columns, warm colors, white | 2 comments
Elegant Brit is the the Sean Connery of the theme world. Urbane, classy, looking good in every thing - classic blue, classy green, and genteel orange. What? Can orange be genteel? Well, yes, when integrated with designs by Nick.
Nick’s an architecture major from North Carolina (USA). Not only is Nick into architectural design, but he also does graphical and web designs, plays the guitar, listens to music, plays tennis and golf, and snowboards in winter. Clearly, there’s no stopping this guy. He’s been designing web sites for a few years, using Photoshop, a text editor, and the Gimp.
Enough about Nick already. Let’s take a look at the themes and how they could be used…
We can see Elegant Brit (blue) bring great for nautical applications, lawyers, accountants, counselors, therapists, tailors — anyone seeking the cool, sophisticated look. Vodka martini, stirred, not shaken.
Elegant Brit (green) suggests florists, landscapers, gardeners, organics, health food, pilgrims, botanists, wildlife artists — fresh, crisp green tones - for those seeking to recreate the calmness of ‘England’s green and pleasant land’ perhaps.
Elegant Brit (orange) — the amber colours and soaring shapes seem to suggest travel guides, geologists, not-for-profits, motorsports, cars, automotive, opticians, cartographers, geographers, engineers, architects, quilters, textile designers, interior designers - people looking for a finely crafted finish.
Nick’s basic layout doesn’t change, but the alternative colour options bring a very different feel and presence to the themes. Nice work, Nick. Choose ‘elegant-brit-b’ for Elegant Brit in blue, ‘elegant-brit-g’ for Elegant Brit in green, or ‘elegant-brit-o’ for Elegant Brit in orange from Themeleon - our licensed to thrill theme shifter.
12 Apostles
September 6, 2008 on 8:03 am | In black, dark, fixed width, gray, header image, simple, two columns, white | No comments
12 Apostles, by Ronan Menton uses a picture taken at the 12 Apostles, South West from Melbourne, Australia, along the Great Ocean Road. Ronan notes that, in his opinion, it’s one of the most spectacular sights in Australia.
A rather moody and atmospheric theme, 12 Apostles seems to lend itself to web sites for outdoor sports people, environmentalists, photographers, scientists, counselors, therapists, geologists, geographers, travelers … choose ‘12apostles’ from Themeleon - our outback theme shifter.
Oldschool
September 2, 2008 on 12:41 pm | In black, blue, fixed width, gray, simple, three columns, white | No comments
Oldschool is another fine theme from the house of Small Potato.
Visually uncomplicated, clean and tidy, just as a good copy book should be. That blue-black ink feeling brings back scary classroom memories - ink stained fingers, spitballs, passing notes, girly swots, and staring longingly out the window…
A great choice for writers, freelance journalists, e-news, online magazines, churches,teachers, educators, diarists, students, copy writers, memorabilia, clergy … choose ‘oldschool’ from Themeleon - our ‘the dog ate my homework’ theme shifter.
Peaceful Rush
August 25, 2008 on 11:41 am | In brown, fixed width, header image, simple, two columns, warm colors, white | No comments
Peaceful Rush is designed by Small Potato of WPDesigner.com. The header image can be replaced with an image of your choice - or you can keep with the original image of the agapanthus lined road. It’s a lovely scene - perhaps from ‘My House in Umbria’?
Peaceful Rush reflects a comfortable outdoors-y idea - where someone has taken ‘that all important indoor-outdoor flow’ thing seriously. Rustic in a sophisticated and charming kind of way. That’s Small Potato for you. Image web sites for B&Bs, small hotels, hospitality people, diarists, wildlife artists, gardeners, wedding planners - any could find a cool and peaceful place to rest amongst the rush. Choose ‘peaceful-rush’ from Themeleon - our serene theme shifter.
Minimal Green
August 19, 2008 on 9:05 am | In fixed width, green, simple, two columns, white | No comments
Minimal Green is another fine theme released by Kaushal Sheth. Kaushal is based in Mumbai, India. He’s found time to work on the themes while undertaking a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in field of Electronics and Telecommunication from D.J.Sanghvi College of Engineering, at the University of Mumbai.
Minimal Green is indeed minimal, however we think its elegant and clean lines has a wide appeal for people with powerful messages - people who don’t want the theme to stand in the way of the message. Choose ‘minimal-green’ from Themeleon - our chlorophyll-ed theme shifter.
Limit
August 15, 2008 on 3:28 am | In blue, custom header, fixed width, four columns, gray, header image, simple, three columns | No comments
Limit was designed by Jai Nischal Verma. It’s a simple and elegant, lightweight theme (which means it loads quickly, not that the theme is feeble in any way), and the sidebar allows for two columns - effectively a four column design. The rounded corners and reflection at the foot of the page reduce any impression of severity. Nice. The image of the horses can be replaced with one of yours as part of the customization.
Limit is likely to appeal to people wanting clear communication - community groups, conference organisers, charitable organisations, accountants, architects, engineers, lawyers, investment brokers, insurance. Choose ‘limit’ from Themeleon - our happy theme shifter.
Sandbox
August 10, 2008 on 12:06 am | In flexible width, light, simple, two columns, white | No comments
Sandbox? What’s Sandbox? Like everything WordPress, Sandbox is the work of a small team, Andy Skelton and Scott Allan Wallick. Here’s what they say: “The Sandbox is truly unique. It is a theme that aims to be anything and to be the best at being anything. It degrades beautifully. It embraces the best available practices in blog design.” OK, in short then, Sandbox is a theme that other people can customize.
Or leave it just as it is. Sandbox as is isn’t a theme for everyone, but it’s just great for people who appreciate the minimalist, content-is-king approach. Ideal for scientists, writers, zen aficionados, people concerned with the spiritual or religious, teachers - people focussed closely on honest, rich content, rather than the idle shim-sham of display. Choose ‘sandbox’ from Themeleon - our happy theme shifter.
