We have to admit that the update process of our PRO themes was not very perfect and we want to simplify it. So far you could manually check for available updates on our Changelog page. Furthermore we have announced critical updates on Twitter, Facebook or via Blog.
However, it was not a really good and thought-out process to notify you about theme updates and it is time to change that.
We wanted to give you a quick note that ThemeZee will be on company holiday from 10 to 17 September. That means it will be a little bit quiet here and answering theme support mails will take longer than usual.
We will use the break to recover and recharge our batteries for the final quarter of 2014. We have several new themes, 2 plugins, a german website and an affiliate program in our pipeline and therefore some exciting months ahead of us.
Thanks for your understanding.
Last week we have launched a small facelift of our website and changed a bunch of details on ThemeZee.com. The biggest change is the new showcase, which will show live examples of our themes and first-hand experiences from real customers. Although most modifications are only minor we want to share the exciting news with you.
I am very happy to announce the release of our next magazine WordPress theme named Rubine. We have worked really hard to make Rubine as easy as possible and I think we have made a good job. The theme setup should take no more than 5 minutes and you can start to write your content immediately. Read full article »
Dynamic News is our first theme on WordPress.com and is quite popular so far. The theme is an advanced version of zeeDynamic with a focus on usability and an easy setup.

We’re very excited to announce the release of our newest WordPress theme called Smartline. It is a perfect theme for news and magazine websites as well as simple blogs. Smartline is a responsive theme with strong colors and looks great on any device.
We have developed our support systems step-by-step since we have released our first premium themes and paid theme club. We added a documentation section, video tutorials and support forum and have written a lot of tutorials as we went along. The result was that our support center has become a little bit messy over time.
Today I am announcing the retirement of all our older, static-width themes which were mostly created back in 2011. Since then a lot of things have changed in web and WordPress theme development. Websites are visited more and more on mobile devices rather than desktop computers, which has led to Responsive Webdesign and mobile-ready themes.
I’m very proud to announce that we have launched our first theme on WordPress.com last Thursday.
After the launch of the theme club back in September 2012 and offering PRO themes and top-notch theme support ThemeZee has gained over 2.000 paying theme club members so far. Although the theme club model has worked quite well and ThemeZee has become a healthy business, there were several downsides of the existing subscription model.
Another year has nearly passed and it was a quite successful one for ThemeZee. After improving the support process at the beginning of the year I spent really much time on learning everything about responsive webdesign. The result were the release of eight new ThemeZee WordPress themes with responsive layout in 2013. Finally ThemeZee.com also got a mobile ready design.
