A leading WordPress theme development company, FrogsThemes.com, is proud to announce their latest professional theme designed specifically for agencies.

Agency Pro, which combines slick design with a feature-packed CMS, is the latest offering to their ever-growing portfolio of professional WordPress themes designed for individuals or businesses looking for a simple, easy to use template on which to grow their website presence. Agency Pro was developed following a high number of requests for an agency theme to the FrogsThemes.com founders, Gary Hartley and Nick Boldison.

Managing Partner Gary Hartley said:

We always listen to customer feedback and there was a clear demand for a professional WordPress theme which was more tailored to a specific type of business rather than just a generalised theme. We knew that Agency Pro would deliver on every level for web agencies, design agencies, media agencies, marketing agencies and many more, so we’re thrilled with the finished result and we’re confident this will become one of our best-selling themes.

The new theme is designed with a custom hero banner for maximum visual impact and offers agencies all the key elements they need to make a presence on the web. Its also fully responsive, resizing neatly for mobile and tablet devices. Edgy, creative and customisable, Agency Pro’s jam-packed theme options give complete flexibility to all site owners.

The rise of cost-effective WordPress theme-based websites is proof that pricey bespoke custom website design and development is becoming less favourable. As of March 2012, WordPress was installed on 72.4 million websites.

The new theme, which is ready to download on the FrogsThemes.com website for just $39 is available with an individual licence or a developer licence, which is supplied with all PSD files and allows for multiple usage of the theme. Download Agency Pro or visit FrogsThemes.com today to find out more.

Reintroducing single theme purchases

Due to the overwhelming demand for single theme purchases, we are reintroducing this option for all our themes. The pricing is simple and includes some freebies (naturally).

Professional and developer package options:

Both packages include the theme without compromises and offer 12 months support and updates as standard. You can use the theme for life and should you require further updates and support after the first year you can upgrade to the lifetime support and updates package either at checkout stage or in your account at a later date.

The professional package is perfect if you’re a DIYer and building you’re own site. You get the theme, all the theme options to style it up in the admin and a bonus theme of your choosing.

The developer package costs a little more and is perfect for developers and agencies looking to develop a website for their clients. You get access to the themes PSD files and you also get 2 bonus themes. If you buy 2 developer themes for example, we’ll give you 4 bonus themes – cool!

The pricing is simple too. $48 for a professional package and $99 for the developer package.

The VIP club for serious WordPress addicts

The club is being changed to fall inline with our new pricing model and still offers amazing value for money. The club will offer access to every theme in our collection and every theme we release while you stay active. You also get unlimited access to our dedicated 1-1 support, theme updates and access to our WordPress video training series. The price, $150 setup and then $10 a month with no long contracts so you can cancel at anytime. We plan on releasing a new theme each month so you can download fresh themes throughout the year and get the support and updates you need.

If you’re a current member to the job don’t worry, your subscription will stay the same – our commitment to you!

Bonus themes

So as we mentioned above, single theme purchases come with free bonus theme/s. A professional package offers 1 bonus professional theme and the developer package offers you 2 bonus developer themes. This is a great way of getting a taste of what our next generation WordPress themes can offer you before you no doubt decide to become an addict and joining the club.

We’ve made the process of choosing your bonus themes simple and flexible. Once you have bought your theme, you can login to your members area and download your purchased theme. You can also select which bonus theme you want and download that. We put no time limit on when you choose your theme so if none take your fancy at the moment, you can wait until a shiny new one is released and grab it while it’s hot!

Support and updates

Support and updates are for 1 year as standard. You can upgrade to the Lifetime support package for just $50 at checkout of in your active members areas. If you’re a club member, you can access support and theme updates while your an active club member. Cancel and you lose access to this invaluable support plus new theme releases, updates and WordPress video training.

New payment options

PayPal has been our only payment option over the last couple of years and it has been great for us and our customers. Recently we have discovered a few of our customers have had issues processing payments with PayPal and they have requested an alternative method of payment. The problems mostly originate in the Far East with recurring payments and even clients closer to home have had similar issues.

So, when we relaunch, we’re introducing 2Checkout as an alternative payment option. 2Checkout supports most major Debit/Credit cards in 5 languages and 26 currencies so it’s a great alternative to PayPal should you not want to use them.

New membership system

We’re working on a new system to handle our existing subscribers. At the moment PayPal handles most aspects of the membership and payment billing and now we’re looking at offering 2Checkout as an alternative, we are taking the opportunity to use a dedicated system to handle this.

Questions?

If you have any questions about any aspect of this site update and any affect it may have on your current membership and account, simply drop us a ticket in your support area or leave a comment below.

We’re only just into 2013 and already we have launched our first WordPress theme of the year. Today we’d like to introduce you to Refresh Pro, our latest and greatest WordPress business theme.

Refresh Pro has some pretty awesome features but the one to highlight above all others is the support of WordPress’s new Post Formats. Post Formats in simple terms is the ability to post different types of blog posts, including featured images, galleries, videos, audio files, quotes and links. With Post Formats, you don’t have to write a full blog post if you’re intention is to simply post a quick quote or audio file. Refresh Pro takes Post Formats to the next level and makes them look fantastic, without you having to do anything other than paste a link in for example. Refresh Pro gives your business blog a Tumblr style identity while making it so easy to use.

It’s worth noting however that Refresh Pri isn’t a responsive theme. Following a high demand to release simple, cross browser tested business themes, we have delivered on these customer demands and delivered Refresh Pro. We believe in adding variety to our portfolio of themes and Refresh Pro clearly shows this intent, while offering our loyal customers the variety of choice they deserve. We will be releasing plenty of responsive business themes over the coming months so there will be a great choice to choose from.

Here are some quick screenshots of Refresh Pro in action.

We tend to release these previews 2-3 weeks ahead of the launch of the theme so our users can prepare for it and potentially plan a use for it on either an existing and new website.

Refresh Pro is aimed at businesses looking for a fresh, modern WordPress theme without the responsive support. After a lot of feedback, and support from our existing users, we’ve decided to launch a mix of themes, some fully responsive and some not. Refresh Pro is a simple yet fully featured WordPress theme and we think you’ll love it.

Keep your eyes peeled for the launch and signup to the club if you haven’t already. You’ll get access to all our current themes, plus Resfresh Pro and every theme released for the next year. Amazing huh?

You can craft each portfolio page to the work your showcasing with the extra theme styling options within the theme. If you’re not feeling so creative, the theme has a gorgeous default colour palette and automatic resizing scripts that make adding and editing new work really quick, unbelievably simple and even gives you that giddy feeling when you see it at work.
