WordPress Now Launches with Fresh New Designs
The premium WordPress themes market has continued to grow and evolve over the past two years, so much so that we’ve started seeing a few complaints that all of the premium themes seem to generally look the same. It seems a few designers are setting the trends while the rest of the designers just follow and release similar themes, causing many of them to just look like variations of the others.
One of the theme designers that recently caught my eye is a team of WordPress theme developers who launched a new website called WordPress Now. Since the website has launched, they’ve already got three themes released, and the have two more which are in their final development stages.
Here are the three designs that WordPress Now currently has for sale:
Bloom Theme

Triumph Theme

Elements Theme

To see the true flexibility of these themes, you can view the live demos of each theme here.
As an added bonus, I spoke to the developers at WP Now and was able to land a couple sneak previews of upcoming premium themes that haven’t been released yet.
Vintmint Blog Theme (Not Yet Released)

Simplista Lifestream Theme (Not Yet Released)

So, what all is included with the purchase of a WordPress Now theme? Your purchase includes a number of features (features differ with each individual theme), a large FAQ for answering questions, tutorials for getting started, and of course theme support!
WordPress Now also offers some impressive price options, offering their themes for as low as $49.00 to start, as well as offering a few WordPress developer options for designers. Their two unreleased themes (shown above) will be available at even lower prices ($29.00 and $39.00 respectively).

Download StudioPress/Revolution WordPress Themes!
Note: As of January 1, 2009, it looks like Revolution/StudioPress themes are no longer free to download. They are all now available individually for $59.95 or ALL Revolution themes for $249.95.
Last month we wrote about Brian’s huge announcement that Revolution was going open source. At that time, the original launch date was scheduled for November 1st, but in the time since then the entire Revolution team has come together and managed to get Revolution 2 ready for an early launch!
As of today, Revolution is officially available to the WordPress Community. Included with the Revolution launch are 8 incredible new themes (10 if you count the two blog theme variants) which were designed to fill a large number of different niches. So far the choices include magazine themes, professional themes, media themes, photo themes, video themes, and even blog themes. Best of all, they are available to download completely FREE!
What is the catch? Well, there isn’t one. The themes are 100% free, but there is a small fee attached to any extras you may want. With purchase of either the yearly pro membership, or the pro plus lifetime membership (Revolution all-inclusive package owners already have this), you will get the following benefits:
- Unlimited support answered by our experts
- Learn customization techniques with our detailed theme tutorials
- Professional design services available by our list of recommended designers
- Discounted general consulting rates
- Increase your search rankings with a link from the Revolution site directory

After looking around, I am already very impressed with how the site is setup and can see just how this site will grow in time to be a focal point in the WordPress community. What do you think of this new business model? Will it replace the current premium WordPress themes market in your opinion, or will you still be willing to spend your money when themes of this quality are available completely free?
