We’re only a couple of weeks into the New Year but already have some pretty cool new premium WordPress themes. Going on what’s been released already this year, 2013 promises to be amazing for both the quantity of new premium themes and the quality of those themes.
The number of theme companies continues to increase and the premium WordPress theme market get more saturated and competitive each month. So it will be interesting to see the direction established companies take and what type of themes they create, and also what the new players come up with to break into the market and become sustainable.
I believe we are likely to see increasingly niche, ‘specific purpose’ WordPress themes with custom features and functionality, such as the Voyage theme below. Last year we saw many companies starting to release WordPress themes with responsive layouts. With the rapid growth of mobile use forcing many web developers to consider how they will cater to mobile users we can also expect to see many more responsive WordPress themes. Will 2013 be the year of responsive design and will responsive layouts become standard in WordPress themes? While responsive designs are great, they may not always the best option for certain types of websites so it will be interesting to see the different solutions people come up with for mobile viewers.
Whatever happens in the Premium WordPress theme market this year you can sure we will be showcasing all the best premium WordPress themes right here on PremiumWP. So keep checking back or subscribe to one of our feeds to stay updated.
