A 3-column template system with spectacular typography and customizable, rotating images

Curious about the Thesis Theme license structure? You’re not alone, as I’ve been asked about the license more frequently than anything else since I opened up shop. Now that I’ve had this gig for a while, I understand a little more about what’s going on, and I’ve finally implemented a solid, two-tiered license structure that will suit everyone’s needs.

Personal License

The personal license entitles the buyer to use the theme on one site and also on a localized development server. In addition, the link back to DIYthemes in the footer should remain intact, at least in terms of keywords.

Oh, and naturally, the buyer cannot re-sell the theme or any modification thereof (this includes custom stylesheets) under any circumstances.

If you run a single Website and are interested in Thesis, then this is the license for you. However, if you’re interested in using Thesis on multiple sites (including subdomains), then you ought to take a look at the developer’s package below.

Developer’s License

The developer’s license entitles the buyer to unlimited use of the theme on any number of sites, including subdomains. As with the personal license, the link back to DIYthemes in the footer should remain intact, at least in terms of keywords.

Once again, the buyer may not re-sell the theme or any modification thereof.

At a price point that is less than the cost of just two personal licenses, the developer’s license is seriously one of the best deals of all time for developers, designers, and savvy code tweakers alike.

Which License Should I Buy, and How Do I Buy It?

I already own Thesis, but I’m interested in getting a developer’s license.

Thanks to everyone whose feedback helped me put this together!

You Thesis users are a savvy bunch. You get recognized for creative design wizardry; you rock your sites in style; and more than anything, you’re flat-out smart.

Thanks to you guys, I’m happy to announce the new Thesis Forum—a place where we can get together and geek out over drop caps, color schemes, and how you got that Twitter thing in your sidebar.

I’ll see you there

Version 0.3 of the theme is now available for download, and I highly recommend upgrading because nearly every template file has been improved for this release. Don’t fret, though—version 0.3 is much, much smarter than its predecessors, and I’ve made lots of changes that will allow me to provide you with better support, design help, and custom mods in the future.

Although most of the improvements are behind the scenes, there are two major changes that I am excited to share with you.

First, you now have the option to choose between a dynamically generated navigation menu and one that is manually controlled (how it worked in previous releases). The dynamic nav menu is simply a list of your WordPress pages, so if you only use pages in a limited capacity, this option will be perfect for you!

Second, you can now show a video in place of the rotating images if you prefer. As savvy user Ken pointed out, it’s all about multi-media, and now Thesis has you covered in that department as well.

For a more comprehensive and geeky list of the changes to version 0.3, as well as some key upgrade tips, make the jump! [click to continue...]

To show my appreciation for you early adopters, I’m offering Thesis at a pre-launch sale price of $67. This price will hold until I have completed the core documentation and finalized the support infrastructure. Please keep in mind that once this initial offer expires, the price will never be lower.
