Blogging Tips

Many people will tell you that, when it comes to the Internet, quality is king. If you don’t have good content that is valuable to your site visitor in some way, it’s unlikely that they’ll come to visit you again. That’s why it is very important to pay attention to how you are presenting this content too.

WordPress is a very powerful content management system and you have many options when it comes to its overall appearance. If you are looking for some different themes, you may want to point your attention over to PremiumThemes.com, a “luxury WordPRess theme marketplace” where you can find “every type of theme for every type of need.”

Many Premium Themes in One Place

If you’re expecting something completely different with Premium Themes, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. After all, it’s not that different from other theme marketplaces that you may find elsewhere on the web. That’s not to say that it should be ignored either.

The developers behind PremiumThemes promise that they will be releasing at least one new theme every month, giving you a good variety from which to choose. It doesn’t really matter what kind of WordPress site you want to run, since you’ll probably find a suitable theme in this marketplace.

Navigating through the available options is quite easy, as they are all shown as large thumbnai images in the premium themes showcase. Also from that page, you can access previews, details, and purchase links.

Sample Theme: Wedding 1

The best way to take a look at what Premium Themes has to offer is to, well, look at what they have to offer. One of the themes in the marketplace is called Wedding Theme 1.

While it has since been succeeded by Wedding Theme 2 and Wedding Theme 3, I still find the first one to be the most aesthetically pleasing, especially for this niche. The simple white and pink color scheme is perfectly suitable for the nuptial occasion.

Simple text links are located near the top for navigation and the single right sidebar gives space for an about blurb, recent comments, blogroll, and so forth. The search bar integration is quite attractive too.

Sample Theme: Ocean

For something a little different, you may want to consider the Ocean Theme. Originally added way back in October 2008, this theme still holds up to contemporary design trends.

You get several shades of blue, offering a sense of depth. There appear to be two right sidebars, one of which for categories and archives, and the other for 125 x 125 ad blocks. The large footer provides more room for additional content.

Two Ways to Buy Premium Themes

How you pay for the WordPress themes on PremiumThemes.com is up to you. Going to the pricing page, you’ll find two main options, each of which is broken down into a personal license and a developer license.

Buying individual themes with a personal license will cost you $59. This allows you to use the theme on up to three websites. The $109 developer license allows for unlimited site usage and it also includes the source PhotoShop (PSD) files for modification purposes.

If you want to have more themes in the long term, the theme membership option may be more suitable. The $59 and $109 base cost is the same as above, but you pay an additional $20 per month to access any new themes released during the course of the membership.

These prices seem fair and are in line with other theme marketplaces. Does PremiumThemes.com stand out from the competition? Not really, but it’s no slouch either.
