The Thesis Theme from Chris Pearson and DIYthemes Why use Thesis Wordpress theme?

For a long while I’ve heard of the famous Thesis theme developed by Chris Pearson. Then for equally long I was considering getting it after reading the many raving reviews about what it can do and why Thesis is like no other Wordpress themes out there, all free and premium Wordpress themes combined.

A little bit of background information about the Thesis theme…it is THE MOST customisable Wordpress theme you can ever find! It doesn’t require any in depth knowledge of HTML for you to tweak and customise the theme to suit your style. It can really be anything and everything you want. You can choose it to be as simple or beautifully decorated with graphics and colours as you wish. And did I mention you do this with just clicking on buttons?! Well for the more advanced tweaks, you will need to learn how to use some hooks to instruct your site to behave in certain manners, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty limitless what you can do.

So in March this year I finally hopped onto the bandwagon and went ahead to buy my first ever premium theme. Since I own a few blogs, there was no point in getting a single license so I bought a developer’s license which gives me limitless use of the theme on as many domains as I want.

Since then I’ve slowly converted some of my blogs onto the Thesis Wordpress theme platform and have no regrets. I do have more sites to convert but am taking my time as I would like to concentrate on the more critical ones first.

So what made me part with some $160+ for a Thesis Wordpress theme? Well, you can read the many reviews and even read about it on DIYThemes site. I won’t repeat after everyone the benefits of Thesis. But I will share with you why I am totally happy with it.

After all those fantastic reviews, how did I find the Thesis theme and is it really as good as it is said to be? Well let’s just say I’m a satisfied customer although there were some teething issues with it. But nothing that I can’t get some help with in the active support forum at DIYThemes site.

So what was it that made me a satisfied user of Thesis? I would have to say that after 3 months of using the theme, I find that my traffic has improved. As a way to track this, I deliberately used the theme on some sites and left some alone. When I saw the results of improved organic traffic, I was convinced that the theme was working for me. And that is why I am now converting this site’s layout to use Thesis too since my little experiment to test Thesis has proven to be satisfactory.

I can’t really attribute this directly, but I feel that it may have also helped in my Adsense earnings. Due to higher traffic, I guess the chances of clickthroughs for Adsense also increase with it. Further, there were some help with some customised Adsense hooks that I could easily pluck into my site and that was supposed to help.

So other than it being customisable, I am very satisfied that the money I spent on buying Thesis was really some worthy investment. I’ve already made it all back with my ad earnings. The only regret I have is that I didn’t get it sooner! Nevertheless it is never too late. So if anyone out there is mulling over whether it will be worth it, I will vouch for it and tell you to go for it :)

Go and check out Thesis for yourself. Seeing is believing. And there is a reason why so many people are advocates of Thesis. Click here to check out Thesis.
