Nick Roach, the man behind Elegant Themes has released a stunning new professional gallery-style theme that makes handling your own online portfolio a breeze.

I have used Nick’s themes for some time now and have found the annual subscription cost of $19.95 USD, which gives you access to all his themes, to be excellent value for money. In fact, it’s an absolute bargain!

This latest theme named “Lumin”  features 3 colour schemes, a blog style option, gallery layout display, automated thumbnail resizing, ad management, and more.

The graphic details in this theme are stunning. The subtle background texture and the clever use of  Java script combine to deliver a clean and truly elegant theme.

Every visual element in the site has been carefully crafted using subtle textures and shading as seen in the sidebar and comments areas below.

Nick’s intro at Elegant Themes says, “I craft my themes with a goal of simplicity and professionalism and strive to inject each design with a dose of modest elegance. I believe that your website is not just a tool, it is an integral part of your identity. My job is to respect each customer by providing attractive and userfriendly templates that will help you achieve your online goals.” With the release of Lumin we believe Nick has succeeded again.

I’ve been using WordPress for a few years now and am always on the lookout for high quality themes. I have purchased quite a few themes over the years and have for the most part received great value for money. However, when you come across high quality themes for FREE it feels like you have discovered hidden treasure! While reading a recent post on Twitter I discovered 4 outstanding themes from WPVulpe. So here they are…….enjoy.
