Why you should not buy a premium theme

September 7, 2008 by evl

This is something many people will not like this post for but spending money on a Wordpress theme is just a waste of money. Sure you might think you are buying something unique but that's not the case, the internet is big and people blog about themes, as soon as that theme hits the social networks everyone will want it and your unique theme will be out of the window. The myth of support I have bought some themes from people, even famous themers and the support sucks. If you are thinking of buying a theme and hoping for support when you want a bit of customization think again because if you need to buy a theme that already means you dont really know how to do the thing on your own so customizing would be out of the window. Premium themers want your money, when they have it you better hope they are some of the few that will help you sort out the issues the theme might have Open Source Open source is way better than buying a theme. Often I have the issue of wanting to use a theme on more than one site after I have started using it. If you have a premium theme that idea is out of the window as well. Open Source themes enables you to change it that it suits you and reuse it on all your sites without paying a hefty $200 So many great free themes You dont need to fork out $200 for a theme, all you need to do is search a bit harder. There are great sites, so many that it would be a post on its own that points out the great Wordpress theme sites. Wordpress.org also has a theme section now. If you cant find the perfect theme, search more. I am just writing this post out of experience with both themes and themers. Having bought a few themes and getting that expierence I would like to share it. Please remember not all premium themers are like this. Just somehow the ones that I have worked with.

I am not actually sure if Oribi gorge is close to Durban but I am sure it is. This is a photo of the toilet right at the gorge. Some view this is.

This is the perfect place to get lost in the bush. There are even lions. Well they are in enclosures but still, you get the sense of adventure.
