Metrolium is a modern, metro inspired, multi-purpose, Retina Ready responsive WordPress theme. Beautifully designed, lovingly coded and absolutely bursting with functionality. As though that’s not enough, you’ll also receive free updates and great support to boot. What more could you possibly want?
Metrolium comes packed with the incredible LayerSlider Parallax WordPress Plugin (worth $15!) and Revolution Slider WordPress Plugin (worth $15!).
Even at version 1.0, this theme is already solid, full of features, customizable with instant previews, and comes with detailed documentation (including a full shortcode reference guide). Metrolium hits on all the right criteria for me: Google web font support, responsive design (on mobile devices, you get a beautiful slide-out menu which fits well with many iOS/Android apps these days), built-in support for Portfolio and Blog and a clever layout based on “Bands” that can themed to your liking. The support from David, so far, is outstanding. I can’t recommend this theme enough!

This is a real professional looking Theme and designed with the highest standards. The Support is best in class, I had some questions and EskiLabs went out of their way to assist until all my queries were resolved.

Hello – I just wanted to say your theme is fantastic! I’ve never seen anything as flexible as this before. Just about everything is customisable from within WordPress appearance customiser.
