look at themeforest.net and some of those themes :)

I think the issue is that the support could eventually become an issue, so I would suggest pricing on the higher end for a theme, and making it is as general as possible and catered toward business. Think a 5 color theme that is 100% nice.

The issue i see for you is that you may have people emailing you to tweak the design, which is good and bad. Bad in that they may want you to change the theme, but good in that you may receive business and RFQs that you wouldn't otherwise have had with having your name out there. With the blog app we have a lot of support, not just through the support forum. A lot of these are genuine issues, some are gripes, but overall all customers have made the collective product better, although admittedly that blog app does a lot.

I'd just say put the theme out there, make sure it is very nice, be north of $25, and see how it goes.

Well I'd be interested in a good quality business theme;

must work and be stable with the brilliant C5 system of course...

I see no 1024 width or 3 column themes...

..and as a noob I havent a clue how to make one, so I'd pay say £20-£30 ($32-$48 currently) for a shared theme, that provided;

a left hand nav
3 columns

from nothing more than the plain yogurt standard theme.If you can add some more style/presentation elements even better!

(my other requirements are covered in the marketplace - keep up the good work)

Have you seen my OfficeSpace theme? Think it would be a good fit for you.

Stephanie,

I'd imagine there is a market for quality themes. And I think that c5 tends to draw people who are willing to pay for that quality, so price accordingly.

For example, I noticed your church theme over on Theme Forest, which would be great if it ran on c5. Perhaps you could create a preference to turn off the churchiness to widen your market.

To answer your questions directly:
a) yes, I do have occasions where I would pay for a quality theme
b) if the theme can really replace custom design work (which is what I normally do) I'd probably go up around $50... but you of course would need to add more if it includes the blocks like the area splitter, calendar, etc... not sure how you can re-sell those or if they'd need to be added by the theme purchaser

Wow forgot I even made this thread sorry. =/

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Thanks, glad you liked it. I actually did convert this to c5 and submitted it to the marketplace we'll see if I messed up anything or not.

I think if someone didn't mind the homepage rotation looking like it does they could maybe make it a non church site as is, not sure, since none of the content in the example are in stone. The crosses can be turned off with one line of css code. I probably should display it as a non church however to get that point across. But I hope to do some for retail and business as well.

What I am doing and I think other's have done this as well, is providing templates for add-ons found here in the marketplace and it is up to the purchaser to then get those add-ons if they want them and use the template or not. I put this one at $35 because of the custom templates but maybe thats too low hehe dunno.


Thanks!

Steph
