Over the past few years WordPress was the dominating weblog engine, It is because of its easy to use environment, the wide availability of themes, plugins and other add-ons as well as the support from the huge community that made. But what is even more important is the fact that WordPress is an Open Source project. Means every one can read and understand its well documented Source Code since it is free of cost.

Over the past years, we can see that Premium WordPress themes designed by the Freelance designers are getting much importance and demand in the market.

What is the Fact ?

So what’s the reason behind a Paid Premium theme if there are millions of free alternatives ? The Quality. You know we have to give more importance to the quality rather than the quantity and the cost. Among the thousands of free alternatives only some of the designs has the basic functionalities within a customized design. Most of them are derivative of a basic templates too…

Advantages vs. Disadvantages

Kyle Scove has recently written a detailed article about the ‘Advantages of the Premium WordPress themes‘.

“The availability of premium themes

  • gives WordPress users a chance to stand unique in the crowd of free themes,
  • benefits the designers by allowing them the opportunity to do the work once, then have a steady source of income trickle in
  • will likely result in even more income than if they were to create a custom made theme for a client.”

In this context, it is also important to understand that designers will be able to benefit from a premium theme if and only if the premium theme has something special to offer and there are users who might actually need it. More importantly, it’s important that users are willing to pay for it — many bloggers tend to replace WordPress themes on a regular basis.
