Hi, David. A friend of mine who makes a lot of Wordpress sites for local clients tells me that he buys a lot of themes and other design materials from http://themeforest.net/ and friends (http://envato.com/). It's sometimes more cost effective for him to spend the $15 on a license for template theme than to work from scratch. So he's the sort customers you may want to get to know. In this specific market, the more comprehensive the theme, e.g. providing an admin skin, useful widget areas, etc., the higher the price the developer can charge, although I can see that reputation plays a part as well.
I imagine there are more markets out there. I hope that's a useful starting place for you. - Chris On Sun, Jul 8, 2012 at 4:44 PM, david battaglia <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey guys,I was thinking about getting into the worpress themeing > bussiness.
