WordPress Themes that are high resolution – ready for your Retina displays

Retina ready devices where introduced when the later generations of iPhones and iPads came out. What this meant was a higher pixel ratio of the display, making everything look sharper. It’s like watching Blu Ray – instead of regular DVD when it comes to movies. Naturally, websites had to step up. This meant serving up higher resolution images – so the visual effect in retina ready devices is equally as sharp.

WordPress themes are not an exception. Theme developers have followed today’s display standards, by creating some of the most visually appealing themes that money can buy. Check out this collection of WordPress themes that are retina ready
