I’m a big fan of the Wordpress theme http://www.omnitheme.com. Compared to the others, its the best premium wordpress theme that I have used. Seems to be pretty popular too.

Good post. I have been looking at premium themes recently myself as potential total site cms solutions for my clients and have had difficulty trying to understand who the premium vendors are. I ended doing a post and eventually creating a permanent page of ones worthy of mention here:

Its a very hand picked list as I am quite discerning about who I add to it.

Your post makes some good points

I am all for premium themes as I believe they differtiate quality blogs from the mass. I am getting a 404 error on rockinthemes.com. Is there an issue with the site?

Thanks
Graham

just a heads up but the link for solostream needs to be corrected…(has an additional http)

to me premium themes will be what keeps the www from turning into myspace. wp themes are far to easy to modify and edit so even if a theme is used multiple times, lil tweaks will keep things from becoming stagnant.

thanks for the good read

I have also been seeing an uprise in premium themes, and I think it is a good thing, because there are so many bad themes out there atm.

I started making a few free themes myself, but my last is going to be a premium theme. I am unsure as to what market there is for premium themes, so I don’t know what price is reasonable.

Have a look at my premium theme in action: http://wordpress.jepson.no/

[...] Nathan Rice takes the view that Premium Themes are those of “higher quality and customization potential”. Although he doesn’t explain exactly what he means his post makes it clear that in his view part of the role of a premium Theme is to extend the potential of WordPress. More of a feature set than a theme by itself. [...]

Already I can’t wait to see!

I’ve had the intention of joining in the premium theme market for too many weeks, shamefully, but distractions, a family issue and my recent platform switch has kept me from reaching my initial goal for a Nov 1 launch of my first premium.

I’ve been following Michael’s work for a while now and it’s indeed impressive. I also scoped out Adii’s theme when he launched, and honestly I’m still on the fence about it. There are some clever features – I like the featured post swapping via thumbnails, and the tabbed content module which is so popular right now. But the drop down nav bugs me, and the design seems a little busy even for a news theme. I think it’s the chunky gray boxes of the main area that throw me off.

Anyway, at least he’s put it out there and that’s more than I can say for myself right now!
