Without good photography, any WordPress Theme will look bad.
If you’re someone who’s purchased a WordPress theme before, you might relate to this experience: You see a theme that looks great in the demo before you purchase. However, once you install the theme, you realize that all of the great photography that you saw in the demo doesn’t come with the theme – and it’s looking pretty darn plain!
If you’re a photographer and you’ve got some great photos that match your website’s color-scheme and brand, you’re all set! However, if you’re not a photographer you might find yourself stuck at this point. You might feel “duped” by the theme seller – who made their “demo” look great by purchasing a lot of great Stock Photography – but they neglected to tell you that they’d spent over $1000 on Stock Photography to make their Theme’s demo look great.
We want to do things a bit differently, better.
When you purchase one of our themes, we have either taken the photos in-house or used 100% royalty free photos for all major design elements. Aside from some of our wordPress wedding themes (where you would assuredly want replace the photos of another couple with your own), we make sure that you have the license to use the photos in our “demos”, and that they are delivered with the theme when you purchase. Not only are they delivered, but they are uploaded DIRECTLY to the places they need to be on your website.
Great Photos Included, but still easy to swap.
Because all of our Theme Bundles are powered by MP Stacks (our page building WordPress Plugin), you can easily swap out any photo that comes with a Bundle. This is an extremely simple tool for those who have photos of their own that they want to use with the Theme. And so, while we make it super simple to change any photos, you also get great photography with all of our themes in-the-box.
Where to get some great photos for free:
If you’ve purchased a theme from another company and had this sinking feeling directly after purchasing – realizing that the photos aren’t included and the theme looks really “empty” now, there are a few things you could try. There are some great free photo websites out there that allow you to use their photos at no extra cost. One of our favourites is UnSplash – https://unsplash.com/.
