What Do You Want in a Theme?

After recently releasing my 7th Wordpress theme , i think it’s about time i receive some feedbacks from frequent readers and bloggers on what they would like to see on my next theme release.

Help me with suggestions, comments regarding what you would want in a wordpress theme, 3 column?, widget ready? colour combination?, right or left sidebar?, 5 sidebars? :P .

I will gather your comments and try to incoporate your suggestions in my next theme release, i can’t promise that i will incoporate ALL your suggestions but at least you would be my guide to making even better themes.

So go on comments below or send me a mail, Thanks!

    I just downloaded your latest theme and is using it at this blog that I am commenting from. It’s very nice.
    I was hoping to find a theme that has all the neccassary SEO Codes and Plugins so i won’t have to optimise it myself.
    My preference is a fluid witdth 3 columns with 2 sidebars on the right.
    White background just like this one is perfect for me too.

    I choose a theme for his ergonomy, the way blocks are organized, the simplicity of the css. The font style and the mix of colors are very important too.

    Because every blogger wants to have his own look, I would like to see a Widget Ready, customizable theme similar in concept to the WP Theme Generator. The theme would be controlled entirely from radio buttons within a theme admin page.

    - 1 or 2 (or 3?) sidebars
    - sidebars on the right
    - a clear (hate dark) feel
    - don’t care about widget
    - no plugins bundled
    - don’t care about some popular plugin support ready (as long as the plugins are not bundled :)
    - a gazillion options to make me feel at home
    - an admin menu to manage all the options (hint)

    are my requirements for any theme I try :)

    I basically like what you have now. 3 column widget ready sidebars on the right. Should have the Wordpress Theme Toolkit built in, for customizing. I see far too little themes with the Wordpress Theme Toolkit, and IMO they should all have it.
