I for one only use premium themes. Not to say there are no good free themes out there, but for the most part premium themes offer high quality, with a lot of versatility. The cost is usually pretty cheap. Of course, I always customize these themes…changing colors, layout, and other things to make the theme more unique to me and server the project better. This saves tons of time in development.

Hi George,

Yes, I really do think that Elegant Themes is about the best deal out there. Anf really, for beginning bloggers who want a great looking theme, that’s maybe a step up from some of the better quality free stuff out there, I can’t think of many better options.

Once someone is a bit more comfortable with design and customization, think thesis (for non coders) and/or hybrid (more complicated but “free”) are the next logical step.

btw, I like what you’ve done with your theme … when I first clicked over I thought the color choices were a bit “interesting” … but the more I look, the more I like the way it seems to have a bit of “pop” to it.

Hi Lis,

I am very thankful for Justin’s support forum, as I still know pretty much “just enough to be dangerous” when it comes to customizing my themes … and hybrid is probably one of the most customizable ones out there … if you can just figure out how to understand all the options.

I’m using Thesis theme at the moment, but I have heard a lot of praise about Elegant themes. You get many themes for a low yearly fee. I doubt many can match that on the net.

I agree Todd – I find myself moving more and more away from “free” too – and I agree I think Thesis is over-rpcied. I love Elegant Themes and have found their support excllent too. Must admit I havent joined Justin’s support forum – sounds like I should!
