Well, after an abortive mission with RBS WorldPay (who we’ll get back to in due course) we decided to celebrate being listed by WordPress.org on their premium providers list by re-opening the site to new members.

We’ve done this along with some simple changes to licensing:

1. As I’m sure you appreciate, we’re now a GPL only site - all themes are available under the GPL with no restrictions applied.
2. Membership will entitle you to things such as original source material - for example, the Word Documents for the WordPress User Guides we’ve produced.
3. There’s just one price, and this gives access to the forums for £25+VAT per year.
4. We give no guaranteed support in our forums - if you need SLA’d support you have to head on over to Interconnect IT and ask them about support contracts.
5. But we’ll be there - ready to answer questions where possible.

The idea of memberships is that it’s a way to support our development of future themes.  They take a lot of time, and cost a surprising amount of money to develop.  Whilst goodwill is wonderfully, it doesn’t pay for food on our tables.  Consequently we encourage you to a: join the forum and take part and b: if you love our themes you should give us good reviews and ratings, and mention us where you can.

We’re a community now.  Welcome!
