WPZoom, headquarted in Chisinau, Moldova, was founded in April of 2008 by Pavel Ciorci<\/a> and Dumitru Brinzan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While currently only a 7-person team, they have developed over 70 themes since opening five years ago. They currently maintain roughly 55 of those themes.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/b><\/h2>\n

Single<\/strong><\/p>\n

Individual themes are $75 each. Support and updates are included for 12 months, and you are free to use the theme on multiple domains.<\/p>\n

Extended<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cExtended License\u201d is $125, and this option includes picking up a second theme for free. And so, in essence, it\u2019s two themes for $125. PSD Photoshop files are included with this option. 12 months of support and updates are also included, and you can use the themes on multiple domains.<\/p>\n

Membership<\/strong><\/p>\n

A \u201cWPZoom Membership\u201d is $199 + $19\/mo. This gives you access to all 53 themes plus at least one new theme per month. PSD Photoshop files, support, and regular updates are also included; however, if you cancel your membership, then updates and support are terminiated.<\/p>\n

Of the 50-some active themes at WPZoom, 26 are responsive. Given the importance of mobile these days, I personally only consider mobile themes when looking at a theme developer\u2019s offerings. You may disagree with that approach, but there it is. And so the info below pertains to the 26 mobile themes.<\/p>\n

WPZoom Framework<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every WPZoom theme comes with the WPZoom Framework built in. While this will allow you to control some basic settings, it doesn\u2019t go so far as to allow dragging and dropping, for example. You do, however, get the choice of a full-width layout, even with Posts.<\/p>\n

To give you an idea, here\u2019s a partial list of some things you can control through a theme\u2019s settings pages:<\/p>\n
