The link to the selling page is not working.

Keep up the good work Ross, your blog really is excellent.

I agree with Ros. You really do get what you pay for. I know the commercial links found on a lot of free themes are there to compensate the coder. But, gheesh, do I want to advertise a casino in Europe on my subtle little religious site?

Another big factor is whether it’s widget-ready, or at least has some SEO features built-in….most of them don’t.

Please. If anyone knows of any good looking free themes with really good functionality embedded, please let us know.

Nice themes are a lot harder to find or free then most people are willing to accept. :/

I agree. There are plenty you can get for free like this. Its seems cheap looking for $100… Also if you head to revolutiontheme.com you can find a WAY better news theme for less! Plus they offer tutorials etc…

Patrick,

Thanks for stopping by and adding your comment.

I must disagree with your suggestion that you can find themes ‘just like this for free’. I haven’t found anything remotely this attractive or feature rich on the free download theme sites.

However, if you can point our readers to free themes that you deem as ‘art’, then please, feel free to supply us with the URL’s.

Cheers,
Ros

It just seems to un-conceptual. It looks like there was no thought behind the code, other than to make money from it. I don’t know, I just don’t think that people need to have replicated themes distributed for money. You can find a theme just like this for free. When we make themes, we try and make them as unique as possible, and cheap. But I guess that’s just our opinion, you know – to have theory, thought, and concept behind your art. I suppose Monet never did that either…
