Themeforest is one of the best websites for website themes! If you are looking for a high quality theme for your website look no further than Themeforest. I have bought multiple themes and I have been extremely happy with all of them. One of the best things about Themeforest is that you can navigate through all the most popular themes easily.

The good thing about Themeforest is that you can search for themes specific to the type of website you are building whether that might be a corporate looking business theme or a funky blog theme! All the themes vary in prices and you can pick them up for as little as $3. Some themes cost more as I have paid around $40 before however that was for a theme with a lot of options that was very popular!

When you buy a theme through Themeforest you get not only the support from the independent developer but also the support of the whole Themeforest community which is a big plus!

One of the big bonuses for going through Themeforest is that they are a big brand in the world of website themes which means you can trust them.

Unfortunately some people use website themes to hack peoples websites and often this can happen when you pick up free themes through 3rd party websites. When you buy a theme through Themeforest they have to meet specific standards in order for the themes to be listed. This means you won't run into any trouble with hackers and your website will be secure!

So if you are thinking about buying a theme on Themeforest you should feel very confident

Please do not purchase from Envato (Themeforest, Codecanyon, etc), there is better support with plugins where you buy directly from the (highly recommended) plugins website. Envato/Paypal creates a wall for sellers to hide behind. Do not use paypal to buy software, they do not cover it, you cannot make a claim on intangible items like you can with your bank, and your bank has more protection and is more on your side than paypal. Most banks insure you up to $100k so your money is safe.

About my experience, I recently purchased a plugin on envato, posted an issue on the plugins support forum, and received no response, no support at all. I even bumped my post in case the author did not see it and had the purchase code in my profile like the forum states. Then I left a comment to him on the plugins page on envato, yet no response to my support post.
After waiting 2 weeks, I asked envato for a refund. The plugin advertised support but I could not get in contact with the plugins support.

Mario, the support at envato responds,
"Remember: although we do encourage authors to provide free support (and most do to generate better sales for themselves and keep their customers happy), the reality is that authors are not required to provide support and it is their choice to do so. This is also true for item updates, as long as the item is working correctly."

Yet the plugin advertises the complete opposite and states nothing about not having support on the pluins page on envato where you purchase it. To me this is ilegal. I cannot get away with this with my business, why do they?

Then Mario asked me what the problem was with the plugin, even after I explained in detail that my issue was with no customer support and fraudulent advertising, 2 weeks later he tells me they couldnt duplicate the issue so they couldn't give a refund. Lol of course!

Also the comment I left on envato, about not receiving any support, was deleted by envato. That comment was 100% true, I never received any support, yet they delete it. They do not want negative comments because to hinders sales. Yet by deleting all the negative comments warning others, this falsely entices people to purchase crap, and you will get no refund for fraudulent advertisements.

DO NOT SUPPORT BAD BUSINESS!

DO NOT BUY FROM ENVATO!

DO NOT USE PAYPAL FOR PURCHASES!

I have to agree with 41101. I bought a plugin which doesnt work on my site. I wrote about it on envato that was true and my comment was deleted without giving any reason. I just hope the author of the plugin can solve the issue otherwise I lose $20 for something I can't use. Guess will hardly get refund what I read on comments over the internet and when you open a dispute on paypal Envato will freeze your account at their site. So be careful if you are going to buy something at their marketplace.
