Site Redesign - It’s For Sale!

After many weeks and a lot of rough spots, my site redesign is finally complete. I am extremely proud, and with a lot of feedback from other great designers out there, I think that it is a great design that will fulfill the purpose of my blog.
After a lot of contemplation, and the advice of many people, I will be selling my premium wordpress theme. I was advised to price it in many different ways, some too high, some too low. I thought a long time about it, and I think I have come up with some pretty reasonable rates that of course, are subject to change.
Here are my current prices:
Single use with a credit link to me: $65
Single use without a credit link to me: $100
Multiple use (No resale): $175
These prices are about average of what everyone recommended to me.
My design is in fact cheaper than most other premium wordpress themes out there. I offer a less expensive version of my theme where the only requirement is to have a link to me in the footer. My multiple use package is generally cheaper than most other premium themes out there.
Why should you buy this theme?
- If you are looking to make money from your blog via ad placement
- If you are looking for a fresh theme in the wordpress marketplace
I truly believe that this is a great wordpress theme that will not only make you unique, but give every buyer a flair of professionalism and creativity.
When you buy this theme, you will get all the files needed to install it, a thorough read me file to help you set everything up, and an organized, clean, easy to read coding structure.
I am hoping for this design to be a success. It has been many hours of work and dedication to produce this, so I hope everyone appreciates this as much as I do.
Even if you don’t plan on buying this theme, at least tell me what you think!
Thanks so much to everyone that has supported this process and I look forward to hearing your comments and hopefully getting some people to buy this!

Very nice design indeed Brian - the color scheme is quite unique and I think overall you can feel very pleased with this design (from what I saw, you really pushed yourself hard in designing this and you can be really proud of the final version).
I also didn’t know you were going to sell the theme!? You could probably sell a few copies and the money will be good - BUT your own design won’t be unique anymore… Have you considered that?
Thanks for the comment Adii - much appreciated.
As I said, it was with much deliberation that I chose to sell this theme. I recognized the fact that by selling my design I wouldn’t be unique any more - I honestly feel that anyone that makes the choice to buy my theme will be a good enough person to at least write a brief post about who designed their wordpress theme and give credit where credit is due.
I simply love the design. The color scheme, RSS links and whitespace are great. Hopefully all the time spent creating the template becomes well worth it.
I just saw the post and I would suggest to check out JohnCow.us about the pricing to be more in line.
Then, you could add the theme to 1 Cool File. All the themes are free so we could figure out a way for you to sale them there. You could zip/rar the theme with a password(very long) to protect them. You can put a picture of the theme for people to see like I did with MIS Info Video(my freeware media player). Anyway, if you need help to add a file, email me.
I think your design is fantastic. Your prices are fair, but I do think it’s a shame that you have to sacrifice the uniqueness of your site in order to profit from your hard work. Of course, a lot of people will probably want to change the colors or whatever. You could always do some other similar themes as well, I suppose, maybe changing the color of the theme or something. I’m thinking you’ll do really well. Good luck.
Thanks a lot Jason - nobody has bought yet. I will still give away my one copy on Jan 15th. If I haven’t sold one by then I’ll take it down and won’t sell it anymore. Not exactly a bad thing though, it just means that my site will be more unique.
Are there any possibilities that you will lower the price for this great looking theme to $40-$50 maybe?
I love it, and I really want to know how to buy it from you.
