The New Elmastudio Theme Showcase Website

A lot of times we hear from our theme users that they really enjoy looking at other blogs and websites using the same theme. It’s a great way to get inspirations and see, how others use the same theme on their website. And of course we also have a lot of fun seeing our themes in action and we are so overwhelmed on how creative and versatile the themes are being used.

So in order to feature the websites using Elmastudio themes even better, we have created a new Elmastudio Theme Showcase, where we want to show you a collection of websites using our themes.

Renkon: Premium Photography WordPress Theme with Grid Layout, Off Canvas Sidebar and big Header Image

Renkon is our newest Premium WordPress theme for photography lovers. Renkon has a minimal, responsive grid layout that makes it very easy to create a beautiful, modern photo blog with your pictures. The theme also offers a big header image feature with an optional intro slogan. The responsive, off canvas sidebar gives you lots of space to present your pictures in the Renkon theme.

Useful Links: Am I Responsive? Screenshot Tool

After I read the newest Responsive Design Newsletter by @justinavery this morning I had a little “aha moment”, because I never heard of his awesome side project Am I Responsive? until today. The screenshot tool lets you create helpful screenshot of your responsive website with just one click and it’s also a lot of fun to see your responsive webdesign appear in such a beautiful presentation.
