Every week dozens upon dozens of new WordPress themes are released, some of these are well designed, without being too original, and disappointingly, most of the others seem to be replicas of existing popular themes or they use tried and tested layout formulas with no use or thought for originality.

And sometimes, just sometimes, you will find a little golden nugget of a theme, that resonates quality, originality and offers something unique to the user. It is those themes that this article focuses on.

Really gorgeous themes. I love how simple everything is becoming. Simplicity as a “trend” is a great thing for web design. Really could have used this post the other day though =/ haha.
