Breaking News: News CMS Theme by Mod Themes

CMS Themes — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:55:10 +0000

We were recently made aware of a new theme store from the designer of the Omni Theme. This new premium theme store is called Mod Themes, and they already have a pretty decent news CMS theme available for purchase.

Going forward, I would expect several other nice offerings from Mod Themes, as they have also brought in popular WordPress coder Nathan Rice in to work on their theme coding, among others.

The initial news theme release, Breaking News, is a nice design and proves that the website shows a lot of promise. Here is the information we’ve collected on this new premium news theme:

Newsline: New News CMS Theme by Style WordPress

CMS Themes — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:57:47 +0000

News-style CMS themes used to be all the rage, but lately their popularity has dipped in favor of magazine themes. That said, we still occasionally see a nice news theme being announced. One of these occasions is the Newsline theme by Style WordPress!

I’ve always enjoy the CMS designs provided by the Style WordPress team, and their latest doesn’t disappoint! The best part though is the price. For roughly half what you typically pay for a single-use license, you get a multiple-use license with your theme purchase.

Here is the information the Style WordPress team released with their Newsline theme announcement:
