Paid Wordpress Themes Question

TeddyP · 07-31-2009, 10:16 PM

How saturated is the market for really good paid WP themes?

Is there any problems you guys have with paid theme sites? I use Studiopress and WooThemes - my complaints are not enough CMS style and not updated enough. Anyone else use sites like these and have probs?

Anything you guys would want to see in paid Wordpress themes?

I'm not really the one to buy themes or templates that somebody else made. I usually make my own because that way I can customize it to look any way I want.

The only way I'd buy themes or templates, is if they designed it EXACTLY the way I wanted at the same low price of the other templates they design out of boredom. I'd also like the updates, if I had any issues, to be quick and easy.

If they didn't comply, I would simple boycott the service and address them in every forum I go to-to insure they don't get much service anymore.

Thankfully, I do it all myself, so I never have to worry about the stress of these sites. =)

However, I do know that a lot of people don't know a single thing about designing their own website, or don't know enough to get by, but if I were someone that bought themes and templates, I want excellent customer support that could update it as soon as I asked or at least within 48 hours.

I'd like to see more variation, seems they all tend to look to alike. Course I am no designer, so many only so much you can do. Maybe more geared towards IM?

Support...support...and more support! I would also want themes that are EASY to make simple customizations and changes. Finally, I would want the themes to stay current with the latest versions of WordPress.

I definitely second that. I have used WP Remix which is a nice paid theme but it is a lot of work to customize. Because of this it is subject to a lot of problem tweaks. I also think the paid ones should be easy to customize.

You pay a small fee and get alot of themes.

I use Thesis Theme. Seems to work well, haven't had any major problems. Cost about $90.
