Artisteer has done a lot of good work on WP themes. It is not too expensive either. If you do not have much time to work on the HTML and CSS then it is worth it.

I was hoping for much more practical info – differences between a theme and a theme framework – it mentions Themeforest, but what about Thesis, WPRemix, ThemeHybrid, ElegantThemes – or even Artisteer.
Also, I don’t agree on the need for “uniqueness” for a business site.
Thanks for this post, Marc

Nice presentation, not with the stuff I want to change anyway.
How does creating a PSD turn into theme changes? I haven´t understood that. Could you throw me in the direction so I can read up on this.
Thanks.

Thanks and nice presentation.
One question though. If I find a premium theme that I like, it has lots of nice features and looks just about right for what I want.

Thanks for the answer.

I´m using Arthemia Premium and there all they talk about is paid customisation so I don´t think they will change stuff for free :p

Just saw this great article from Boag World: 3 ways to make your site stand out from the crowd

Their headline reads “Too many websites look the same as their competition. If you want users to remember your site it needs to stand out from the crowd.”

@erica and Ed Kingston Thanks!

@manga If you purchase themes from Theme Forest, 99% of them include the full PSD (Photoshop Document). So if you’re familiar with Photoshop, you can customize the design to your hearts content. If you are wanting to change the code behind the theme, I would highly recommend first contacting the author. I’ve received lots of requests to update my themes and actually released updates (FREE updates) that include the requested features.

@Marc Beneteau I only had 5 minutes, so I couldn’t go into much detail unfortunately.

Regarding uniqueness, try as hard as you can to be different (but not a freak). If money or time is preventing you from guaranteeing a 100% unique theme, I agree with you 100%

unreal……would love you to check out my website and tell me if I’m a freak as I designed it myself, self taught!!!!

Also, I don’t agree on the need for “uniqueness” for a business site. With a unique banner and some color tweaking, there is very little need anymore for a unique design

Nice presentation.

One question though. If I find a premium theme that I like, it has lots of nice features and looks just about right for what I want.

But there are some slight things I want to change. Should I give the author of the Premium theme a suggestion for a modification or should I try and edit the theme myself for the very best result?

That´s my question as I throw it out.
