Looking To The Past

FROM Nick Roach:

“It seems like just yesterday that  registered ElegantThemes.com in my college campus apartment and launched the service with a single theme, BlueSky. Late nights and double espressos fueled my excitement and kept the new themes coming as I searched for time between classes and school projects to focus on design. What was once a small hobby with a few customers has grown into a community of 180,000 lovely members, a collection of 82 beautiful themes, and a team of 20 amazing employees. Each year brings exciting new challenges, and I can’t wait to see what the next one has in store for us.”

Looking To The Future

Plan for the future is to continue bringing more of the best themes and plugins around for a price that can’t be beat. To do this, they need to grow the star team, which is why they have been working hard to build out a new office in my hometown of San Francisco where they will be welcoming new designers and developers into the Elegant Themes family  This year they hope to greatly increase efficiency and improve the turnaround on theme releases and bug fixes with the help of our new talent. If you are a developer in the bay area with a passion for WordPress and would like to work for them,please send them an email!
