Thesis WordPress Theme Discount (It Wouldn't Happen but for Black Friday)

Thesis WordPress Theme

If there’s anything I hate, it’s discounting prices. It’s usually just a bad idea.

And when it comes to Thesis, Chris and I especially don’t believe in discounting prices… we think the price we charge for Thesis is fair considering the product, the support, and the continual innovative updates.

But, this Black Friday thing has become somewhat of an institution in the US. The day after Thanksgiving, everyone seems to discount prices for one day only, even those who usually wouldn’t.

I guess we’ll play along… and you get the benefit.

We’re offering 20% off for 150 people who use a special code starting right now until Friday night at 11.59 pm Eastern time. We don’t want to interfere with people’s real-space shopping, so the discount code is effective right now - for the first 150 people only.

That works out to:

$69.60 for Thesis Personal (regularly $87)

$131.20 for Thesis Developer (regularly $164)

$61.60 for Developer Upgrade (regularly $77)

IMPORTANT! - Your must use this code to get the discount - 20D03977D0 (don’t forget this!).

ALSO IMPORTANT - Again, this coupon code can only be used by 150 people.

If you’ve been thinking of buying Thesis but held off, now’s the time to buy Thesis.

Not Familiar With Thesis?

Earlier this year, Thesis caught on immediately due to its stellar search engine optimization, usability, accessibility and flexibility. Not to mention stunning typography and elegant design… all right out of the box. Oh, and there’s actually support for your use of the theme? Yep, Chris and an entire community of over 2,500 Thesis owners.

What’s continued to improve with each new update (Thesis owners get every new update free) is the flexibility… and this is thanks to two innovative option panels that allow you two customize many elements of your theme without code. Even better, you can change the entire layout, look, and feel from the Design Options panel.

The Thesis Options panel lets you easily tweak a ton of stuff that used to require diving into the code. Things like the way your title tags present, to your feed address, navigation elements, comments, categories, stats code, etc. There’s even an incredible multimedia box where you can display videos, ads, Flash animation… and you can even customize what appears in the box on individual posts or pages. Think about that for a minute–you can serve targeted ads and multimedia content based on the content of that page.

But the Design Options panel is even more powerful–it allows you to customize fonts and font sizes all across the theme. Best of all, no reinventing of the wheel is required—the resulting typography is expertly constructed no matter what font/size combination you choose.

And it gets better… the Layout constructor in the "Design Options" panel allows you to select a 1, 2, or 3 column layout AND to specify the width of your content column. When used in conjunction with the font selector, the layout constructor yields a nearly endless set of design possibilities. Now, your Thesis doesn't have to look like anyone else’s, and you don't have to code anything to make it happen.

Thesis 1.4 Coming Shortly

The thing that people are beginning to understand is that Thesis is not just a theme, it’s a WordPress code framework. For a search optimized theme, code should be separate from design. But it’s often not, which is why free WordPress themes are full of bloated code that harms search optimization, accessibility, and usability. And you can forget flexibility completely.

Chris has already updated the theme with “hooks” that allow Thesis to support any design with the same code framework. For a striking example of that, click though and look at Copyblogger. Yep, it’s built on Thesis, and looks not a bit like the original thing.

What’s happened is that theme designers are starting to provide custom looks for Thesis owners, at a fraction of the cost and time. The coding work is already done and optimized, which allows designers to do what they do best–create a stunning presentation for your website or blog.

When Thesis 1.4 arrives, the initial vision for Thesis will be in place. A WordPress-powered site that can look like a “blog” or it can have a “magazine-style” front page that fronts any website. And Chris is working hard to give you custom landing page options that will make you a marketing machine, while making the old-style “blog” look silly.

But I’ll talk more about that later. You’ll get all the good stuff that’s coming by buying now, and you’ll save 20%. But move fast, people have been tweeting and posting about this special all evening.

Buy Thesis today.
