The WooThemes Survey

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… :)

    Well I hope my answers help you guys out! :D

  3. Benjamin

    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.

  4. Rob Schultz

    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.

  5. Kevin Paquet

    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.

  6. Dimitriou

    I hope my input helps!

  7. Liam Serrant

    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

    Liam

  8. Kiven

    DONE. More Power!

  9. Jared

    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!

  10. Nick Pagano

    Done. I like that yall are taking feedback from customers and potential customers. Great stuff, as usual.

  11. 1moneymania

  12. Min Tran

  17. Ben

  18. Søren

    Good questions - Though i missed some other options to some of the questions.

  19. clarklab

    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.

  20. Tor Borthen

    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 :-)

  21. Rowan Gillson

    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.

  22. paul0v2

    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

  23. Steven Jones

    Closes on my birthday! Fingers crossed!!

  24. Lau Chee Loong

    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

  25. Derek

    Survey done.

    Cheers!

  26. Gunay Donmez

    was fun to complete the survey :-)

  27. Kjell Wullaert

    Nice survey, only takes 5min, so hope you have lots more participant. All the best.

  28. Scott Donaldson

    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*

  29. Girish Sampath

    Completed.

  30. SE7EN

    Done too. but the question about occupation, no student option. and the next question not suit me too.

  31. Mayur Somani

    Done!

  32. Sean OBrien

    Done.

    Also, no option for Professional Windsurfer in the occupation question… surely an oversight… hehe.

  33. SuiteJ

    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!
