Open Source WP Themes

Brian Gardner has been my favorite WordPress Theme developer for a while now.  His themes in conjunction with Jason Schuller plugins are by far the new standard in my opinion. 

I typically use Brian’s themes as a starter shell for my projects and usually hack the CSS and images to make the finished product look however I want.  I have to admit that working with Brian’s themes has helped me become a lot more familiar with CSS also, which was something I was needing to do to break some of my old school habits.

A few months ago I purchased Brian’s complete theme package for Developers, this was an awesome investment and I think we have already seen a pretty good return on our investment from that purchase but what Brian did next kind of threw me a curveball, but I think I understand it now.  Basically Brian has retired the themes that I purchased from him, they are no longer available to the general public, but I have them, which is good.  By retiring the Revolution One themes, he has launched Revolution Two, in conjunction with some other WordPress Developers and they have made their themes open source.  That’s right, open source as in free.

These themes on the Revolution Two site are all free for download but if you want support for these themes you can purchase packages from the team to support you in your projects.  Which if you think about it is an awesome idea.  I haven’t been very active in the Revolution theme community very long but I plan on spending a lot more time in there in the very near future.  The few times I have posted questions regarding support issues on the Featured content plugin I have gotten an almost immediate response back.  If you haven’t already you can go to: www.revolutiontheme.com and be redirected to the new website w/ the new themes.
