What are you looking for in a commercial c5 theme? Your feedback matters!
Permalink
Hi Everyone,
Me and a group of designers/coders are doing some in depth research in order to build one of the best c5 themes that will be available on the c5 marketplace!
What we want to ask is for you beginners and experts to give us a hand in developing a awesome c5 theme that everyone will want!
So...
The question for you is what kind of c5 theme are you looking for. (i.e. corporate, personal blog, sleek ecommerce, etc.)
For this theme are you looking for built in/bundled addons or addons that must be additional purchased? (i.e. a custom rotating banner or purchasing tony's awesome banner addon)
Finally the price...
What do you think is a fair price?
If your buying it commercially would you pay the min $15/license or something a bit higher? (give us your honest opinion, we're thinking setting it to the min price point so all the c5 users can purchase the theme without breaking the bank).
Well leave your comments below!
Hopefully everyone will join in! Best of all this will help our team out and give c5 a high quality theme for a reasonable cost!
We hope to start working on this theme and publish it to the marketplace Mid-April!
Looking forward for everyone's opinion!
Cheers,
Thomas
(P.S. you can always send me a link via PM or post one below of your fav theme from themeforest or any other template source out there!)

I would like to see a e-commerce template with a "mega" drop down menu. (http://www.sohtanaka.com/web-design/examples/mega-dropdowns/)
A great addition for a great CMS

Hi!
Sorry, I didn't have time to give you some links as exemples, but I wrote some of my thoughts of what I think it would be a good common Theme, what elements that needed to be there. So here it is:
Things I would like to see as common base for a Theme:
- a grid-based theme and uses the 960 grid system (http://960.gs/) or Tableless grid-based layout;
- non-obstructive if it's used in other languages (Japanese, French, Hebrew, Spanish, Arab...)
- included a choice of 2 and 3 columns type;
- included Page Types: Home, right sidebar, left sidebar, Full width, View
- included Default, Error/Login, profile/member Page that can be in any kind of Page Types;
- a little bit out of the square type Theme; it's fun to have unusual or rounded form;
- a choice of colors (blue, green, red...);
- sometimes, a little bit of transparency or/and glassy background effect in the Theme;
- the possibility to choose between many prices for the same Theme; exemple: one that include all the blocks Packages used, another that doesn't include it, but in both case they include the custom views (ex.: Simple Cast, Newsletters, Calendar, Testimony, Staff Directory by Remo...);
- all the design is already made and included; I don't like when you have to try to figure out how they did it and reproduce it; must have an exemple of each kind of page include in the Theme, so it's fast and easy to build the website;
- areas for: logo and his slogan, header, navbar, TopPage left/right (for login/logout, search, A- A+, languages...), footer with 2-3 areas, copyright;
- all psd or png images included
- must works correctly with the Blog Package (need the Page Type: view) and the Simple Blog Package;
- Support browsers: Internet Explorer 7 and +, Firefox 2 and +, Google Chrome 3+, Opera 10+, Safari 3+
- Text Styles Available in Rich Text Editor;
- Supports customizable styles
For this Kind of Theme, I would be glad to pay between 100-200$. For a very clean, modern and professional Theme, that's a good price for me.
Thanks.

Wow!
Its awesome to see how the c5 community comes together!
I love your ideas. Its a real insite when someone provides all the deatils that I need to produce an awesome theme.
My personal goal is to give back to the community so we are thinking to lower the price in order to help everyone.
It will be more work but the core developers did so much for us.
Lets keep hearing those ideas!
Cheers,
Thomas
