Over the past year I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Leland through his excellent WordPress resource, Theme Lab. While most designers have turned their attention to building premium WordPress themes, Leland is one of the few who has continued to release quite a few completely free WordPress themes which are of a comparable quality. Through his work with the WordPress community, he has been able to build a nice reputation as a coder and also build a loyal following.
About a month ago, Leland made me aware of a new project he was working on, building a business around the outstanding domain name CustomTheme.com. As you’d expect, this new project is a service building custom WordPress themes. While speaking with Leland, I was given the opportunity to be among the first to give the CustomTheme.com service a try (before it officially launched). I jumped at the opportunity and ended up having him build a custom design for a new website I’m working on, Blog Tutorials. Blog Tuts is similar to WPHacks.com, but will be expanded to cover SEO techniques, blogging tips, etc.
As far as the new design goes, here is a screen shot of the new custom design which was built specifically for Blog Tuts:
Last night I got the new design loaded on Blog Tuts and today I received word that Custom Theme was finally ready for the official launch, so I wanted to take a moment and let our readers know about this new service. According to the services page, Custom Theme is able to accommodate just about any type of WordPress design you may need, including blog themes, magazine themes, gallery themes, and even CMS themes.
As of the publishing of this article, right now the beginning rate for purchasing your own custom design is as low as $299.00, which you’ll find is very competitive within the custom theme market.

Nicen themes, good work :) 
How to display my wordpress site's tags as cloud in another html site? is there any code? I want to ...
Thanks for releasing this version. 
As your site has a lot of widgets, so I think it will significantly reduce the server usage. 
Hey Kyle, thanks for posting this! As of now, the prices do start at $299, but there may be additional costs depending on your needs/specifications.
Good luck with BlogTuts, by the way!
Thanks for the correction Leland. I have updated the post accordingly!
The idea New But They Show More Portfolio So we Can decide if they good or not
I’m sure the portfolio will continue to grow as more Custom Themes are built.
Good look with your BlogTuts project, already bookmarked.
$299 isn’t too bad for a custom theme, market value. Although according to my current earnings I couldn’t afford a premium or custom theme as of now. I guess I will just have to stick to the free, although sometimes very frustration, themes.
The price is very affordable, hope they quality is always top-notch. Good luck with the new service Leland.
