The business originally established in early 2016 and later acquired in late 2019, specializes in developing premium WordPress themes through an enhanced free theme building system. These premium themes, initially costing $1,500 to develop, are known as OverStrap. The original developer is still actively involved in WordPress theme development and remains available for future work. The business boasts a responsive email list of 50,000 members, with about 25% comprising agencies. Sales from these premium themes are profitable, and there exists an opportunity for the new owner to expand the offerings, as the customer base continually seeks the latest and fastest themes. Additionally, an in-house developed speed-optimizing WordPress plugin has been beneficial in increasing both sales and the average order value. Upgrading the current system to Bootstrap 5 presents a substantial opportunity as demand for it grows. Revenue is generated by selling these premium themes and plugins to both new organic visitors and existing email subscribers, with the purchasing and order fulfillment process managed by GumRoad, requiring minimal support. The business is being sold to focus on other projects, having maximized its potential under the current ownership. It would be ideal for a WordPress theme or plugin developer, given its strong connections to high-profile websites. Assets include domains, website files, source code, content, and e-commerce platform accounts, supported by a substantial mailing list of 50,000 addresses. Post-sale support is also included for the buyer.
