screen shot of Quadruple BlueQuadruple Blue was designed by that giant in the theme world, Small Potato. Quadruple Blue incorporates graduated tones – a Small Potato signature piece – and the theme is just cool, calm, and effective. No flashy bells and whistles, more along the concept of all the drama of a swiss watch. For business, or perhaps an e-magazine

Perhaps for therapists, lawyers, accountants, pharmacists, mediators, medical, online magazines, e-news, spiritual, religious, teachers, educators, engineers, security guards, insurance, investment brokers, traders, churches, club newsletters, clergy, hospice … choose ‘quadruple-blue’ from Themeleon – our conservative 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

screen shot of Elegant Brit (blue) 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.

screen shot of Elegant Brit (green)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.

screen shot of Elegant Brit (orange)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.

Blue Zinfandel

August 26, 2008 on 10:37 am | In black, blue, cool colors, fixed width, light, three columns, two columns, white | No comments

screen shot of Blue Zinfandel 2-ColumnBlue Zinfandel is by Brian Gardner. A couple of choices are available – two columns (choose ‘blue-zinfandel-2c’ from the Themeleon) or three columns (choose ‘blue-zinfandel-3c’ from the Themeleon).

The Zinfandel family are presented with clean, timeless lines and a pleasant combination of serif and sans serif font consistent with a crisp, classical feel. screen shot of Blue Zinfandel 3-Column

It is possible Blue Zinfandel is named for the grape commonly grown in California, originally the Croatian Crljenak Kaštelanski grape. Zinfandel makes excellent table grapes, wonderful red wine, however, in the USA, it is the white wine that is the biggest seller.

We believe the classical visuals will appeal to people with a need for crisp text presentation, and prompt and efficient load times – perhaps accountants, architects, copy writers, e-news, investment brokers, lawyers, not-for-profits, online magazines, pharmacists, or even oenologists.

A flask of wine, Themeleon, and thou.

Ad Clerum

August 22, 2008 on 10:25 am | In blue, cool colors, header image, three columns, white | No comments

screen shot of Ad ClerumAd Clerum was designed by Nat of Theme Terminal. “Ad Clerum” is a Latin phrase which means: “To the clergy.”

Ad Clerum is a perfect theme for churches or other non-profits, however the refined and conservative appearance suggests fine art galleries, finance, legal, politics, or the professions in general. Think buttoned down, crisp quality, white cotton and antique silks. Choose ‘ad-clerum’ from Themeleon – our classic 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

screen shot of LimitLimit 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.

WordPress Classic

August 1, 2008 on 5:38 am | In flexible width, gray, light, neutral colors, two columns, white | No comments

It's _the_ classicWordPress Classic is the original WordPress theme. It graced versions 1.2.x and prior. WordPress has come a long way since Dave Shea designed, and Matthew Mullenweg modified, this clean and elegant layout. Only the barest minimum has been defined – the useful variable width, two columns, and neutral gray colours. Of course, the colours can be refined to create your very own classic. We’re tempted by those Morris Minor colours – imagine (from 1948 to 1953) Platinum Grey, Romain Green, Black, Maroon, Mist Green, Gascoyne Grey, Thames Blue, Clarendon Grey, Empire Green, Birch Grey, and from later, Sage Green, Smokey Blue, Rose Taupe, Antelope, Pale Ivory, and Sandy Beige. Colours that defined a generation, a nation, an empire.

We see the WordPress Classic theme being used by people seeking a sophisticated and classic air – where their work can be complemented by neutral (but never bland) tones. Jewelers, book binders, designers, embroiderers, fine food purveyors, writers, therapists, lawyers, accountants… the list goes on. Choose ‘classic’ from Themeleon – our happy theme shifter – and see how to add a classic touch to your web communications – and as ever – adapting the design to your business cards, signage, and other communication forms is an option.
