Premium WordPress themes are all the rage lately. In fact I recently upgraded to one myself and I LOVE IT!
Well… at least I thought I was in love until I saw this…
The WordPress Dream Theme is truly one of the most innovative WordPress themes I've seen. Ever.
It's the brain child of Internet Genius, Ben Cope and he's really out done himself on this one.
It fulfills the promise of converting WordPress into a full blown CMS (Content Management System) that is truly drag-n-drop, fill out a form, easy to use.
It looks good, it's easy to use, it's search engine optimized and everything you need to look, feel and market like a pro is built right in.
The WordPress Dream Theme is amazingly different from any other premium WordPress theme you have seen before! It can literally save you hours of frustration and hundreds of dollars in custom design work, because it includes free installation, setup, and customization …
If you're ready to step it up to the next level then check it out for yourself and as always let me know what you think…

Thanks for the review, Barry!
I am truly excited about making this theme available and I look forward to helping each and every subscriber put this theme to work for them!
My goal is to put an end to the frustration of customizing a blog, and to help people succeed on the internet! Thanks for your support!!
Ben, I'm always happy to do anything I can to make the Blogosphere a better place.
Not only do we share the same goal and philosophy but, us southern boys gotta stick together.
I think Ben is going to be one busy guy!
I wish this was around a few months when I bought a premium theme, spent days tinkering with it, and almost knew at the end that it wasn't what I wanted, but settled for it as I'd just invested so much time.
This is making me think real hard, as it seems to include everything to take my niche travel site blog site way out of the reach of the other bloggers in my arena, and save me a lot of time and frustration.
What are other's thinking about it?
Cliff,
You are so right. A premium WordPress theme will take any "normal" blog and put it "way out of the reach of the other bloggers in your arena".
Let's face it most blogs look like, well… BLOGS. And to the average web surfer that's probably not a very inviting look.
I was in the web design business for almost 12 years. The reason I was hesitant to start blogging is because most blogs I saw had no style and looked boring.
But, once I began to understand the, SEO, linking and content management power behind blogging I quickly realized that to continue to build static sites was silly. It's like driving a horse and buggy on the Autobahn.
I upgraded to the Revolution premium theme about 3 weeks ago. And while I really do love it I would not recommend it to a newbie or anyone who isn't familiar with PHP and HTML. I have to tinker with that stuff a lot when making changes, other than basic posting, to my blog.
When I saw what Ben was doing with the WordPress Dream Theme I knew that this was something that a lot of my readers could really benefit from.
You get the look and feel of a custom website with the power of a WordPress blog and you don't have to do any of the technical work.
Ben is going to be VERY busy.
I know you hear Internet Marketers say this all the time but, if you're reading this and you're thinking about upgrading your blog or transitioning to WordPress from a static HTML site then you should jump on his offer. Because, once he starts getting busy I can guarantee you the price is going to go up. It almost has to for what he's offering.
Free Installation, Free Customization, etc…

The revolution magazine theme looks great, which is why I bought it, but after putting it on my site I realized it could look a lot better for what I need. with minimal effort, you could make your site look a lot like that one. this theme has all the elements you need, you just have to rearrange it to make it look how you want. It does suck sometimes that you have to get under the hood and do some manual coding, but with the results, it's worth it. I would definately reccomend taking your main story and stretching it accross the top of the page so that it sets it apart and your readers aren't confused as to what's most important.
I like this theme, the one being featured here, but it's too similar to Adii's premium news theme. Sorry Ben, but you used the same header and the same general layout, now if I were choosing between the two, I would pick yours because of the features shown in the video, but all the premium theme's look alike. I think Brian is ahead of the competition because he's doing soething different, setting trends, and being a true innovator.
Nick,
I love Brian's themes and think his design work is great. And, while a lot of the premium themes may look similar, to use one is to definitely set your blog apart from the millions out there that are using old-style themes.
The "true innovation" of what Ben is doing with the WordPress Dream Theme is that he's making his easily accessible to everyone, not just us "Propeller Heads", by including setup and customization. Just a few tweaks here and there can give your site a completely different look.
If you don't know HTML and PHP and would rather spend your time writing for and marketing your blog rather than wrestling with code the WordPress Dream Theme is a good option for you.
Barry O.
Absolutely, and I'm not one of those propeller heads. I am horrible with code, about the most I can do is change colors. I got the generious people in Brian's forum to code everything else for me, and I just cut and paste. They have been great.
It does set you apart too, it says, 'i care about my work and take it seriously." Since gettig this theme my traffic has jumped, and I have been retaining my visitors at a higher percentage than ever. So there is soething to getting away from the scrolling list of posts.
The Dream theme does a lot of nice things. it's the package, it looks like Addi's theme rearranged, with some image dividers. It loks great, it does great things, and again, if I was in the market for adii's theme, I would buy this instead. I'll give you that, it's just design wise he worked off that base instead of innovating.
The original design inspiration for the WordPress Dream Theme came from a Joomla template called ja teline … and there are plenty of features which set it apart from Adii's designs (which are very nicely designed), like being able to switch out which categories are displayed on the home page, without having to edit any PHP code. Additionally, I should point out that the WordPress Dream Theme is a first generation WordPress Theme, and even more features are forthcoming, like the ability to easily add a slideshow of images on the home page that can link to any URL, again without having to edit any HTML or PHP code. Everybody that buys the Dream Theme gets FREE upgrades for one year whenever the theme is updated, PLUS free installation, setup, and customization … who else has ever offered to do that??
Well, your header smashes up in Firefox - apparently this was only tested in IE (a HUGE mistake). Other than that the theme is nice looking…

Which header are you referring to? I don't see any "smash up".
Actually, I use FireFox 99% of the time and only use IE when testing new sites.
the "consulting/services" links were wrapping into another line this afternoon for me when I first visited. Now it works, I'm trying to duplicate it, it was only on your home page.
