A Lot of designers and developers are asking the same question. What do people want from a premium theme?
Here I provide you with some key features people expect from a premium theme and example themes.
- Flexible layout design:
- Two/ Three Columns option
- Flexible width/ Fixed Width
- Dueling sidebar option
- Different theme color
- Customizable Header and Logo
- Input JavaScripts like Google analytics at footer
- Content Slide Show
- Sidebar Tab
- The ability to change what to display on post top meta data and bottom meta data
- Elegant layout that always on top of the trend
Some start up bloggers don’t have any idea about what they want. They expect to learn on the fly, so flexibility is a Must
Premium Theme Check Mate Gives people some flexible Choices
Many free and commercial themes have this ability, but not all of them are very effective. Here are some good examples:
WooThemes Allow you to input a logo URL
CheckMate theme can detect a logo in custom folder
K2 allows you to crop a header of your own.
Most premium theme have this feature as it is quite simple to implement.
This two free premium themes from topwpthemes have a simple content slider
Commercial theme from StudioPress
From all premium themes I researched they either don’t have this feature or the tab contents cannot be changed. There used to be a plugin can do this job, but according to many people the tab widget had stopped working months ago
Not many themes have this feature, it seems only K2 has this option
You can find both free and commercial themes with elegant layout.
