MyThemeShop Review

Detailed Reviews

MyThemeShop provides a wide variety of themes and plugins. So whether you are a casual blogger, an online magazine, or an ecommerce shop, there are over 80 themes to choose from. There are also plenty of free theme options on offer, and with a low starting price of $35 per theme, MyThemeShop is a good choice for blogs and websites. As per website’s claim, over 180,000 users are using their themes at the time of writing this review.

Well Organized Themes

MyThemeShop has a large collection of themes that are organized according to the user’s preferences. There are themes that are built specifically for bloggers, while there are others that are well suited to magazines and WooCommerce framework based websites. A blog, for instance, requires the content to be emphasized to maximize engagement with its readers as well as boost traffic from top social media websites. Their Schema theme not only directs readers to the actual blog posts in chronological order, but it is also fast loading and helps to rank the site higher in search engine results. The Frontpage theme, on the other hand, is a fully responsive theme that comes with multiple homepage and single-post layouts, ideal for magazine and WooCommerce applications.  

Speed and Social Media Integration

In the age of high-speed mobile computing, a blog or website must be accessible on any type of mobile device. All of the themes provided by MyThemeShop are mobile ready and ensure fast loading of webpages. They are also SEO friendly, which means that your web pages will rank higher in searches on the go. To extend the reach of your website, the themes help increase social shares and bring in more viral traffic.

Theme Appearance

Many of the themes provided by MyThemeShop appear to have a similar look and feel about them. Some of the themes are also common between user categories. For instance, the Splash, Sensational and Chronology themes are all equally applicable to both blog and ecommerce applications. The styling and layout options can however be changed up to suit individual requirements, and the site does allow users to implement CSS customization.

Plans and Options

MyThemeShop provides a reasonable amount of flexibility when it comes to choosing themes. Individual themes can be purchased for as little as $35, but there are a number of themes that are available at no cost at all. The Membership option provides access to as many as 64 themes along with free theme updates and 24/7 support. A third plan, called the Developer plan, provides access to all plugins and also supports layered PSD files. The themes under this plan can be used for an unlimited number of clients. Priority issue fixes are also available, though they are limited to 10 per client. Both the Membership and Developer plans do, however, seek $9 per month in recurring charges.  

Customer Support

Technical support for MyThemeShop users is provided in the form of fairly detailed video tutorials and an active support forum. Premium users are offered robust forum support for their themes and plugins. They are also provided with personal support from the experts at MyThemeShop. Forum support is also available for users of free themes and plugins.

Conclusion

If you’re on the lookout for a basic, well-supported theme for your WordPress powered website or blog, MyThemeShop has a variety of options available for you. Quick page loads and SEO friendly themes ensure that your website is easily accessible to mobile and desktop users. The site does not provide a free trial access to any of its paid themes, but there are a number of free themes available to give you a good idea of what to expect. Moreover, with the Holiday season around the corner, for a limited period, MyThemeShop is providing any theme or plugin at just $9.
