Update: we’ve just introduced the UB Atoms theme hierarchy that we’re working on here. It is fully revamped, unlike any other Magento 2 themes that Ubertheme has offered

We’re excited to introduce you to a sneak peek of a revolutionary new Magento 2 theme. It’s called UB Atoms.

Inspired by Atomic Design -- a methodology of creating modular designs, UB ‘Atoms’ is designed to be exactly what it sounds like -- establishing the basic building blocks for pages, such as form label, an input or a button, color, typography, grids, and the like, rather than just creating simple collections of web pages.

The theme structure will be fully revamped, unlike any other Magento 2 themes that Ubertheme has offered.
