It is an expert take on what happens around WordPress, written by the people who build premium WordPress themes and plugins. It covers four areas: buying themes on Envato and ThemeForest, the marketplace from the side of the authors who sell there, owning and taking over a WordPress site, and practical help with running one, from email deliverability to Core Web Vitals.
We are a studio that has worked with WordPress for more than ten years. We run two Elite author accounts on Envato, and our products have more than 3,500 active customers with an average rating above 4.9. What we write comes from that work, not from a press release.
We do not write about WordPress as if everything in it were good news, and we do not repeat whatever the community is pushing that month. Our view of WordPress today is closer to neutral than to cheerful: we write about its problems, criticize what deserves it and say it plainly, where many WordPress publishers write with no edge at all, mostly to promote their own products.
No. The blog exists to keep our opinions apart from our marketing. We hold our products to a high standard, but when we write about a topic we write about it on its merits, and a post does not need to end in a sales pitch.

Yes. Write to us through the contact page. A topic you want covered or an argument against something we wrote are both welcome, and a good counterpoint can change what we publish next.
