As usual I’ll start showing the front page of the Modest WordPress simple theme. I think it is really clean and elegant at the same time. The slider is really unique and works as a image wheel.
Five Color schemes – Modest comes with five different colors, including White, Black, Purple, Green and Blue. You can switch between these different color schemes at any time from within the ePanel theme options page.
