Need a little advice from all you long term users out there!

Hi guys,

I’ve created a website in PSD form at the moment, the next stage would be to code it in static XHTML /CSS and a final step would be to turn it into a wordpress theme.

My question is, how is it best to make this available on the marketplaces? Should i prepare the PSD files and make them available on Graphic River, then in a couple of months once the coding stage is complete release the same design on theme forest (including the original PSD earlier released on Graphic River) then finally release a third time but this time the wordpress theme?

Or should i simply wait until the final wordpress theme is done and release just that?

I’ve seen a few people doing both of the above – what do you guys advice? Whats best in terms of Envato policy? Whats best in terms of sales?

Thanks so much!!!

Some authors create PSD , HTML and Wordpress variations of their designs. It’s personal preference I guess. I would recommend submitting the PSD first to see if the reviewers think your design is good enough for the marketplace, then start on a HTML version, then eventually a Wordpress theme.

PSD files are uploaded to ThemeForest not GraphicRiver by the way

I´d say you submit the html/css version first, and put a note in the description that a WP theme will be available soon. Might give you more sales, plus that not everyone want´s a WP theme. So you´ll reach more customers and gives alot of customers something to look forward to.

Just a side note though, ThemeForest handles the PSD Templates as well. GraphicRiver only tends to the elements, like buttons, menus and such. You get the idea

Good luck with your theme

Ahh ok.. was just concerned it might be giving people a poor deal – i might be a little annoyed if i paid $20 for a PSD then a month later the same thing was available for $30 with all the coding completed… if you catch my drift.

Themeforest – Gotcha

I wouldn’t do it this way. PSD ´s don’t sell very good here. I would first code it to xHTML and upload it here and if the design selss well then I would code it to wordpress. but before you create the xHTML I would highly recommend you to ask other people about it what they think.

A PSD theme for $20 are very rare, not available from my knowledge. And a html/css template usually goes for $10-$20 depending on how big the site is. A Wordpress theme goes for around $20-$40, depending on features and how big it is.

(with big I mean, features, sliders and alot of custom stuff)

Good luck again

That’s useful to know.. i’m guessing theres a dedicated place in the forums for critiques? I’ll have a browse and submit some of the designs for people to take a look at Thanks.
