Elegant Themes Rating

Elegantthemes Overview

ElegantThemes is owned by Nick Roach, an expert WordPress premium theme developer who has created all the themes listed in ElegantThemes.com. His first attempt in designing a website started from the tender age of thirteen when his band in the 7th grade required its own website. He still shudders at the thought of his shoddy design back then, but starting from then, he has definitely gotten a lot better and his work now shows it all (and needless to say all his self teachings have paid off).

Nick’s works are simple, clean, and elegant with a touch of style and uniqueness. He is fully dedicated in creating innovative designs in order to enlarge his theme portfolio.

Theme Functionality

Most of ElegantThemes have user-friendly features that allow users without knowledge and skills in design and programming to manage their own website according to their preferences. The themes’ Options page, named ePanel allows you to customize your site in every possible manner.

Each theme is fully equipped with widget ready sidebar, custom thumbnail images, search bar and gravatar ready feature among many others. A few special features included in each theme are three level dropdown menus, automatic resizing of images and the icing on the cake being a slider for the most recent posts.

These are some of the reasons why ElegantThemes is ranked on the Top 10 under the Theme Functionality and Usability category.

Theme Graphics

ElegantThemes have high resolution graphics and most of the themes usually offer various color schemes. The themes are generally colourful with excellent contrast and they are not too distracting to the viewers when reading the contents of the site.

The background offers relaxing effects to make viewers more comfortable to stay longer in the site and browse for more articles and contents to read. The header, which is one of the most important parts of the website, is generally stylish with bold titles and unique font combination to attract viewers.

As of 2020, ElegantThemes offers 76 different expertly-made themes to choose from. Each month, Nick releases an average of 2 various themes that fully meet the requirements of the latest version of WordPress. Consequently, if you have several websites, you can make each of them totally unique. He has also recently started going back to old themes and updated several of them to be fully responsive WordPress Themes.

Among all the premium WordPress themes in the market, we think ElegantThemes has the most beautifully-designed collection of themes and we are happy to present the Top award to ElegantThemes under the Theme Graphic Design category.

Theme Pricing

Compared to most of the top premium WordPress theme providers like Templatic and WooThemes, ElegantThemes offers the most economical plan, charging only $39 for the unlimited use of all the themes developed by this provider! However, take note that such an amount is a yearly subscription wherein you will be billed yearly until you opt out of the subscription.

Once you unsubscribe, upon expiry of your membership, you will no longer gain access to the members’ area along with its corresponding benefits. You’ll also have no access to future theme releases.

With that said, for a measly sum of $39 where you can freely download and use all of the themes released by ElegantThemes until your membership expires — in this case 70+ themes and future releases within the paid year means you are really getting a big bang for your buck!

Theme Support

If you encounter any problems during the installation process you can always contact their customer support for assistance. Support is usually given through the support forum where you can post your queries and questions. The forum is generally user-friendly and it is categorized according to the type of themes so that when you have questions or need assistance on a particular theme it is easier for you to follow up.

Summary

Considering the awesome quality of most themes as well as its unbeatable price, the overall rating for this premium WordPress theme provider is excellent and highly recommended for both personal and business sites. Their package is best for those who have multiple sites since you have plenty of unique professionally-made themes to choose from.

For those who are planning to use their themes for their clients’ websites, ElegantThemes is also recommended due to the fact that you can use these themes on an unlimited number of personal or client sites.

Nevertheless, having reviewed more than 40 WordPress theme providers, we have found the ultimate winner and that is, ElegantThemes!!
