One of the many great things about using WordPress to power your site is that there is no shortage of themes to choose from. The Extend section of wordpress.org is full of fantastic free themes. Another excellent source of free themes is weblogtoolscollection.com. In case you didn't know, I toil away in the forums over there testing new themes and inspecting files for malicious code. I've also been writing the "theme/plugin release posts" while the regular author Perurry is on hiatus.
While the supply of quality free themes seems to be never ending, have you ever considered using a commercial (paid) theme? I have purchased themes from some of the biggest players in the market including StudioPress, iThemes and WooThemes and have yet to be disappointed. For the most part the price is quite reasonable and the support top-notch. Well hold on to your hats because I'm going to tell you how to get an armful of quality paid themes for FREE.
RichWP.com currently has a dozen premium themes in its stable. They offer 2 versions of each theme: a regular version which retails at $69.90 and a pro version that goes for $127.00. They also offer an All Themes PRO Package valued at $467.00. RichWP.com is listed in the Commercial section of the WordPress Extend site just so you know they aren't some fly by nighter.
Anyway, the gang at RichWP is getting set to launch its next generation of commercial themes, tentatively scheduled for somewhere around mid-June and is offering its current stock of commercial themes for free. Yes, you heard me correctly, FREE. Why? I'll let them explain it,
This is the BOLDEST Marketing Move in the history of the Premium WordPress Theme Market. I am really proud of my work and I want YOU to use it. This one is for you. Save Work, Time and Money.
In a nutshell, the next generation of themes will take advantage of the new functionality introduced by WordPress 3.0. As a way to stir interest RichWP is offering its current products at no charge. That's a $467.00 value for free, more if you purchase the themes individually. While the current themes do not take advantage of the new functionality introduced by WordPress 3.0 they won't break your site either - they are fully compatible.
I should mention that you will need to provide an email when you go to RichWP. They will then send you the download link. I say this up front because I know some people are uncomfortable with this practice. But don't worry, as I said these guys are not some fly by nighters, they are legit. They also use GetResponse, one of the leaders in the field of email marketing campaigns. You can unsubscribe from the email list at any time.
If you've ever considered using a paid theme the time couldn't be more right. You'll have to hurry though. This offer will expire soon.
