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.

Reorganizing Theme Support
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.
Retirement of older themes
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.
First theme released on WordPress.com
I’m very proud to announce that we have launched our first theme on WordPress.com last Thursday.
Changes in Business Model and Pricing Structure
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.
Happy holidays
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.
