Introducing the new Engipress Theme Shop

Hello. For future reference, I am interested in having a WP non-blog theme (or "template") to offer my webhosting clients. (I am a part-time low-budget reseller.) My questions and comments are:

1. I hear that WP 3.x+ has multi-domain capability within a single installation. Can each blog also have a separate "template"? Or will one template define every blog within a single installation?

2. In any case, I have a reseller account, so it is equally easy for me to activate numerous separate WP installs--or one WP install with multi-domain capability... I am still deciding and will post a separate thread on this issue... My question here is, if I do the separate installs, as a reseller webhost, will I need to pay $35 for each WP blog that uses a template? Even if all of these blogs are on separate domains but within a single WP installation? Or perhaps you offer a 'reseller' license for all blogs hosted on a single VPS server, regardless of whether with one WP or many WP installations?

3. I can only find your 2 themes "Dark Mystery" and "Corporate Light." (Please let me know if there are more.) I don't care for the "dark mystery" because I find white-on-black hurts the eyes. (Sorry to say, I am having some trouble reading this forum also. Opinions vary, but I personally agree with those who say "avoid white-on-black text.")

4. I do like the "Corporate Light" theme. However, this is lacking one popular feature I would like, a multi-image fade-in slide show on the Home page. I have seen this often with WP blogs. Is this perhaps a standard feature that can be added easily with any Wordpress installation? (I have not yet installed my WP so I don't know.) If not, I suggest that you add this feature.

Right now, I'd say each theme purchased is usable on however many installations they plan to use it with. So if there's several sub-domain sites on the same MS installation, then they'd only need to purchase it once. Once you buy the theme, it's yours to install and use as you please, as long as one doesn't do things like give it away to others for free, steal the credit, etc.


True, right now I do only have two themes listed there, mostly because I don't quite know what else I want to design. But if someone had a clear vision for a theme they'd like to see, and ask me to develop it for theme, that I can definitely do. I am working on more themes at any given moment, but I have no idea when they'll be released though, as they aren't complete yet.

I understand some people don't care for the "light text on dark background" look, however I do find that it's much easier to read when the background is darker than text. Looking at dark text on a very bright background for a long time can hurt the eyes. It's like staring at a light bulb for a few hours to me.
