★ The Lab, a weird, dusty, untidy place

This is the place where I intend to share my web design projects as well as the templates I have made for Tumblr. Some of them are free. For others I ask for a small fee to make up for the long hours of work. All are free to modify according to your needs Note that since I'm no professional, I may not always be available for support. Though you may try to catch me...if you can ;)

I usually code all the templates that are being used over here. After sometimes I usually make my former themes available to download.Though I do try to respect web standards but in some case I simply can't do anything about certain errors. Tumblr, for example would add a weird iFrame at the bottom of your code.

Another of my project is newscenter, a personal magazine based on a PHP RSS feed agregator developed by SimplePie

Donations accepted! Do you like my work ? Feel some remorse to use those themes for free ? Want to encourage me continue my web design efforts. Then click on the icon below and leave the donation that you believe it acceptable for using my themes.

✪ Premium Tumblr Themes : The Silk theme

price This is the theme I was using just before the current one. Silk is a minimalist template with a grid layout. On the left lies a dashboard which displays the description of your tumblog and lists your personal pages. Silk also is SEO-compliant by generating proper keywords for each of your posts. Also permalinks are optimized for all kinds of medias.

✪ Pure Photoblog

theme

I have decided to play around with the Cargo theme and turn it into a photoblog template. Overall, the layout is inspired by traditional photo blogs or by the MobileMe Web Gallery. The theme was specifically thought for photos. If you intend to post other kinds of medias then it will probably not suit you, unless you tweak it.

✪ Tumblestar

theme

This is my first Tumblr layout. Overall, it is pretty simple. What makes it different is that it has a style switcher enabling your visitors to choose the color they want when browsing your Tumblr. Four flavors are offered: wood, blue, pink and grass. This style switcher is performed via a JavaScript which will retain the visitors preferences for their next visit.

✪ the newscenter

newscenter

newscenter is not a Tumblr theme but rather a personal magazine that I built based on the awesome SimplePie tool which enables any PHP-compatible server to retrieve RSS feeds on the fly and let you customize them via HTML and CSS.

I shall soon make the whole thing available for download over here with a note explaining how to cutomize those feeds
