Like many web designers and developers I’m a dedicated WordPress user. There’s no secret here. I love the software for it’s simplicity, flexibility, and well, the many ways in which it can be adapted and morphed into different themes for different uses. I would also venture to say that WordPress probably has the largest global development community, which produces themes that can give any WordPress based site a facelift. But for this particular post let’s say you’re a photographer and you want a WordPress theme to showcase your work. What do you do? Easy. WordPress can give you a photo gallery for cents on the dollar, compared to what it would cost to develop a site from scratch. It’s also quick to set up and customize.

Introducing Sparta: a Premium WordPress Theme
Thursday, December 10th, 2009
I’m excited to announce the public release of the first Premium WordPress theme produced by Maquina Studio. Behold Sparta, a simple and ultra-clean WordPress theme. Following the minimal trend in design, Sparta offers a no-nonsense and no-frills approach to theme design, inspired by the Spartans of yore. It’s a differentiated left-aligned two-column layout that makes it really easy to read and navigate. It has a Featured Post Slider using JQuery, and a topical navigation to give it a magazine style treatment. It comes in three different color styles and the versatile layout can be used for different purposes, such as an online magazine, a personal blog, or a professional blog for business. Perfect for those stylish niches like design, fashion, lifestyle, culture, and art, but will work for anything if you simply like good, clean and minimal design. Download Sparta Premium WordPress theme exclusively by signing up for the Maquina Studio newsletter in the contact page.
