Far and away, 2009 greatly exceeded my expectations at Organized Themes. The site grew from offering only three themes to now having 9 with more on the way. Thousands of people all over the planet are now using these themes to power their websites.
When I started Organized Themes, I wanted to create the best themes for churches, non-profits and schools to use for their WordPress powered sites. A funny thing happened though, as more people began to purchase my themes, I noticed more and more of them being used on sites other than the expected churches, non-profits and schools. It all started with a yoga studio purchasing the Sky Church theme. This trend really grew and so I started making my themes more generalized as you can see especially with Gallery, Media and Visual. While making this change has led to more sales, it has taken Organized Themes off the course I set for it at the beginning.
So starting on January 18, I am launching a new WordPress theme club called Theme Weaver. This site will feature WordPress themes for a more general audience, while Organized Themes will again be more specifically geared to churches and organizations. The other change here is to announce the theme package will remain at $50 for all the themes here at Organized Themes. So for less than the cost of one theme from many of the other theme developers you can have access to all of the themes here at Organized Themes.
I’m also offering a special deal right now through the launch of Theme Weaver on January 18, buy a Theme Package at Organized Themes, get a one year membership to Theme Weaver.net for free. There is already a great crop of themes on the way. The first theme called Flow already has a demo that you can check out here. It is a streamlined theme that allows you to easily showcase your images, videos or thoughts.
It’s been a pleasure helping you create some amazing sites during 2009 and I know that 2010 is going to have even more excitement.
If you have something you’d like to see in a theme, leave me a comment to let me know.
