"There is massive demand for stylish and practical WordPress themes," says SitePoint CEO Luke Cuthbertson. "Our objective is to help web designers and developers learn how to cash in on this booming market."
"And what a booming market it is," adds marketing director Shayne Tilley. "A successful WordPress theme marketplace is selling anywhere between ten to fifteen thousand themes each month, with some theme developers earning over $25K in that same period!"

- Use design elements effectively to create amazing themes
- Leverage the power of the Thematic framework
