Welcome to simnorWP and what is it about?
Hello and welcome to simnorWP, okay thats the first bit of the title done.
So what is it about?
simnorWP is where you can find premium wordpress themes produced by me, freelance web designer Simon North. I specialize in Wordpress so you can be guaranteed that these themes are coded to the highest quality and with the user in mind.
I believe that premium means that it outclasses free themes, that expert support is available to help you and that the themes work out of the box without the need for plugins. What you see in the demo’s is what you will get when you install it on your blog (obviously you’ll need to add your own content :))
So, what are the advantages of choosing to use one of my themes over everybody else’s, well here are a few:
- As mentioned above, I don’t use plugins to provide the themes functionality so you can be assured that it will work “out of the box”
- Expert support and documentation to make sure that you get it set up and can use it with ease
- More control over the theme design through options pages, you can even set things like the font!
- Quality tested in all A class browsers including Internet Explorer 6
- Use of non-intrusive JavaScript for effects (this will not affect the functionality of the site if JS is turned off)
- Top quality design with content in mind
- A choice of colours and textures which you can control
- and much more
So when can I get them, I can’t see the site???
OK it’s not quite ready yet but it will be soon. I’ve set up this blog so that you can see progress and keep up to date with what I’m working on.
So what’s coming
Well I have two major themes in the works, a blog theme and a portfolio theme both of which are at the coding stage.
Prices!! How much is this going to set me back?
Themes will be around $60/each for a single license and $150 for a developers license. There will also be club membership which will be priced at $50/month or $100/3 months.

So who’s Simon North?
I am a freelance web designer and developer based in West Yorkshire, UK.
