Money, Fame and Community Contribution
Hundreds of people are creating websites each day on Spruz Platform compatible and connected communities. Though the specific networks have different feature sets and demographics, one of the things in particular that is consistent throughout is design management and theme format. So we have hundreds of people creating sites and each and every one of them has to pick a theme when they do.

This is where YOU come in. We have recently opened up a special theme sharing feature that allows any site owner to create their own themes to share with the community. As more people get involved with building great themes for the community, we will be adding more great ways to be recognized with featured areas of the Theme Library for top contributors, highest rated themes, etc. You can provide themes for free, which is an excellent way to get known quickly. Then you can start charging for your themes as well. Let's do some quick math here. If you make some great themes that people like it would be easy to start racking up 20 or more purchases a day. If you charged $10 for each theme, that's $200 a day! The more quality themes you make the more installs you get and it just goes up from there.

How do you make a theme?

It's probably easier than you think. We've recorded some live webinars that we had talking about theme creation and showing how it's done. We have also launched a great developer site for fellow theme designers to get together and swap ideas and for us to provide you with valuable resources.

How do you submit a theme?

Here's a help article to walk you through it: http://www.spruz.com/?page=content&cid=38498&show_id=38507

How do you get your theme approved?


To get your theme approved you need to follow a couple simple guidelines.
  • Be original. It is fine to start with an existing theme from the theme library, but make the changes needed to make it your own. If it looks almost exactly like a theme we already have, chances are it will not be accepted into the theme sharing program.
  • Check for Usability. Make sure all the colors and backgrounds work together to make everything on the site work and text visible. There's no point in creating a theme that breaks a site's functionality. Check places like forums, blogs and sub navigation menus, to be sure it all works well and looks good doing it.
