For as long as I’ve been making WordPress themes, buying one meant going through ThemeForest. That changes today. All five themes — Alchemists, Necromancers, Escapium, Voelas and FNT — are now sold directly on this site.
The themes aren’t leaving ThemeForest, and if you’d rather keep buying there, that still works. But direct is the better deal now, and here’s the honest version of why.
What buying direct gets you
- A lower price: $59/year, or $179 once for a lifetime license. Voelas is $49 and $149.
- A license key that unlocks the bundled premium plugins, one-click demo import and automatic updates.
- Renewals at 40% off, and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Same themes, same code, same support. What changes is everything around them: no marketplace layer between you and me.
Already own a theme from ThemeForest?
Your purchase code converts into a free license key. Head to the migration page, paste the code, and you’re done — you get the same automatic updates and plugin installs direct buyers get, running to the end of your ThemeForest support period with a few months of grace on top.
Why sell direct at all?
Marketplaces are good at reach and bad at everything else. Fees aside, a marketplace sits between me and the people actually using my work. Selling direct means I can price fairly, keep the license simple enough to fit on one page, and ship updates the moment they’re ready instead of queueing for review.
If anything breaks, or you’re not sure whether migrating makes sense for your setup, open a ticket — same support desk as always. And if you’ve been running one of my themes for years: thank you. This site exists because of you.
