WordPress Theme- Thesis is a Winner

July 15, 2008 · Comments

Chris Pearson has now, once again, created a delightful and powerful and useful WordPress theme called Thesis that I think is worth the paltry $87 USD he charges for it. I am gawking at it, wondering if it’s going to be the next evolution of [chrisbrogan.com] . It’s really that good looking and powerful.

See, that’s the thing with Pearson. He doesn’t just make gorgeous themes. They do something. They have typography, SEO, administration, and other tweaks built all through them.

If you’re looking to start a new professional blog or give your existing WordPress blog a much more poewrful theme than the free one you found on that site one day, you might give Thesis a look-see.

Oh, and in case you didn’t know, it’s Chris’s fault that CopyBlogger looks so good.

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • I enjoyed reading this post,its absolutely amazing.
  • I was looking at this one myself, since I've changed my theme twice in as many months. It looks good.

    Winter, spring, summer, or fall, Ugg Boots work. Being exceptionally warm, your feet stay cozy in the cold weather. Because they are made from natural sheepskin materials, the fibers breath and your feet won't get sweaty or smelly in the warm weather, either.
  • Thesis is an incredibly practical and beautiful theme. The formatting Chris teaches for Thesis is so simple. We've used this on client's blogs and I'm wondering about making the switch myself.
    Go for it Chris!
  • I'm a proud Thesis user and I love it. The first version was good and the second version is better. Plus once you purchase it, you get the upgrades for free. Also Chris is still coming up with new things. I read in the comment section of Thesis that he's planning on a magazine style layout as well for it.

    Definitely worth the $87 bucks!
  • Wow - that is slick.
    And $87 is a STEAL for that kind of user customization and readability.
  • Hi Chris,

    Considering the amount of money people pay consultants to design websites for them, this looks like something to seriously consider.

    If he's got all the code in there, all you need to do is customize the design to the client's preference. Do you know a good Boston area designer?

    For that matter, do you know a good Boston area Wordpress coder?

    How about someone who knows both? That is the holy grail.

    Sometimes I just want to pass off website design and support to someone I know will handle the initial install and customization, and then be there for ongoing support.

    It doesn't even have to be someone local, but I'd be interested in finding out if there is someone local like this.

    One thing to keep in mind when moving to a Wordpress.org site like this is that you need to handle all the upgrades and backups...

    If you aren't prepared to do that http://wordpress.org is a good alternative, among others.
  • I meant http://wordpress.com is a good option for those not interested in hosting a http://wordpress.org blog.
  • Thesis is a fantastic theme. I just purchased it about 2 weeks back and already Chris has given the theme an upgrade that sets it so far apart from other premium themes.

    But, it isn't just the theme that you're buying. You're getting a phenomenal support system which Chris himself manages. His customer service is second to none, which I personally believe is hard to put a price on.

    Thesis is only going to get better, which is unbelievable considering how good it already is.
  • Thesis looks fairly nice :)
  • I'm a newbie blogger (and new to this site, as well) and I loved the look of THESIS, but was worried I wouldn't be able to figure it out and there'd go my 87 bucks.

    So, I wrote to what I thought was a big company asking if there was a money back guarantee for idiots like me and within 24-hours I received an email from Chris Pearson himself saying he'd happily refund my money if I had any trouble. With PRE-SERVICE like that, I'm goin' for it.

    Thanks for all of the great info on this site!
  • I'm going to release a free Thesis killer in the next few weeks. Better typography, better SEO, better everything. And it will be free.
  • the information which is given on this website is very help full... thank you
