Today on UV Design, tips and tricks. We talk about themes in Word Press. All right, so continuing our Word Press tutorial. We created a child them in our last one, but we should have probably started with picking a theme to make a child theme for. But hey, we do things backwards here because I can. So anyways, there's thousands and thousands of themes you can choose from, endless searches.

Plenty of different websites and creators throughout the world that create themes. You have themeforest.net is basically a store for themes plugins, just not even Word Press. A bunch of other stuff they have. Video section, audio section, graphics, stuff that's already laid out. You can type out anything you want. Comic book theme, Word Press. I don't know why I chose comic book, but hey, I did. And so anyways, you get a lot of stuff that's magazines, book styles, things that are related to comic books. Maybe that's what you want your website to talk about. So there's plenty of stuff here. It's a great resource to get a lot of different stuff.

Now, I used this for two-and-a-half years or so, maybe a little bit more, a little bit less, it doesn't really matter. But what you do is, you just pay for. You go to Theme Forest, you pay for this company's theme and there's a price. This price can be, I've seen $20, I've seen a couple $100. It all depends on what the theme person, not theme person, jeez. The theme developer wants to charge and then of course, and then Theme Forest keeps their portion of it and stuff.

Here's the downfall, is this money they use is for support, so you can get updates, which is great, I understand. You're trying to support the developers and stuff, but most of the time, this is only good for six months. You can extend it for 12 months for another price, but if you don't, in six months, you've got to renew for somewhere between this price and this price. Again, these are all varied depending on the theme and what's included and stuff like that.

So you know, at first you're like, oh, that's fine. If you're a one-person website. One-person website. If you're creating one website for yourself, not that bad. But once you start developing websites for other people, you know, maybe you have some friends that want to, this money starts adding up really quickly. I mean, I was probably spending $5, $600 a year. Theme Forest doesn't seem like a lot, but this just starts adding up, especially when, okay, that was for like, 10 clients. What happens when I get to 20? What happens when I get to 50?

So that's why I was just thinking at the time. I still didn't find an alternate solution or anything like that, so I'm still doing it. Plus, each theme was different. I kind of had to learn the ins and outs of every theme. I was trying to find one theme that I could base everything off of for every client. Now once in a while, I have to choose a different theme because that client's website needs to be very particular and stuff, but for the most part, I'm pretty good at keeping using the one theme I am using normally.

Sorry for that delay. But anyways, there's other great things about these themes. They're packaged with other plugins and stuff like Visual Composer, Rev Slider, other super popular plugins that would cost you money, but you are able to get that packaged in. Again, it's great, but the downfall is you do not get the most updated version of that plugin. I don't know if it's due to contracts or how it works because I haven't developed a theme and I haven't chosen to and I will not at this time, but those plugins are always going to be added dates. So you got Word Press telling you Rev Slider is out of date, Visual Composer is out of date. Log in to get the most updated version. Well, you can't login into Visual Composer or Rev Slider unless you have their API license key, which you can get from Theme Forest.

Let's just do Rev Slider. So if you're using Rev Slider and you like it, it's a great slider, but where is it at? Shows you how much you can go to this website anymore. I don't even know, doesn't even matter. It's like, 20 bucks, I think. Oh, there we go, plugins. Rev Slider. And it's probably, it's called Revolutionary Slider, I think. Ah. So anyways, this is great. Screwing up the tutorial when I'm not even started. Anyways, there we go, Revolutionary Slider. It is 25 bucks, so if you wanted the most updated version of the plugin, you would have to spend 25 bucks for six months and then $8, so this is on top of the price that you paid for your theme and if you have any other plugins..............................
