Overkill on wp-themes
Recently I had a lengthy discussion with a wp-theme designer
What I have been noticing that the overkill on wp-themes is ever increasing, nowadays you see 40-50 new ones every day.
Some are of exceptional quality and some are so very standard.
It looks to me, that in fact the wp-themes makers are killing their own
market, and its becoming a vicious circle.
Too many themes up for auction, less links are being sold, less income for
the makers.
The makers think links are not selling very good, lets make more and more
themes and lets make the links even cheaper so that we at least get
something from them and thus producing only quantity and not so much
quality anymore.
What I am wondering about is, as a buyer of links, what would you do:
Buy 3 cheap links on a not so good design, which mostlikly will not got
much downloads and thus your money is maybe wasted.
Or buy one expensive link for the same prize as the 3 cheap ones(or even
more expensive) on a top-quality design, which mostlikly receive much more
downloads?
I sometimes really think that some designers really dont care about what
they design anymore, but just think of a quick few bucks, and with that
kill the market for the quality-designs, but when it comes down to it, I
think all the designers will suffer from it.
