Quality WordPress Themes At ThemeFuse.com

The thing that matters the most in wordpress theme stores is not the fact that it is easy to use or the prices it has, it is the quality of themes that matters. So if you plan to launch a theme store then keep this thing in mind. If you take care of the quality of themes then nothing can come between you and success.

If you have ever searched for and bought a theme then you can totally understand what I mean. Suppose you find the-perfect-theme, would the price, the difficult transaction process or anything else matter to you? No. You would do anything to get it.

Now coming to ThemeFuse.com. The question that does it has some high-quality themes has a very simple answer, and that is yes!

This is what you are going to see when visiting ThemeFuse:

The tagline of ThemeFuse is “We create Original WordPress themes”, which is very plain and straight-forward. So if you are at the wrong place, it will only take you seconds to guess that.

The site has a nice and elegant showcase in the middle, the “View Gallery” button, and the $49 price tag. So lets see what the gallery looks like.

The gallery is very simple and to the point as it focuses on the most important thing of all — the themes themselves.

You will see that there are only 12 themes available, which might not seem very impressive as the rivals of ThemeFuse have a larger number of themes. But still these 12 themes stand out from others as they have amazing quality and are perfect. When you’ll look at the themes you will see that each theme has been designed to perfection. The kind of themes they have take a lot of Make money online to be designed, a lot more than $49 (the average price of a theme at ThemeFuse).

Like almost all the theme stores, ThemeFuse also has the live demo of themes. This feature is very important because the themes at ThemeFuse are not simple, plain and minimalistic with combination of only a post template, a page template, an index template, and an archive template like with most themes out there. But they are really complex (like any piece of art) and boasts a large number of different page templates, possible layouts and other great elements such as shortcodes, which is a very awesome feature. So I would strongly recommend checking out the Live.

The themes are very easy to use, even for beginners. They have an AfterCare Support center which is a really good initiative. Another really exceptional thing is the fact that each single theme has its own support forum and a detailed documentation!

Like most of the modern themes, each theme at ThemeFuse has a set of different color-schemes, dynamic sidebar widgets, various admin options and cross browser compatibility etc.

The themes are very eye-catching but the downer is that there are no themes for bloggers. By that I mean that every theme has a very professional look e.g it would be great if you are launching a site for a company, a new product/service, a magazine, or a portfolio-style photography site etc. But if you are planning to launch a blog i.e, a place where people can post daily entries about their personal experiences, hobbies and interests, then you won’t find any theme. But maybe we will soon see such themes there– who knows!

Now I think I have said enough about the site and we should talk about the transaction process and their highly advertized “one click auto install” feature.

Purchasing a theme at ThemeFuse

Now when you have selected a theme that you like and made up your mind to but it, then there are two options for you, you can either get a
Standard license ($49) or a Developer license ( $79). The developer version has a multiple site license, a set of all the PSD files, source files, and a discount voucher. Choose the option that suits you.

Now the checkout process is as easy as it could get! You can utilize a discount code if you have one and then continue to PayPal to finalize the transaction. It takes about 2 minutes to complete the whole deal.l

But there is a small ‘downer’! That being the size of the download file of the developer package, which is 283MB. This is quite big and takes some time in downloading but kvetching about it is not justified. PSD freebies take most of the space and the theme itself is only 32MB.

One click auto install feature

To be very frank, this feature is not impressive. The reason being that it is NOT a one click install, instead it is a one click database population. This means that you still need to actually install the theme yourself i.e uploading it to the hosting account and then activating it in WordPress. Only after this you come to the one click install phase. Go to the theme admin section and click the button tyo launch the one click install. What this will do is that you will now have a huge set of example data, which is a problem. Now the question is that why exactly that is a problem, the answer to this question is simple, you don’t need this great amount of example data on your new website! Because this will not at all help in your work and if it will not help then what is the use of it? Because at the end of the day you will need to replace it with your own content. So why not just simply start with a blank blog and fill it yourself?

The good news is that this feature is not mandatory, which means that you are able to say “no” to it. So it is not actually a big problem!

So now let’s see how a theme from ThemeFuse looks in different browsers.

Firefox:

Chrome:

Internet Explorer 8:

Yes, there is no difference and that is the point to note!

What I like about ThemeFuse:

  • Amazing quality of the themes with many good features like pixel-perfect design, beginner friendly, highly customizable.
  • Not expensive ($49 or $79 is not too much).
  • Awesome customer support section (forums, FAQs, documentation).
  • Quick and easy checkout process.
  • Simple, usable and straightforward design of ThemeFuse.com

What I don’t like about ThemeFuse

There are no ‘big’ flaws or problem but still I would like to point pout some little ones:

  • The one click install feature is not exactly that special.
  • Only 12 themes (But amazing 12 themes)
  • No themes for bloggers.

Overall impression: very good.

I know that some people are not that big a fan of premium WordPress themes. But after I think that most of the people who don’t like premium WordPress themes would change their minds!
