The WooThemes Survey
12. Nov, 2008 by Adii Rockstar in Interactive
We really believe in the wisdom of the crowd and we have thus decided to launch a little survey of our own… The WooThemes Survey is the first of its kind in many regards, considering that there has never before been a survey to track the preferences / opinions of WordPress users in terms of themes in general, the commercial themes market and everything that goes along with this.
So with a little bit of help from the awesome interface at PollDaddy we’ve setup a survey containing 30-odd questions aimed to help us guage your preferences / opinions in this regard. The survey serves a dual purpose in the sense that we are trying to get feedback on general WordPress themes issues, as well as opinions with regards to WooThemes itself. The survey is however open to anyone, as the few WooThemes-specific questions are only aimed at current WooThemes users.
We also intend on sharing some of the information we can mine from the survey with regards to the community’s views on WP themes and the future thereof (whilst we will obviously exclude the information relating only to our business).
We are hoping for as many responses as possible and have therefor decided to give away at least 3 Developer Subscriptions to 3 lucky participants. The survey will be open for the next 3 weeks and will thus close on Wednesday, 3 December 2008.
So hop, skip & jump over to the WooThemes Survey and get cracking on those questions… It’ll only take you 5 minutes…

Question 10 might need an additional option. For those of us who use to be WooThemes members but have let our subscription expire. Can’t figure out whether I should say yes I’m a member or no I’m not a member.

Complete. Great survey, but I have to think more about the future suggestions part. Also, question 31 looks like it has Expressions Engine listed 2x.

Finished the survey and hoping to be lucky enough to get a subscription here.
I’ve always wanted to get a great Portfolio Theme from here, but just don’t have enough money as a 17 year young poor Filipino Blogger.

I hope my input helps!

The question on how you found Woo Themes only relates to blogs, search engines or banner ads. It is missing Magazine. You could then have had a text box for us to say which Magazine.
I was lucky enough to find you through my subscription to the awesome Web Designer magazine. Issue 149, on the Wordpress etc.
Thanks

DONE. More Power!

A thing on the polls.
Some questions might now have totally accurate results since there is no way to select multiple answers.
For example “What do you use Wordpress for”. What if I use it for personal AND business use?
Oh well, i’ll just pick one!
12 November 2008 at 10:25 am #
Done. I like that yall are taking feedback from customers and potential customers. Great stuff, as usual.
12 November 2008 at 10:39 am #

I’m 14. You didn’t fit me in your age limit; you shoulda put:
() 15 or under
() 16 to 24
() 25 to 34 etc..
And the EE dupe.. but love the site.. when I finally get paid for my work, I’ll spend it on Woo! =]
Woo Woothemes =]

Good questions – Though i missed some other options to some of the questions.
12 November 2008 at 5:06 pm #
Q.33 – Are you currently subscribed to one of the following WooThemes communications?
This question is listed as mandatory and doesn’t have the option “None of the Above”
It made me lie, I feel ashamed.
12 November 2008 at 5:34 pm #
Well, I HAD to say I was subscribing to something in the second last question…. I guess you should make it an option to be honest and say you don’t
12 November 2008 at 7:13 pm #
And……. done. Nice work guys, the poll needs a few more options but otherwise, well done for challenging your business processes and ideas by getting feedback from your subscribers and the theme community.

woo woo! good stuff Adii, what a way to find out what you need to do next hehe, I like how you pursuit success, hope you guys share the result, and if you think future, you should really think about the future, because things move fast around here.
Good looks

Closes on my birthday! Fingers crossed!!

Dear Sir,
Please check your question (Q.31)
If you answered yes above, for which platforms would you buy themes from WooThemes?
You have repeated Expression Engine twice (Textpattern is obmitted by mistake, I guess)
My answer to question 30 is
YES
and I would like to tick TEXTPATTERN.
Sincerely
Lau

was fun to complete the survey
13 November 2008 at 5:42 pm #
Nice survey, only takes 5min, so hope you have lots more participant. All the best.
13 November 2008 at 10:44 pm #
Ok, I meant to put in the form that if you made a theme for MoveableType that I might try it… but I had MT for so long, years ago, that I don’t know if I want to go back.
*hugs wordpress*

Completed.
15 November 2008 at 4:31 pm #
Done too. but the question about occupation, no student option. and the next question not suit me too.
16 November 2008 at 12:40 pm #
Done!
16 November 2008 at 1:39 pm #
Done.
Also, no option for Professional Windsurfer in the occupation question… surely an oversight… hehe.

Done! Good stuff. Looking forward to see what changes (if any) in direction you go and what effect the survey has on your decision. Really cool that you’re going to share some of the results.
Cheers!
