Why We Do What We Do?

Most WordPress themes available today are multi-purpose, trying to be everything for everyone. This makes them slower, harder to work with, and you normally have to invest a lot of energy to learn how to use them. You also have to design every page from scratch before the final website looks good and this is a very time-consuming process. Why buy a theme if you have to do all the heavy lifting yourself at the end?
Our philosophy is the exact opposite. We strive for simplicity, thoughtful niche designs, and essential features small business owners really care about.

We are on a mission to help you deliver beautiful and powerful websites faster.

Primož Cigler, ceo

Primož Cigler

Full Stack Developer & Co-founder

Since I built my first website in primary school, I’ve had a strong passion for web development. When not visiting conferences, giving talks or organizing local development related events, I focus on fast and highly optimized online solutions. I’m a windsurfer, snowboarder and beer lover in my leisure time.

Jaka Šmid

UI/UX Designer & Co-founder

It all started almost a decade ago when I got my first book about HTML. I instantly fell in love with the web, but I soon realized that with basic HTML it’s not possible to provide a great user experience. So, I started to learn some advanced UI/UX techniques. Now I’m a designer way beyond just being a pixel pusher. If I’m not working, you are going to find me at the gym.

Marketer & Systemizer

I view humans and businesses as a big, complex system, and know that as with any system, all parts are interrelated. I love to analyze these connections, organize them into a simple form, and constantly upgrade everything to make it more effective. Slacklining, ecstatic dancing, and meditation help me stay focused.

Michael Davis

Happiness Engineer

I’ve always been a big tech nerd growing up, so I was naturally drawn to Information Technology and Web development at a very early age. I started building sites with WordPress in High-school and University. I then pursued a career in WordPress support and I’ve been in love with it from day one. When I’m not assisting customers, I like playing video games on my ps4, watching movies and of course going to the pool or beach.

How It All Started

ProteusThemes started in summer 2012, as an idea of two freelancers – Primož (the developer) and Jaka (the designer).

Before co-founding ProteusThemes, Primož was building WordPress websites for clients. His biggest issue was that most of the themes available were badly coded, not suitable for business websites, painfully slow, and hard to work with. At the same time, his clients wanted to have a good looking website – as soon as possible.

To make his work easier and deliver websites clients wanted – he decided to develop his own theme. He joined forces with Jaka, the lead designer. In early 2013 they launched their first theme called HairPress on the ThemeForest marketplace. It quickly became a huge success.

Since then, ProteusThemes have launched their own store and keeps on growing.
