RichWP Launches Series of CMS WordPress Themes

CMS Themes — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:58:06 +0000

In case the premium themes market was crowded enough, it looks like another WordPress designer has decided to release a few new CMS themes.

We’ve always felt their is plenty of room for competition, because competition drives innovation, but in the case of Rich WordPress, we would be lying if we said we were impressed. There are certainly a few decent CMS designs, but they don’t compare to many of the offerings available via Woo Themes, StudioPress, or even iThemes (at similar prices). In fact, many of these themes should be offered for free in our opinion.

Because everyone is entitled to form their own opinions, here are a few of the Rich WordPress variations currently available as of their launch (additional themes are promised in the future):
