PremiumThemes.net – Highest Quality Premium WordPress Themes is coming!

The premium themes market seems promising and there are new paid themes popping up every day. However, not every paid theme is of premium quality and many of them are not even worth paying. The another concern is, wordpress themes are becoming more complex and we are forgetting the real use of wordpress – to write a blog. While there are numerous themes that are of good quality – available for free download, there are not many paid themes on offer that are meant for just blog. If corporate people or Individual professional wants to have a super high design, they have to pay for a custom design which may or may not match their exact needs.

PremiumThemes.net
Dear reader, I am happy to announce the forth coming launch of http://premiumthemes.net/ which is just two weeks away, will be a home of premium quality free and paid themes. Each and every theme will be exclusively designed, strategically coded and commented, SEO optimized, with theme admin options, widget-ready, supporting famous plug ins, documented, good support and more… and yet, they will all be unbelievably affordable!

Small Potato wrote on raising personal standard for paid wordpress themes. Ofcourse, all the upcoming themes at Premiumthemes.net will follow this guidelines. However, there will be more. While I completely agree with that, I think one thing is lacking in the list and that is, power to the people. Theme Options is really a good Idea to give the control of the theme to the site owner. Giving basic options like

  • Adding Feedburner ID
  • Advertisement Management
  • Setting Page/Blog Width
  • Site Title/Logo as Image or Text?
  • Background color and Text Color settings
  • Sidebar on Left or Right?
  • Show at most (n) posts in Blog Index
  • etc.

Thomas Silkj?r at undersigned introduced theme options and that is really a wonderful feature if you wish to give the power to control the theme behavior to the real user. I am planning on adding this feature in WP Remix theme as well in near future.

A request: I firmly believe any product should be useful and according to the customer need. I request the reader to write their opinion on the premium themes. I would also request to specify your blog theme needs in comments. Who knows, i might just build a theme that will suit your need exactly?

Update: The premiumthemes.net website has been launched just before few days. Go check it here: http://premiumthemes.net/

Featured at Smashing Magazine

It always feels great to get recognition for your work. The Smashing Magazine has taken note of my work and my work got featured at Smashing Magazine twice in last two days.

First, in 100 top excellent high quality wordpress themes. However, I am surprised to be featured in magazine style themes section. The WP Premium is a simple 2/3 column theme and I don’t think it fits magazine like themes. But to be in top 100 is definitely encouraging. Also I am proud to be part of another two themes in the list that I have coded myself (can’t mention the names here as per the non-disclosure-agreement).

And now, the WP Remix, the wordpress master theme is featured in Premium WordPress themes are here to stay article.

Thank you smashing magazine. It boosts the confidence and it inspires me to bring in a more quality work in near future.

Free “WP Premium” Theme is here

UPDATE: a new, 2.7 ready version of this theme has been released and the theme is now available for download at here: http://cssace.com/wp-premium-theme


With the slow but steady success of The WordPress Master Theme – WP Remix, I am inspired to release a free but quality Wordpress theme. And as promised few days back, The WP Premium theme is going public today. “WordPress Premium” is an elegantly designed, 2/3 column, feature packed, widget ready theme that comes with three color-scheme options.

Here?s the preview

a sneak preview to ?Free WordPress Premier Theme?.

Color Schemes

When I requested user opinions last week, some of them said, why not release in all three colors? And I felt the same. The theme is bundled with all three colors. To change complete color scheme, all you need to do is, open the style.css and change the color style name to your favorite one. More instructions are in readme.txt file in the theme folder. As per suggestion of one of the user, WP Premium contains separate css for layout and color. That means if you only wish to change colors, you don’t have to mess with the other css styling.
