I purchased thesis theme recently and I am very happy with it. As well, the MAIN selling point is man the customer service is awesome. Every question I have had has been answered very quickly. I still have a new blog and I am still learning things but I will get there and with help

Hi,
I too was, in fact, am still planning to buy Thesis Theme. And frankly speaking my decision to buy is solely based on the reviews i have read. However, personally speaking lately my thought, of buying it, have started to wander. The reason being
1. Cost (I consider it to be too high)
2. No trial
Also, as Raju said above in the comments, wordpress is itself search engine optimized. I dont think spending 80 $ ( approx. 3200 Rs. ) is a good decision !

@Robinana,
You are completely free to disagree with me but SEO aspect of Thesis is way too much hyped. With a bare minimum knowledge about Title and header structures ANYONE can convert their theme to be SEO friendly. My current theme is not Thesis and it is as much SEO friendly as Thesis (if not more)

You are completely off base about Thesis. Sorry, but it’s true. It’s not just the panel that is great about Thesis. It is a professionally made theme that continually strives for excellence and can effectively bring you to page one rankings even if you are just a beginner in SEO and keywords. I have 2 sites that have free themes and 10 that are thesis. All of my thesis themes enjoy excellent traffic and page rankings for certain keyword phrases.

I tried purchasing Thesis and had a total nightmare. Payment didn’t get processed, there were no support email addresses published, getting anybody to respond took days.

In the end I purchased Headway and am glad I did. Between Headway (look, no affiliate link) and Atahualpa I can do everything I need to do.

Ian, I seriously suggest that you look at flexsqueeze. I use it on 8 out of 9 of my blogs, the other one uses Thesis. Because of the theme’s flexibility and ease of use, every blog has a unique appearance.

I’ve been looking at Thesis for some time now and debating about whether or not to purchase a license. I’m happy to hear there are other sites out there that are comparable in terms of features. Like many of the others here, I’d love to hear, and see, examples of other themes.

I am not considering Thesis because of all the SEO hype though…because, the fact of the matter is, SEO isn’t a turn-key “feature”. You need to know “how to SEO” in order for SEO to work…if that makes sense. Basically, you need to know what keywords people are searching on (among other factors) to make your site search friendly.

Hi Raju, I know this is kinda late but I’d like to thank you for including my review for the Isotherm theme. Appreciate the link love as well. More power to you and your blog!

I’ve been a long time fan/user of Atahualpa, in fact I have it on over 14 websites currently. I was excited to see the magazine one that you mentioned, because I’m not very happy with the mag theme I’m using on other sites. Thanks so much for sharing this, I wondered what they hype was and I suspected as .much. have a great day
