Skinpress Overview

The demand for WordPress themes has risen over the last few years. Many new studios have joined the industry in an attempt to respond to the needs of customers. Skinpress is one of the fast developing providers of WordPress themes. They have a wide selection of products and the number of their clients is constantly growing.

Theme Functionality

The Skinpress themes have all the standard widgets you can expect. The three-column layout makes the web pages convenient to use. The main focus of the themes is the interaction between the website users. All themes come with “popular posts” and “related posts” sections. Most of them have Twitter support and come with photo or video carousels.

Basically, their themes’ functionality is quite standard and they lack the wide variety of features found in other themes developed by the more popular providers such as Woothemes and Press75.

Theme Graphics

The WordPress themes from Skinpress have impressive and eye-catching header images. Still, they can be more artistic and colorful, like the headers of Templatelite and Elegantthemes, for instance. The colors of the themes are vivid. The main color can be blue, green, orange or pink. The fresh shades are soft which makes the contrast elegant and enjoyable.

The fonts are standard and have black color, so the readability of the Skinpress themes is very good. All elements on the pages are functionally arranged, but the pages seem a little bit too long and crowded.

Theme Pricing– base on July 2010 data

The premium WordPress themes from Skinpress cost $35 each. The price is reasonable for the quality offered and is cheaper than the products by Press75, for instance. If you want simpler layout which most of the bloggers would prefer, their free themes is the best option to go.

Theme Support

Skinpress do not offer a very good customer support service. There is not forum support. You can choose to send them emails or use the contact form on their official website to ask any questions. Still, there are complaints that the Skinpress staff is not replying to queries. Given all this, it can be safely said that these providers have very poor theme support. This is certainly a huge disadvantage, especially given the price they ask for a premium WordPress theme.

Overall, the WordPress themes from Skinpress are functional, attractive and moderately priced. Still, the poor customer support is a major drawback.
