Amazing Wordpress Theme - I want it!
Late last night after doing all my Christmas shopping online I found myself wondering how I was going to pay for it all (god bless having children) and started looking at wordpress themes for a product based domain that seemed to be available to buy.
It was then that I came across what is potentially one of the best themes I have yet seem for Wordpress.
Revolution Themes have released a few different styles that really push Wordpress to the next level and provide an entry level solution to getting an online magazine up and running in the space of a few hours.
Ultimately if I was to buy a theme I’d probably want to get the full pack that is priced at $500 and slightly out of my price range (if anyone wants to buy me a Christmas gift you’re more than welcome) but I imagine there is a lot that can be done with these - would love to see a site like Lee’s Pleo Toy in this kind of template.
While we are talking of themes I’ve found a few more themes and plugins recently that are really neat & will be adding them to the Wordpress Theme and Plugin back in the next few days.

I actually bought the magazine theme last week and paid $249 for the developers rights. So far I am very, very impressed but still have a long way to go in the customisation stakes.

I’m still to be convinced about the merits of using Wordpress for a ‘magazine’ type site. It’s fine for blogs but I would think something custom built would be better suited. There’s only so far Wordpress can stretch in my humble opinion!

If your a digitalpoint user you get a discount of 25% which brings the price right down. I’m not sure if thats just a single ($99 making it $75) or will also apply to the whole pack.
saving 25% on the pack would be excellent. You quote DPSALES im sure
Ohh and don’t mention it.

I use the original revolution theme on my own site(s) and I really like it. I balls up a little as I host my blog on a server that doesn’t support mod_rewrite and the revolution theme needs that for full-blown custom permalinks (that’s why I’ve got the /index.php/ bit stuck in my urls).
The tech revolution theme is smart. But maybe this one is even smarter: http://www.premiumnewstheme.com/
love the way the photo handling works!

James - where did you get the ‘full pack $500′ price from pls, and what is it? I can only see the $250 developers price.

James - I think these themes are superb. I’ve just launched my new product review site based on a mash of several RT themes and wondered what you thought? Its at http://www.gadgetheaven.co.uk - its in beta as I’m still uploading the content.

Did you ever buy the Revolution theme? I just bought the Revolution magazine theme last week and I am so pleased. It’s amazing how easy it is to customise and how good it looks!
