...As Xtrato and I discussed, does it make more sense to sell a theme for $200 to 5
people or 25 themes at between $50-$100 dollars. More people means more
exposure for both theme and cms, and better chances of positive reinforcement.
Basically the current shop will still be here offering what is already in it but you will
begin to see more themes developed specifically for TinyPortal where Nuke
conversions or customization will be as a per customer issue and considered a
custom design thing. But also there will be an additional shop tied directly to the new
site as part of the cms that will offer full demo of both free and commercial themes.
We are currently still laying out the site and customizing things but I talked him into
letting everyone in now to be able to share your ideas and learn about the new
system. Staff will be able to add both free and commercial themes to the shop but
the commercial themes will have to be okay'd at the admin level (This is mainly to
keep the commercial standards high). Other designers are welcome to offer free
themes and if the staff considers the work exceptable added to the download section.
Staff with commercial themes in the tp shop will get full credit and payment for each
theme sold less a small commission for support of site server(I'm still setting up the
code for this plus a pm to author on each sale). We are excepting staff applications
at this time for the following:
Coders and Designers for the following: PHP-Nuke, Zentri-Enhanced , PHPBB,
VBulletin, & Seditio CMS coders if possible. Please present a portfolio if possible as
well as Staff Experience References if possible. Thankyou in Advance for your
support. Age minimum 16 years of age, maturity required ;).
