Thesis 2.0 will Hit the Market with Higher Price for Developer Edition

by on May 21, 2010 · 42 comments

You probably know that we are using Thesis Theme WordPress on our blog, and I actually have a Developer Edition which gives me the option to use it freely on all my blogs and enjoy free upgrades, also have the chance to test new versions before others. This is why I am kind of exciting and can not wait till I put my hands on Thesis 2.0 and play with it, Thesis Theme it’s the best framework that worked for me so far.

I know a lot of bloggers in our blogging community who are using Thesis Theme on their blogs, so… I thought you might be interested to know that Thesis 2.0 is going to be released soon, but I don’t know when exactly it will be available for us, Thesis 2.0 release date is not mentioned yet anywhere, the thing is I have seen a few Google AdSense ads on some sites and blogs marketing for Thesis 2.0 and encouraging buyers to get it early before the price goes higher, I don’t know if you have seen these ads yourself or not, but just do a search for Thesis Theme in Google and you will be able to see it on the top of search page!

Thesis 2.0 will be on sale for $297

Yes, the rumor says Thesis 2.0 will be on sale for $297 which is higher than today’s price, this is why I recommend to all developers, designers and bloggers who are thinking or struggling, buy Thesis Developer Edition today for $164, or if you already had the standard license edition then upgrade to Developer’s Option now for only $77 under the current pricing structure.

Get it today before Thesis 2.0 hits the market

I promote Thesis Theme because I am using it, I love it, and I depend on it as one of my top sources of income. And probably this is why I started to design my own Thesis Skins trying to help a wide range of Thesis members, especially internet marketers! I am recommending buying Thesis Theme today before Thesis 2.0 hits the market.

Check out Thesis Awesome.com for the best Thesis Skins!

If you are interested to know more about this awesome theme, then come visit again after the weekend as I am preparing a new blog post that will tell you what top niche designers say about Thesis Theme, and how they customize it to create the best unique blogs and websites design, you really don’t want to miss it.

OMG…almost $300 . If Pagelines (Platform PRO) focus on SEO will definitely beat Thesis !

This is such BS. I love Thesis but the whole marketing strategy is about scaring people into buying it now or else they won’t be able to afford it later. They’ve been saying 2.0 release was imminent for a while now and here we are almost 2011 and still no 2.0.

Then affiliate marketers like this blog reiterate the same crap about ‘better buy now or else’ so it gets them clicks…

Hi Evan,

This is what I was thinking when I saw AdSense ads allover the internet, I thought it was done by Thesis author, but no! This is someone who is trying to sell at any cost, this has nothing nothing to do with thesis author!

I just got it after 1.8 was released!

Anyways, at least it’s a good theme!

Hi – do you have any video tutorials on how to use Thesis Theme – and the different things it can do. Also, should you buy thesis skins or just edit code yourself? I don’t know much css (just a little), but i know a bit of php and html. Problem is you need to pay more for each skin – could end up costing a lot.

Hi John,

I don’t really know about video tutorials more than the basic ones, I prefer to search for what I need then implement it into my code, this process will take a lot of time and effort actually!

This is why I am starting a new membership site for Thesis Skins, and price will be so affordable that anyone can join, I will also give the option to members to download all skins I have created!

I am still working on producing more skins right now before pronouncing the service, but if you need to take a look and see what I have got, then plz drop me an email and I will give you more details!

My personal blog is running on ElegantThemes, that’s right! I actually have 4 blogs running on Elegantthemes because I love Nike’s work, and he is always supporting us!

FamousBloggers was my first Thesis blog! I will email you my other blog and project link via email because I don’t want to share it here yet ;)

AJ June 16, 2010 at 4:21 pm

I just checkout the email. Thanks for sharing :) You have some good stuff here.

And yes…I am also a huge fan of Nick’s work and have been a part of his membership for quite some time. Not only does he offer the cheapest themes on the web but really high quality.

Looks like you spend quite some time blogging…is this your main job?

I absolutely love Thesis Theme and I have no regrets buying the developer’s edition despite being a blogging dud. It is no wonder that it has succeeded despite the price factor. Looking forward to the release of Thesis 2.0!

If the price was for a single site license, then I would agree that $297 is steep compared to other WP themes, but with the developer’s license you can use it on unlimited sites. Plus free upgrades forever and access to the excellent support. Many website developers design 20+ sites in a year, so the theme pays for itself quickly. It will be interesting to see what’s under the hood in Thesis 2.0.

Hesham May 25, 2010 at 10:49 pm

This is true Bill, actually I don’t think Thesis is a good choice for bloggers who don’t know about design or coding, this is why it’s perfect for designers!

I also can not wait to see what’s Thesis 2.0 will have for us, thank you so much for stepping by today!

Jim July 23, 2010 at 2:27 am

I’m afraid that Thesis won’t earn itself back if you design for others. Here a quote from the Thesis website:

“Sites that you own” are any sites where you are listed as the person (or business) who registered the domain. Also, no matter which option you purchase, you may never resell Thesis or bundle it with other products that you sell or distribute.

This means that you can design for others as long as you keep the domain name under your name. And which designer does that..?

Does the personal license remain unchanged or increased too?

Thesis theme is good but I am not much of a fan of it. I feel this theme is little over ratted.

Those who want to buy it should buy it soon.

Can’t beat that promo you are offering Hesham. Sadly, I already bought Thesis and don’t need to right now. Anyway, for what it’s worth, this is a great price and I totally recommend Thesis for anyone. I use it and I love it too :)

The thing is Thesis 2.0 is not out yet, and the old price still valid, even the new price is not yet officially pronounced, I have got it from Google AdSense while search for some Thesis stuff!

They really have a great marketing strategy DiTesco

Typhoon’s right. I mean, Thesis is great (absolutely no question about that), but aside from the quality, and the tremendous recommendation, is such A BIG price increase justified?

In an market perspective, the worst case scenario is that this might bolster up the sales of competitors (i.e. WooThemes)

I think all people who worked using Thesis will not pay attention to increasing it’s price and they will still recommend it… same as I do!

Yes… you are right about other competitors can sell more, but what about today? would anyone get Thesis for the “now” price to avoid paying more in future?

Dose Thesis Theme worth the $164 price of today?

Well.. I know that you can actually buy the whole internet and it won’t cost you $297 :) just kidding!

Put in mind that we are talking here about Developer Edition, those are people who are actually making money from it!

hmm..$297 for a theme! That’s higher than any membership plan of wordpress themes directory like WooThemes etc.

I think those who will be looking to use Thesis in future should quickly buy Thesis right now to get free future updates if what heshman is saying is correct.

By the way, What’s more in Thesis 2.0? Any news on that? And any reason behind the price rise?

I have no idea yet about it’s new features, but all what I know that it’s going to chance the world lol and Yes.. it’s actually a very high price, but let’s see what they have for that price for us!

Anyways, I think this is a very good marketing strategy!

Kristi Hines May 24, 2010 at 2:59 pm

It’s $297 for the developer’s edition which allows you to install the theme on several of your own site, vs. the personal license that only allows you to use it on one site.

I wonder if the price increase has to do with the fact that a lot of things will have to change with WordPress 3.0 and HTML 5 coming out soon.
