San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 28, 2010

Amateur and professional website builders around the world acknowledge that one of the biggest benefits of using the WordPress platform for creating websites is that it is very flexible – it is possible to change the look of your WordPress site, its ‘theme’, at the click of a mouse, using freely available off-the-shelf solutions.

Knowing how to create WordPress themes has become very much an in-demand skill to possess. So the release by Sitepoint of a new book ‘Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes’ is being so warmly received.

That WordPress theme designers can earn between $ 10k and $ 25k per month may go some way to explaining the book’s success.

The Need To Be Different

Websites owners know that every day there is more competition in getting the attention of their targets – people, businesses, and of course, the search engines.

By recruiting WordPress designers with the skills to create unique and excitingly different websites, they now reap the rewards of increased traffic. They are demanding up-to-the-minute search engine optimization (SEO) features, with the inclusion of graphics and images that relate specifically to their website.

The authors of ‘Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes’ know this. They have combined their areas of specialty, to create a book that expertly explains the anatomy of WordPress, and its essential theme components, before progressing from theory to the practical aspects of hands-on design.

The Business of WordPress Themes

Those who specialize in the construction of well-designed, professional WordPress themes are fast becoming the website design ‘elite’, and many are able to command high prices that recognize the quality of their work.

It is a very lucrative business model, and understanding the issues of licensing, providing ongoing support, offering multiple color schemes and embracing changing technologies, is vital to your success.

SitePoint is delighted that ‘Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes’ includes realistic and credible information about making money from the creation of your themes, saying readers will “…. learn how to maximize profits by effectively marketing and selling your themes on the Web’s biggest marketplaces”.

We’ve essentially created a new home for all of these themes and have provided an easy-to-use way of browsing through them. »

Along with easy navigation, DinoThemes.com sports a rating system (via a 5-star rating and download number), which allows users to know how popular any given theme is.

Super WordPress Plugins

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 2, 2010

Announcing the launch of SuperWordpressPlugins.com, a website dedicated to producing high quality WordPress plugins. This website officially opens to the public on August 2nd, 2010. Super WordPress Plugins was founded by a diverse team of programmers and IT professionals who needed somewhere to showcase their advanced WordPress plugin collection. They also needed somewhere to get feedback from users on what new plugins to develop and what to fix or change in other plugins. Here’s a little bit of background about the current team.

Onirudda Odikare, Software Programmer

Onirudda is involved developing websites and web applications using XHTML, CSS (Blueprint), PHP (Drupal, CakePHP, WordPress), JS (JQuery), and MySQL. He is the lead programmer for SuperWordpressPlugins.com.

MD. Afsar Uddin, Software Engineer

Over the last 4 years, Afsar has developed a wide range of applications using various technologies based on C/C++, Java and PHP. He is acting as technical supervisor and providing quality control assistance.

Jeremy Biberdorf, Blog Management

Jeremy has previous web programming experience such as ASP, PHP and JavaScript, but currently focuses more on website management and marketing. He will be taking care of the blog and plugin marketing.

There are also plans to expand the team with more web programmers very soon. Extensive WordPress & PHP programming skills are required. Interested applicants can apply via the website contact form. Please provide examples of programming work you have done. Only very qualified applicants would be considered.

The first WordPress plugin that the team produced is called Super Blogroll. This plugin is based off the built-in WordPress blogroll widget which displays a list of links, usually to external websites. The built-in blogroll does not offer much customization in the way of appearance and search engine optimization. The Super Blogroll allows you to customize how each link looks and behaves. It takes the blogroll to a new level.

Next, Super WordPress Plugins created an advanced version of the Refer-A-Friend plugin. This plugin gives visitors a quick and easy way to send a blog’s page to someone they know. The Super Refer-A-Friend plugin allows you to edit the default e-mail message and easily modify the plugin to accept multiple friends’ e-mail addresses. To prevent spam there is an option to limit the number of e-mails that can be sent and you can limit the message length.

More plugins are in development and should be released shortly. Super WordPress Plugins will continue to improve your WordPress experience, one plugin at a time. If you have an idea for a WordPress plugin or you just have a suggestion to improve a current plugin, send them an e-mail. They will be happy to hear from you and consider your suggestions in a future plugin. Feel free to download and install any Super WordPress Plugins. Check back soon for more new plugins and updates to existing ones. Let them know any way they can improve their plugins and your overall WordPress experience.

In addition to providing top notch WordPress plugins, the blog will feature relevant news related to WordPress and advice on blog management. This will include tips on how to optimize your blog and attract more readers.
