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

bloom-theme

Triumph Theme

triumph-theme

Elements 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)

vintmint-theme

Simplista Lifestream Theme (Not Yet Released)

simplista-theme

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).

If you’d like to learn more about WordPress Now, you can read more about the features and support information here.

New One Theme Features:

  • Four Featured Categories
  • More Tag Management
  • Sidebar Image Styles
  • Remove Content Limit
  • Social Bookmarks
  • Contact Page Template
  • Exclude Author Information
  • SEO Friendly Search Result URL’s
  • 125×125 Banners
  • Related Articles Feature
  • Affiliate Link Ready
  • Title Limit Option
  • Embed Code for Featured Video
  • No Sidebars Page Template

Here are screenshots of a couple of the new layouts you have to choose from.

One Theme News Homepage

One Theme Blog Homepage

And here is my favorite new feature:

Readers can click the tabs to see bookmark options and tags.

If you are interested in this theme, despite all of the improvements, it looks like One Theme is still listed at the same prices!   You still have the following choices: Webmaster ($99.00), Webmaster Pro ($199.00), or the Web Developer License ($299.00).
