History
Studiopress.com was originally founded back in 2009 by Brian Gardner after he experienced a great deal of success with selling his own themes. Most people who have used wordpress themes will remember his theme Revolution which was by far the most popular theme he created at that time. In many ways it’s said that Brian was the first one to actually start selling wordpress themes as a business online. He showed a whole new generation of theme creators that you could actually charge and make money by building wordpress themes which up to that point were mainly offered for free online. The revolution theme really kicked wordpress themes into high gear as it was created as a magazine theme in a time when the majority of free themes were just regular blog styles.
Studiopress recently merged with CopyBlogger Media in September of 2010. Brian and his team will still play a major role in the development of themes but CopyBlogger Media is owned by Brian Clark.
How does Studiopress Work?
Studiopress focused on providing premium based themes which can be purchased individually. They are not a membership based club like many of the other sites that are found online and so a great deal of care is taken to provide the highest quality themes. Their themes are based off their own unique code called “ Genesis Framework.” It has 6 layouts, fixed width and threaded comments along with it being search engine optimized with high end security The benefit of using their framework is the structure is kept separate from the design, meaning you could update the child theme weekly and it wouldn’t affect your rankings. If your using their framework along with their themes, then you get unlimited updates, unlimited support and you can place their themes on as many domains as you like. They have basically integrated wordpress and the genesis them together. So if you need to update wordpress you do it through them. You have several choices when it comes to purchasing They currently at the time of writing this have 36 themes which are similar yet will cater to a vast audience You are definitely getting clean coded, sharp looking themes and great support from a well-known company who have a large team of respected designers and programmers behind them. I personally feel that they gear their sites towards business more than anything else and they stick within a very similar appearance. I wish they could shape it up a bit by changing the look and layout by using different textures in their themes. Though it’s hard to find anything bad to say about this company they are really providing a strong base of themes. Studiopress have attempted to avoid any direct support but I can vouch that the support they do provide is good. Documentation for their themes is readily available on their website. If you entered a problem with your purchase you can get a refund up to 30 days which is very uncommon for digital products as they can’t get their theme back. So I would assume they have some type of licence in place so that if you do buy a theme from them and refund they could switch off the theme and prevent you from using it. Or they will closely monitor the site you said you was going to place it on. Areas you can find support for themes you have purchased are; Address for Studiopress No mailing address given.The genesis theme has many more benefits such as;
