The described platform offers a unique WordPress theme marketplace, involving a community of blog designers and bloggers. Weekly design contests, known as "Weekly Wars", allow blog designers to submit original themes, based on community-voted categories, to compete for a place in the platform's theme store. The top two selected designs are sold, providing winning designers with a percentage of sales and opportunities for future collaboration. This system not only offers financial benefits to designers, but also increases their visibility through inclusion in a "Featured Designers" page.
The platform is currently being sold due to the owners' shift to larger projects after 2.5 successful years in the WordPress theme market. For users, particularly bloggers, the platform offers varied themes crafted by diverse designers and encourages community engagement through feedback and voting.
Themes are licensed under the WordPress GPL, allowing unrestricted use and inclusion in the official WordPress directory. The sale includes valuable assets like a customized member management system, affiliate software, a themed support forum, video tutorials, exclusive WordPress themes, high-quality domain names, and substantial web traffic from reputable sources. The revenue data shows consistent earnings, and significant online traffic from direct, referral, and potential search engine sources is noted.
Buyers will receive additional guidance on theme development and site management. Despite the site's current value, ongoing time commitments necessitate its sale, presenting potential buyers with considerable value and growth opportunities in the WordPress theme market.
