Amazing New Premium Theme Release from ElegantThemes

Theme of the MONTH

Over time I find it entertaining to watch theme developers grow and their skill increase. One can often look over their theme portfolio and see time go by as little attributes improve. You can see hints of framework upgrades and witness tiny little accents get a little cleaner with each theme.

For a while now, I’ve kept it no secret that Woo Themes is my favorite designer, but ElegantThemes is quickly catching up. It is pretty easy for me to know when I really like a theme because I start justifying in my shiny head how I can use it. The latest addition to their family, Lumin, is a premium Wordpress theme that very well may soon be the new portfolio site for Too Creative, my “parent” company to all my blogs. I love the smoothness, the gradients, the subtle fades of elements, the dramatic accents and the clever use of shadows. I feel good when I look at it, really good. I know other people will think I’ve got a great site if I’m using it; and impressing people is important when you are showing off your stuff.

ElegantThemes has a great number of themes and they have a backend framework control panel that has become much more sophisticated over time. The Lumin premium Wordpress theme comes packaged with 3 preset styles, a smooth featured content slider on the home page, a gallery display preview by just mousing over the thumbnail, built-in advertising management, and a slew of other features that are sure to make your mouth water.

Pricing: one of the best things about ElegantThemes (and what could be the start of a trend!) is the low barrier of entry when it comes to price. The number of theme developers are growing and what many of them are doing is offering subscription pricing that gives developers and users alike the opportunity to have access to all the new sweet themes they come out with with a flat monthly fee. ElegantThemes comes in at just shy of 20 bux a year; that’s right, I said $20 A YEAR. Not too shabby, indeed!
