Note: If you’re still in the ‘research’ phase with Thesis, do keep in mind that there is a 30-day guarantee. Take it for a test drive and see how you get on. It’s a much better use of your time than reading review after review.
Here’s the deal. If you are going to buy Thesis theme, you need to buy it through this link.
That way, you will qualify for a bonus kit I’ve specifically put together to help you get the most from Thesis.
What Do I Think About Thesis?
I’m a big fan of Thesis and of its creator Chris Pearson. If you’re in the market for a premium wordpress theme, then Thesis is definitely the right choice. Don’t be tempted to scrimp on a cheaper theme or opt for a free theme – good stuff costs money, that’s a fact of life.
That said, there are a couple of minor shortcomings with Thesis, and that’s what my bonuses are designed to cover. To qualify, buy through this link, and you will get:
Bonus #1: The one SEO plugin you absolutely must use with Thesis
Thesis is absolutely the best theme out there for on-site SEO. It’s actually designed not to need SEO plugins like All-In-One SEO, because you control all your SEO elements from within Thesis.
However, no matter how good Thesis is, it can’t control one important facet of your on-site optimization. I’ll leak the plugin I use for that final piece of the SEO jigsaw.
Bonus #2: A Sexy Thesis Site Header
The Thesis design options are great, but getting your header to look cool can be a real pain. The default options take up too much space, pushing your content further down the page unnecessarily. I’ll take you step by step through how to customize your own site header.
Bonus #3: Three steps you should take to “unThesisify” your site
There are a lot of great Thesis customizations out there, but with the vast majority you can still tell that they use Thesis.
I’ll show you the 3 things you can should on your site to hide any trace that you use Thesis, yet still take advantage of all of Thesis’s power – so that you can express your individuality to the full. I’ll even throw in the actual CSS that you should use to do this.
Bonus #4: Your Thesis SEO Hot-Sheet
Print this out and keep it next to your computer. Think of it as your SEO checklist of the simple but powerful things you need to do inside Thesis to a) set your site up correctly and b) Optimize your individual posts as you write them.
To qualify for these bonuses, buy Thesis through this link then post your transaction number in the comments area of this page.
NEW! If you get the Developer’s License, you’ll also get:
Bonus #5: My Thesis skin
The design you’re looking at right now (yes, this site runs on Thesis). I’ll send you the custom files, and the rights, to use this theme on your site.
Bonus #6: Win back your Thesis investment
Once a month I hold a draw where the winner wins back their $164 investment in Thesis.
Bonus #7: Charity donation
This month the selected charity is the HAITI disaster relief fund. I’ll donate 10% out of my own proceeds of the sale (note this doesn’t cost you a penny more than normal).
To qualify for these bonuses, buy Thesis through this link then post your transaction number in the comments area of this page.
Why Am I Offering These Bonuses?
I use Thesis Theme on 80% of my sites. I’m a big advocate and I’m excited to see the direction Chris Pearson is taking the theme.
Naturally, Thesis Theme has an affiliate program, and I belong to it. When you purchase through my link it costs the same, but I’ll send you all of the above bonuses as a thank you. Offering them is my ethical bribe, but regardless or not of whether you buy through me, you should take Chris up on his 30 day guarantee. Purchase Thesis through this link.
How To Claim Your Bonuses
After you make your purchase here, post your Paypal transaction number in the Comments Section below.
In the email field, be sure to use the email address tied to the Paypal account you used to make your purchase. Once I verify your order, I’ll send through your bonuses.
One last thing…
While the post-sale support for Thesis is out of this world, the DIYThemes team can be a little tricky to get hold of pre-sales. Chris prefers to offer the money-back guarantee so that you can discover things for real, rather than asking lots of hypothetical questions. That said, I have a lot of experience with Thesis, so if you do have any pressing questions, be sure to ask them in the comments below.
Now go and get Thesis already!

