I was infact planning to buy a thesis theme for my site Raju, but Atahualpa looks promising

Great post, I was curious about some of the features of thesis and this pretty much answers all my questions. The amount of comments reenforces your article which is awesome. Going to be checking out Atahualpa and Thematic now. Thanks.

I am never gonna spend money on premium themes when you have hell lot of themes available for free which any given day beat the layout and features of a premium themes.

Why don’t you have a Thesis affiliate link in your article? I think you would still make money through it

I have just made my decision which theme to use and since I want others to make their decisions freely I am not going to tell you what I have decided to get. But I will tell you what helped me to decide.

I have checked several sites with the W3C’s CSS validator (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/). If you believe that clean code will help you with compatibility, performance, and SEO, then I suggest you do the same test.

Completely agree with the article, I have been using the theme Atahualpa and it has so many customization options ( Roughly around 250) , after I started using the Atahualpa theme , I have seen huge boost in my traffic from search engines.

For those who can afford and can not afford thesis, there is a free alternative theme ( SWIFT ) for thesis.It’s actually better than thesis

Thanks for your info about other themes that may be as feature rich as Thesis. I’m going to try the two you mentioned.

My experience with many of the free themes is this: ultimately you run into some problem or if you want to tweak it you find there is little or no documentation and it is difficult find help or support. You really have to be a hacker (I’m not) to tweak wordpress and/or the themes. If a theme is not regular updated, it eventually breaks and with these free themes…the publishers often quit…and then you’re stuck…unless you are a geek.

I like free but free usually has its own price.

With Thesis, I’ve found there is a large community of users and it is easy to get answers to questions, how to’s or problems. There is ever more documentation and the product gets regularly updated.
