ThemeLab was originally establish in 2007 by Leland Fiegel as a WordPress tutorial and theme news website. In 2013 ThemeLab was acquired by Syed Balkhi who runs the popular WordPress resource website WPBeginner. He and his team overhauled the site and transformed it into a commercial WordPress theme shop with the goal “to make beginner friendly WordPress themes that simply work out of the box”.
ThemeLab explain on their site they’ve noticed a growing problem with premium WordPress themes – they’re becoming too complex and bloated. ThemeLab is aiming to be different. They state: “we’ve noticed that WordPress themes have become too complex. In this race of creating the most feature-bloated WordPress theme, most developers have lost sight of what’s more important, usability.” ThemeLab aims to change that and “while most companies are focused on either design or functionality, our approach is to bring the best of both worlds with a special emphasis on usability”.
ThemeLab’s mission is to make premium WordPress themes that are:
- Easy to use for beginners
- Offer data portability
- Not bloated while still keeping the features that you need
- Blazing fast
- Fully-responsive and work on all devices
- Follow WordPress standards
- Affordable
