Common Questions

Q: Regarding IP, do I retain the rights to my own theme and designs?

A: Of course. We are just the open marketplace. You do transfer license rights to purchasers based on terms you set, however.

Q: Do I have to be exclusive to Themes.com?

A: Not here. Your themes are your designs. Sell them whereever you want.

Q: Will you accept any design into your marketplace?

A: While we try not to be the arbiters of taste, our review makes sure that your themes match Rule #1 set forth in our Manifesto (i.e., "Don't suck"). The community will vote your design up or down and voice their pleasure or disgust accordingly. If there is a poorly coded theme, we do reserve the rights to remove it from the marketplace

Q: Is it true, I can charge whatever I want?

A: Yes. Absolutely... let the free market reign. If you have a good design with good support, then you should be paid what you deem is fair.

Q: Do I have to support the themes or templated that I've uploaded?

A: Providing Support is optional, but it may be foolish not to provide it. Support can be provided several ways, via the Comments, FAQs, or directly via email. We ask that you tell purchasers upfront what type of Support is provided. You will be scored in the Peer Review based on the Support that you provide, so poor support can result in the score for your theme dropping significantly. If the theme you submitted is non-functioning, then you will be asked by Themes.com to fix it, or we may remove it from the marketplace.

Q: What is a Peer Reviewed theme?

A: As most purchasers are also Designers, we ask them to provide feedback on the designs and themes they purchase. We score based on 5 categories: Design, Features, Support, Documentation, Value for Money. These reviews are visible on every theme profile page.

Q: Do you limit themes by category. That is, can there only be 100 WordPress themes?

A: Absolutely not. This is contrary to our mantra of letting "Good designs reign supreme". In a free market, the good designs backed by good support and sales history will rise to the top. If you want to stand out... compete on price, service, and quality. You can also consider categories with less competition, or promote your theme externally using your Affiliate ID. This is both good for awareness, but it will attract more search engines to your listing directly.
