Stockholm is the latest photo magazine theme designed by our modest teammate Ceyhun. Even though Ceyhun joined our team back in mid-2011, he has worked on significantly improving our back-end and framework. A few months ago he shared a first draft of a photography-inspired theme and we immediately fell in love with the balance and simplicity of the design. We made it a priority to to implement the design and code into our framework so that it would be ready immediately.
When this theme was revealed, we decided Stockholm was the the perfect name for it’s light and dark personality. There are not many places in the world where darkness occurs for 24 hours or the sun never sets depending on the time of the year.

Ever look around for a quality theme for your personal site – something that isn’t just a portfolio site or blog, but really focuses on the individual? Look no further. We’ve been peppering our newest WordPress theme – Personality – with all the right details and features.
Your site is your identity. The Personality theme was designed with this principle in mind. We wanted to escape the traditional blog as some users may need a professional web site to inform their audience of their skills, background, or just who they are as a person. The focus is completely on YOU. In addition to the balanced layout, we came up with an unique design that is versatile enough to satisfy almost any individual’s needs.
It needs to work your way. Functionality is key and the Personality theme includes features typically not found in similar themes. Here are some notable examples:

WordPress themes designed for the academic arena are limited. In fact, when we searched the web for options, the selection left much to be desired. So it’s no surprise we came up with our own design and vision for a WordPress educational theme. We weren’t going to just reformat a pre-existing theme and give it a new name. Instead, we looked at what educators would need and designed a theme specifically for that audience.
The Graduate theme is ideal for anyone running the following type of website:
