What Makes a Premium WordPress Theme?

By Cory Miller • September 30, 2008

A while back, we commissioned the production of a Premium WordPress Theme Guide as a way to help educate people in the ins and outs of a commercial WordPress theme.

Today we’re finally unveiling this theme guide.

Our hope is that this guide will take some of the mystery out of premium themes and give you the confidence to choose a theme that will work for you.

In this Premium Theme Guide, we’ve covered some topics we think will be beneficial for you to make the best possible purchase decision, like:

  1. What you should know before you even start looking at themes
  2. How to assess a theme’s quality
  3. What you should be getting when you purchase a theme

Check out the Premium WordPress Theme Guide here, or download a printable PDF version here.