Hey Lauchlan, Hey Jesse, I’ve just dealt with your bonuses. Best of luck and any questions let me know.
Can you tell me if there are any problems running conventional plugins with Thesis? I understand that some of the SEO related plugins can be dispensed with, but I have at least one that I use on a lot of my sites (t do with incorporating Amazon feeds into posts).
Hey Charlie, great question.
1- You’re right about SEO plugins. Chris (the guy behind Thesis) is anti-plugins, and he’s done a sterling job at internalising most on-page SEO capabilities.
2- You should have no issue with other plugins. I don’t. Plugins interact with the WP core instead of the theme. Most plugin issue arises when wordpress release a new version of THEIR software, rendering plugin code obsolete.
3 – To be sure, take them up on their 30-day guarantee. Worst case, you ask for your money back. But this is highly unlikely.
Good luck (and remember to buy it via this page

Whoo Hoo!
Bonus Kit is wonderful and addresses several things that I was fruitlessly trying to change, except for one. Looks like I’ll be upgrading to Developer real soon.
Thanks a bunch Max!
Just processed the latest batch, I’m doing some final tweaks to my own theme so I’ll email you the skin once I’m 100% happy with it.
Talk soon,
Max
Hi Max,
Just received your bonuses and they are great!
Really glad that I found your site before I bought Thesis (which is also awesome)
Thanks mucho!

Max,
I have a simple blog and am http/code-writing illiterate.
1. Would Thesis theme be for one like me?
2. If yes, can I remove the footer attribution in the $67 version or do I need to buy the Developer’s version although I am not, by any stretch of imagination a developer…
Thanks,
DT
Hey Dorin, good questions
1. Yes – it allows you to do a lot of stuff just by clicking a button in the Thesis interface. For example, choosing 1, 2 or 3 columns, the width of the columns, what links to put in the navigation menu, font type, font size, background color etc etc. So for a ‘code illiterate’ (!), Thesis gives you the most flexibility.
2. The term ‘developer’ version is a bit misleading by Chris. It’s actually the exact same theme as the personal version, it just grants you the license to put it on more sites (and gives you permission to remove the footer link). You’re not permitted to remove the footer link with the personal version.
Hope that helps…
Max
@ Max Bourne
Max,
Thank you for the prompt answer. It bags for more… questions:
1. I shouldn’t care too much about the footer link; should I ? I ken costumize the footer bu keep the footer link, true?
2. Does the the “non-developer” version come with free upgrates? They have started to talk about version 1.7 or even 2.0.
3. How difficult would be to move the content of my current simple blog (it uses Kubrick theme) into the Thesis?
Thank you for taking the time to answer me!
Dorin
Hey again
1. Yes you’re right, don’t worry about the footer link. It won’t affect your site at all.
2. Yes and No: you get free upgrades for the wordpress theme. 1.7 (I think) has just been released. However, only those with a developer’s license will get a free upgrade to Thesis 2.0 (rumors are that it’s a separate content management system that doesn’t require wordpress). BUT, you will get any and all upgrades for the part of Thesis that remains a wordpress theme. Make sense?
3. No need to ‘move over’ your content. You literally just have to activate the new theme in your wordpress panel and it’s all done.
Take care,
Max

Thansks,

Good choice Dorin. Check your email. Take it slow, some of these bonuses rely on at least a rudimentary knowledge of CSS (for the most part you can just copy and paste and it will work).
@ Max Bourne
I’ll go ahead with the basics. Should I need to use the bonuses, I’ll ask somebody to help.
Take care,

Hey Owen, apologies for the delay this week – I’ve lost access to my affiliate account for some reason and they’re still trying to sort it out. Tell you what, let me know if you bought the personal or developers option and I’ll process this regardless of what my stats say.
Hey Max, no problem at all. I bought the developers version. Thanks.

Max after seeing all the bonuses offered for thesis I chose yours because it seemed the most helpful, all the other ones seemed like just a bunch of PLR junk.
this one is the one that got my attention:
“Bonus #3: Three steps you should take to “unThesisify” your site”
Thanks for the bonuses and good luck with everything.

I’m really looking forward to getting started with Thesis, including your cool ideas. Thanks for the extra incentives.
